Michael Jackson flew to Hamburg, Germany, on Thursday with his children, nannies and security.

He’s staying at the home of Wolfgang Schleiter, an executive of Sony BMG Music. Jackson has long been obsessed with Schleiter’s children, particularly his son Anton, who used to dress like Jackson. Anton is now about 20 years old. Jackson wrote a song on his “Invincible” album called “Speechless” about the Schleiter children.

Now pictures have turned up on the Radio Hamburg Web site of the modest Schleiter home, including one of Mrs. Schleiter taking out the garbage. Wolfgang Schleiter may not live in the house anymore, as sources have told me the couple is now separated.

Even that news is interesting. Two years ago, when Jackson was first accused of child molestation, I asked Wolfgang Schleiter if he would defend Jackson. He declined.

Jackson’s typical situation with surrogate families is to divide and conquer. In time, the father is usually usurped by Jackson, who showers the family with gifts. At Christmas, Jackson flew the Schleiters to Bahrain and did just that.

According to the Radio Hamburg Web site, Jackson flew to Hamburg on a commercial Lufthansa flight from Bahrain via Frankfurt.
