and populate the ring mountain - the Furry fans with and without Plüschschwanz, with costumes, dull ski towards ears… and them must let themselves be asked again and again, what them to actually make there. They celebrate the largest meeting, which gives it at all in Europe. It, which is over 900 artists and fans of anthropomorphic animal shapes, which so much wants to be called that the predominantly young people are occupied with animals, to which human characteristics are awarded and which for example in fables to appear. And they do that on many artistic levels. With designs, Cartoons, Comics, in stories and music, in the theatre or doll play and evenly also with the carrying of costumes, which outward the most spectacular representational form is undoubted.

“the USA with the fan meetings began 1990 with 69 people”, say Jörg Reuter, speaker of the Eurofurence registered association in Germany - here it gives about 5000 Furry fans - found one that cool and followed. And the meetings enjoy of ever larger popularity. “In this year we were written off within four hours. Genuinly the insanity”, says Dirk long.

From 32 countries is the Furries (note D. Talk.: in fur dresses) traveled. Most come from Germany, Great Britain, which is the USA, from Holland and from France, in all occupational groups represents, are more or less well betucht. The meeting of this year stands for Jörg Reuter under the slogan “110 Arabia Nights” and that a proper explosion at creativity produced, so. Which miracles that now also the desert fox boom celebrates - with the draughtsmen, the animated film doers or the costume carriers.

For the last time in Suhl?

Artists and fans, who can communicate otherwise only via Internet with one another, become acquainted with themselves, set themselves together in scene, “so that one sudden acquaintance in the whole world have”, are Dirk long by the meeting just as enthusiastically as from the conditions, which to them the ring mountain hotel offers, in that the Furries now already to third time to hundreds logieren. “The hotel, the layer, which crew - we are completely enthusiastic,” praises Jörg Reuter, pushes however after that this will be probably the last meeting on the ring mountain. “We became simply too large and have meanwhile so many fans, whom we do not want to leave on the waiting list versauern, so that we must look for each other a still larger house.”

Hotel boss Wolfgang F. Kanig is whether these prospects somewhat betrübt, but relatively surely that they will come back sometime. Because it and its team adjust themselves completely to the illustre troop. “Our coworkers drive this week hard layers.” The catering trade concept was completely changed over - the XXL Burger runs super, nearly a ton of Pomme of frites was ordered… But the fans of the animals with human characteristics, how they appear also in Comicfiguren such as nose Bunny or Micky mouse, will not say good-bye to Suhl, without doing a good work. As is the case for everyone their meetings start they also in this year a Charity project. And is called: The game Animal park OF Suhl - the Suhler Tierpark.

And in addition occurs to the many creative heads more to run around than with a donation can which the people in the quaint costumes certainly also do and for each klimpernden euro a Freudentänzchen full-led applaud or into the Pranken. Over an art auction money is to come into the cash and also the pool party of yesterday apart from the large fun factor 500 euros had brought in. Besides today, starting from 14 o'clock of eight costume carriers in the Tierpark on the way to be, “with those visitors against a donation to be photographed be able can”, places Marion Fischer, responsibly for the Charity projects, in prospect. Against 16.30 o'clock is to give it a parade of the pelzigen guests. “We visited the Tierpark in the last two years - the coworkers are unbelievably productive. If one sees, what changed and knows everything that is to be still more kind-fairly converted, but however hardly money actual errs there. That convinced us, therefore we help, thereby here further which go.” If that is not an indication for it that the Furries comes nevertheless again to Suhl…
