Ulf Erdmann Ziegler read from the text "Pomona" (a West German settlement in the 1960s) at the invitation of Alain Claude Sulzer. The jury was divided into two camps in its criticism: "A house with two entrances", stated the somewhat antipathetic Ursula März finally.

"The age of the pill generation" was over-graphic in portrayal

März was the first to speak. The text depicted the "Pill generation", the time which followed the 1950s, very vividly - a bit too vividly, unfortunately. The listener is quickly drawn into the story, and great importance is attached to the naming of things - the rest of the text suffers as a result. "What bothers me is the demonstrative, his material points outwards too much".

To sedate and "strangely cosy"

Ijoma Mangold was similarly unimpressed. He said, "there are too many jokes of the kind your uncle might make" to be seen. This story of the Federal Republic of Germany is told as a "conscious idyll", as a "return to paradies". Although the text mastered its medium very well, it was "too sedate" and so "strangely cosy". That was the narrative principle of the "Generation Golf" in the 60s, a patent remedy where the right catchword was always at hand.

Encroaching into the world of our own parents

Spinnen said that this "forcibly striking" text about building and settling is the start of an encroachment into a world less known -  namely that of our parents. In terms of cultural heritage considerably less is known and less made of this generation than our grandparents' generation. "The author himself doesn't seem to trust his own sobriety and relationship with objects quite enough", Spinnen said.

Strigl was taken by the "flitting casualness"

Daniela Strigl described it as the story of "pioneers", who had no other ambition in life other than to represent a milieu and a time, she liked this "flitting casualness" a lot.

Nüchtern also found the text "likeable"

Klaus Nüchtern agreed with the previous comments: "A very likeable text", the mimetic achievement of which is in getting closer to a particular age. "This takes us back in a cool and pleasant fashion, an experimental set-up "not plastered with comments".

"High elegance of the literary medium"

Andre Heiz said that the text lives up to its own pretensions. The microcosm which is "alien" to him possessed a "high elegance" of its literary medium.
Alain Claude Sulzer stated that the text was incredibly rich: "My eyes were filled with colours whilst reading this". He sees "so much potential in reality" in this text, as in no other: "Pomona stays on its feet and refuses to wobble".

"That may be, however not everybody seems to like it", said presenter Dieter Moor in summary.
