Honestly, there are two sorts of weekends a person can have. One: the kind of weekend where you have stuff to do, dates to arrange, people to meet, partys to attend. Two: the kind of weekend where really nothing is planned out and everything goes. Although the latter isn’t quite as common in the Winter (at
Berlin surely might be short on many things — public parks are definitely not among them. From vast Tempelhof to our makeshift home in the summer Görlitzer Park, there’s enough green for everyone to get around. And: there’s another one to add to the list, the Gleisdreieck Park. I’d never been there before as it only opened
Walking through the streets of Berlin is always an intense experience. If you open your eyes you can read the whole city and see its citizens communicate with each other. You will recognize the hip scenic neighborhoods from the dense of graffiti and streetart and you can dive into an universe of colorfull surprises around
Rough Berlin Street Communication. Fickt Eusch Allee.
Whenever I’m passing the corner of Hohenstaufenplatz in Kreuzkölln I am always very amused about these Pro Chillers that are hanging out there all year long. Do you know any other spots in Berlin that look this professional?
The little street market on Maybachufer in Kreuzberg (Neukölln? Whatever) is somewhat of an institution around the Kiez. Every Tuesday and Friday, the little stands come to life to bring the visitors a variety of fresh produce, an assortment of textile and some other stuff. It’s perfect for buying your weekly vegetables! The market is always
A couple of weeks ago Martin invited us on one of his new tours. On his beautiful bikes (whenever we get the chance, we leave our own bikes at home and borrow one of his’ — they’re just too precious), Martin guided us through Kreuzberg and Friedrichshain on his newly added “Street Art Tour”. Truth be told:
The Markthalle 9 in Kreuzberg has been empty for a couple of years now. You could find a supermarket and a drug store in it; nothing of the market spirit was left to find in the building. Last year, Marcus even shot a video of the almost empty space. But in 2009 a few people got together and decided they would
If you’ve ever strolled down Oranienstraße in Kreuzberg this summer, you’ll probably have passed the KJOSK location at the corner of Manteuffelstraße. It’s quite interesting on first sight: an old public BVG bus, has been transformed into a colorful Späti on once fallow ground. Although it is more than just a Kiosk. It’s a hangout, really, in a beautiful
Okay, have you all taken a step back to wonder what the hell is going on with the weather? The last couple of days must have been the most beautiful of the whole year. We should definitely fix our season calendar for the upcoming months: Spring, Summer, Fall, Summer, Fall, Winter. Spontaneous and dizzy from the
We met Klaus Poporeit on Oranienstrasse / Kreuzberg last weekend.
What is it like to step inside Görlitzer Park for the first time? Say, for someone who’s from abroad, never been to Berlin before, much less to Kreuzberg. Wouldn’t they think this world has come to an end with all its bizarre craziness? There’s a park, right. With designated bottle deposit racks (though a new thing and
