2053

The year **2053** is introduced in Season 2 of Dark.

Winden is in ruins and a ghost town. A wall around the Plant is restricted and designated as the dead zone. The church is in ruins but is filled with wooden crosses after the apocalypse. The few remaining survivors are organized as militia but fighting who? Elisabeth Doppler seems to be in charge of the group and influences them with Sic Mundus rhetoric about a prophecy of the passage opening and everyone going to paradise. Slija is Elisabeth's voice, interpreting her sign language.
