@Wrzlprmft Chirlu is right. Take for example the phrase Wir machen rüber!, which was used in the GDR for people trying to leave the country for the FRG. This contradicts the usual directional distinction of her and hin.

In colloquial speech, hin is dying anyway, being replaced by her irrespective of direction. | |
