Erwin Gebhardt: From the street to the pilgrimage path - an inspiring journey
Erwin Gebhardt, a 58-year-old man from Schorndorf, not only turned his own life upside down, but also had a lasting impact on his social worker Ingrid Salmann-Kapouranis. Inspired by his own pilgrimage, he encouraged her to also go such a way. Gebhardt has a Fritzle supporter and now goes on a pilgrimage.
His way to pilgrimage is characterized by a moving life story. Gebhardt was born with just one healthy hand and grew up in a large family with seven siblings in precarious conditions. Already as a teenager he got into trouble, fought alcohol and drug problems and lived on the street at the age of 21. He experienced his first detoxification in Winnenden. Despite his difficult past, he has mastered the challenges and now lives in his own apartment - but not without the permanent consequences of his early years.
