Am letzten Tag fuhr ich nach Köpenick, um einem besonderen deutschen Helden meinen Respekt zu zollen.
On my last day in Berlin I visited a very special German folk hero in Köpenick:
Friedrich Wilhelm Voigt (13 February 1849 – 3 January 1922) was a German impostor who, in 1906, masqueraded as a Prussian military officer, rounded up a number of soldiers under his “command", and "confiscated” more than 4,000 marks from a municipal treasury. Although he served two years in prison, he became a folk hero as The Captain of Köpenick and was pardoned by Kaiser Wilhelm II. WIKIPEDIA
