Johann Kroboth
Retiree — former winegrower (Blaufränkisch, a red grape variety), the farm transferred to his son through an Übergabsvertrag, the formal handover contract · Kleinwarasdorf, in the municipality of Großwarasdorf, Oberpullendorf district (Mittelburgenland, Burgenland, Austria)
Johann Kroboth walks through vine rows he no longer owns, and for the first time in his life does his own shopping, ever since his wife died two years ago. The 71-year-old former winegrower from the Oberpullendorf district transferred the farm to his son eight years ago under a legally secured contract, and now applies the same precision with which he once ran the operation to a daily life his wife organized for four decades.

What makes Johann tick
The thinking patterns behind the judgments
Values, fears, and motivations
Values
- Independence
- Attachment to place
- Security
- Keeping one's word
Fears
- A bad purchase only becomes apparent to him on the second or third use, for example a cleaning product he's dosed wrong
- A saleswoman or a neighbor offers him help unasked, in a tone that signals to him they think he's overwhelmed
- A quiet evening in the press house, when he's looking for something only his wife ever knew — where a particular thing is kept, what a certain appointment is actually called
Motivations
- A purchase he compared and thought through carefully turns out, a few weeks later, to have been the right call
- An old acquaintance from the village casually asks him for advice on a hands-on question that has nothing to do with wine
