The Last Children Of Schewenborn / int_40cc0c7e	comment	Bittersweet Ending: Order in Schewenborn is restored, the town manages a new life and even has a mayor again, also potatoes and more robust vegetables are growing again. Roland and his father stayed there and are now teaching children at the local school. However, the years before claimed countless lives and the children born since the apocalypse are usually severely disabled. Nevertheless, Roland believes into teaching them, since they are “the last children of Schewenborn” and even if humanity has only some years left, it shall be good years.

The Last Children Of Schewenborn / int_4108bb3e	comment	Doomed Hometown: Frankfurt am Main, the protagonist’s old hometown, was destroyed in the nuclear attack. The same thing happened to every other larger Central European city (implied by the protagonist meeting Czech and Dutch survivors), including rather meaningless ones like Fulda, and the Bennewitz family are implied to be the last living inhabitants of Frankfurt.
