"About 20 percent of men are a support in the delivery room."

Linda Kurzweil stands in her kitchen in a Kreuzberg back building. Born in Berlin in 1972, she once wanted to become a midwife because she admired the woman who had helped give birth to her own children. Seventeen years ago, she trained at the Neukölln Hospital. Since then, she has supported expectant mothers not only during childbirth, but also in the months before and weeks after.
