This Salzburger is also happy without electricity

No more electricity at all! After a long legal battle with his energy supplier, Johannes Geisler from Mattsee has been sitting in the dark for almost two months - and that doesn't bother him in the slightest! "This is a very special research project for me," he laughs.

The visit to Johannes Geisler begins with a misunderstanding. Despite pressing the doorbell several times, no one opens the door. Has the man from Mattsee missed his appointment with the "Krone"? No. Ringing the doorbell at the former manager's house is pointless. "The bell no longer works either," grins Geisler. Because: "Of course, you also need electricity for that." And there has been no electricity in the house of the man from Salzburg for almost two months.
