In the start of the story, twelve-year-old Roland Bennewitz, his parents and his two sisters travel from Frankfurt am Main to Schewenborn, a fictional town in Hessen, to visit their grandparents there. Even an international crisis between the Western and the Eastern bloc cannot stop them. But while they are on their way, tensions escalate. Germany is nuked into shambles. The family nevertheless tries to make a new life in Schewenborn...well, emphasis is on "tries"...
!! Contains examples of the following tropes:
* ActionSurvivor: Averted. There is far less action going on in the wasteland than one would expect in the genre.
* AfterTheEnd: The setting is Germany turned into a nuclear wasteland following the Cold War getting hot.
* ApocalypseHow: Class I. Mainly severe societal and environmental disruption.
* BittersweetEnding: 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.
* BornAfterTheEnd: Deconstructed. There are rarely children born, and those who survive are usually disabled by mutations. One example is the protagonist’s sister Jessica Martha.
* BuryYourDisabled: Jessica Martha Bennewitz is born without eyes and arms due to radiation. Her father kills her after her birth out of the cold logic that she couldn’t survive anyway.
* CrisisPointHospital: The local hospital is overflowing with radiation sickness patients when Roland helps there.
* DeathByChildbirth: Roland’s mother dies due to complications and NoHealthcareInTheApocalypse when Jessica Martha is born.
* DeathOfAChild: All siblings of the protagonist die, including the two other children his family took in. Not to forget all the other children who must have died, especially in the initial attacks.
* DoomedHometown: 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, including rather meaningless ones like Fulda, and the Bennewitz family are implied to be the last living inhabitants of Frankfurt.
* GreatOffscreenWar: Downplayed. We hear that tensions rose between the Western and Eastern bloc the weeks before. We also see something of the war, but it is only a flash from a nuclear blast close by.
* ThePlague: Epidemics are common in Schewenborn after the nuclear blast, and the diseases were usually believed to be no danger anymore. Due to NoHealthcareInTheApocalypse and bad hygiene in general, they are again.
* PollutedWasteland: What most of Central Europe becomes in the story.
* TakeCareOfTheKids: A woman Roland meets in the hospital asks him to care for her two children before she dies of radiation sickness. Roland complies and brings the children to his mother, who cannot bring it over herself to send the two away again.
* WorldWarThree: Happens as the plot-triggering event and is implied to last less than a single hour.
