Caramello on Hufelandstrasse in Prenzlauer Berg serves the most amazingly tasty pizza by the slice with a thin and slightly crisp base. Soon after I arrived in Berlin I decided that one way to see the city and perhaps a few surprises was to pick a section of the map and walk the streets in […]
Robi The Dog in Berlin
My first encounter with Robi The Dog’s work was seeing this ‘I Hate Teddy’s’ piece moments after it was put up in the Hof from my A Berlin Hof Spot post. This Hof is a great place to start if you’d like an introduction to the Berlin Street Art scene and is in the heart […]
Soviet War Memorial on Strasse des 17 Juni
The Soviet War Memorial was erected in 1945 in the British Sector of West Berlin to commemorate the Soviet soldiers who fell during the war. In the background on the right hand side of the next photo you can The Reichstag, the German parliament building. A cannon and tank seemingly guard the monument, presumably from […]
Stolpersteine 105 – 106

My first post about Stolpersteine gives more background […]
Purple Heart
The Bird in Berlin

As the restaurant celebrated its 6th Birthday on Saturday I guess it was inevitable that I should want to eat there on Sunday. As […]
ALANIZ – Berlin Street Art
I first became aware of ALANIZ when I saw this great paste-up in the Hof featured in my A Berlin Hof Spot post. As I turned the corner of the stairs my eye was immediately drawn to the colours and of course the Currywurst. I did a little bit of digging on the net in […]
Sanatorium E – Abandoned Tuberculosis Hospital
On Saturday, Digital Cosmonaut and I met again to explore another of Berlin’s abandoned places, often referred to as Sanatorium E. After the success of our trip to Kaserne Krampnitz, which you can see more of in my post and on Digital Cosmonaut, we were determined to see more of Berlin’s derelict buildings before they […]
Stolpersteine 102 – 104
I have updated my Stolpersteine Gallery, which you can find here, with pictures of the Stolpersteine I have seen in the last week. The Stolpersteine I saw this week were laid in memory of: Elsa Guttentag, Kurt Guttentag and Erwin Buchwald (Torstrasse 126); Rolf Brandt, Oskar Kaufmann, Anna Kaufmann, Max Katz, Ilona Salzmann and Bella Niessenbaum (Dieffenbachstrasse 45); Luise […]
