Anna Heiser Says Germany Is "So Dreckig" After Short Visit

An Instagram clip shot at Dortmund Airport drew wide media attention and sharply divided reactions online.

Overview

  • The former reality TV star posted the video after a three-day return visit in which she said Germany looked much dirtier than when she moved there in 2010.
  • In the clip she films the floor at Dortmund Airport and asks, „Was ist mit diesem schönen, ordentlichen, gepflegten Land passiert?“, using the airport footage as an example of her complaint.
  • Heiser wrote in the post’s caption that her remarks were not meant as a political statement and later urged followers to keep comments respectful.
  • Reactions on social media were split, with some followers agreeing and others warning that a brief visit does not justify a broad judgment about the whole country.
  • Reporters note her transnational biography — born in Poland, lived in Germany and Namibia, now in Poland again — and say the episode shows how a celebrity’s personal impressions can quickly become a national talking point about urban upkeep and public services.
