At the end they all lived together in the house in Malkes a small village close to Fulda. Here they prepared for the great trip. 

Geigi and Manfred rented the house at first just to get out of the city. then Katharina as a close friend of Geigi came in. The bus was bought and one after the other moved in. At the end Geigi, Manfred, Katharina, Hermann, Jutta and Gogo lived permanently in the house.

It became a new centre beside the old Lanneshof where the rest of the Zwiebel  were. The entire year before they finally took off with the bus Malkes was the centre for Music, Dreams and preparations. Geigi was working as an Electrician, Manfred and Hermann were doing driver jobs. Katharina and Bine were still preparing for their high-school graduation, Jutta was making some cleaning jobs and Seppel was still at home and in school, but he organized all car-parts needed for the bus because his owned a company selling that stuff. 

Geigi and Gogo were very much into the bus preparations. Hermann received some money from his grandmother to buy the bus. They out together 7000,- DM and bought it from a guy in Gläserzell who already had fixed the bus from a regular 40 seat vehicle  to a RV. They only had to fix it for their needs as a group of 8 people. which suppose to be the core of the group which finally suppose to leave Fulda.

It was not always clear who was joining the bus. A lot of disturbing discussions developed during the preparations. Manfred was pulling back and fourth and finally the group decided not to take him with them. But at the end he was part of it.

Ali came from Berlin and also he was denied. He didn't care and went back to Berlin.

The bus was prepared in the barn of an old farm house where some friends of them lived. It was fun to work on the bus, to make it livable for 8 people. A kitchen with a gas stove, a wardrobe, shelves, a moveable board, a bunk bed with space for eight.

Geigi brought August to Fulda.
