Summary/Abstract: Homeland (Heimat), love of one's homeland or native country (Heimatliebe), homelessness as deprivation of the homeland (Heimatlosigkeit), or nostalgia as grief for the homeland (Heimweh) are concepts we encounter in everyday life. Aren't we surrounded every day by cultural artifacts that suggest to us that we belong to or are "excluded" from a group, people or nation, outside of their geographical indications? The author examines the following questions: What makes us feel to belong to a country as homeland? Is it possible to build a homeland? What happens when you have more than one homeland – one old and one new – and in general, how much do we need a homeland?
