Rico Liesch

Rico Liesch is a resident of Brienz/Brinzauls who has decided to demolish his house in the village after enduring the challenges posed by repeated evacuations due to geological hazards. His decision reflects a painful acknowledgment of the village's lost spirit, which he attributes to the ongoing threat from the mountain. Liesch is concerned about the future of his family, as demonstrated by his granddaughter's poignant essay about uncertainty in 2026, and he expresses skepticism about the authorities' management of the crisis.
