Michael met Schleiter family in 1995, when he performed during a TV-show “Wetten, dass...?“ in Germany, and since then their friendship emerged, which lasted for many years. Michael visited them, and then they came and stayed at the Neverland. “He visited them for eight days in the summer of 1997, living in their ordinary red-brick home in Hamburg in the run-of-the-mill residential district of Niendorf. They would go on bicycle tours and collect shells on the banks of the river Elbe in the dead of night without anyone knowing at the time. Further incognito visits followed until January 2006, when local media discovered that the superstar was in town together with two of his children, Paris and Prince, and predictably treated it as a sensation. A radio station offered ?5,000 (Dh25,700) for a photo of him, and hundreds of fans laid siege to the house. Mr Schleiter called the police who did not believe the story at first and asked to see Jackson's passport. The local chief of police then handed over his card for Jackson to autograph, and arranged for a fence to be put up around the house. Eventually Jackson appeared at the first-floor window and held up a note that read: “I am so proud to be back in Hamburg. You make me so happy.“ Anton's younger sister opened the front door to collect postcards, albums and posters from the fans. Half an hour later she returned. Jackson had signed them all. “He rampaged around the house with the children, played hide-and-seek, crept behind curtains,“ Bild newspaper cited a friend of the family as saying at the time. Jackson did not return to Hamburg after that“. () The memories of fans concerning Michael's visitation of Schleiter family in 2006 you can find in the book titled “It’s all about .” () in the chapter “ - Michael in Hamburg, Germany“. Recently, at the at the initiative of fans from Germany, documentary with participation of Schleiter family “Michael Jackson – Auf der Suche nach der Wahrheit“ was made: #!/v/mjdangerous12/Qmf4jFCq1YZwFXeeeULTAjw2E7FbMgYxf7xjdWJSqKUjQP This family still consider Mihael their best friend and they are completely convinced that he is not guilty of the accusations made. “His mission for his time on earth was not only to bring happiness in form of melodies and rhythm but also to change the world to the better. Boy, how he could inspire us to be our best selves and to show more love and respect to each other! Yet people choose to blow up lies that threaten to overshadow all of the greatness this man has brought. Enough is enough. Today we speak up for Michael because he deserves better and because he was the best friend we could have ever imagined.
