I decided last night that my post today would be a photo of this Vhils I spotted on Chausseestrasse last week. When I googled ‘Vhils Chausseestrasse’, in an attempt to be more descriptive about the location, I came across this post about four Vhils murals in Berlin. This by no means falls into the category of […]
The crowd at the fleamarket at the Mauerpark yesterday was a real mix of the optimistic and the pessimistic. Some were wearing hotpants, vests, flip flops and sunglasses. Others were in overcoats, scarves and woolly hats. For those of you that haven’t been there yet, and if you’re in Berlin on a Sunday I urge […]
I have added the photos of the Stolpersteine in Berlin I saw in the last week to the photo gallery here. These Stolpersteine were in memory of: Jeanette Grünberg and Ruth Grünberg (Fehrbelliner Strasse 22); Leo Braun and Selma Braun (Schröderstrasse 2); Dr Martin Happ and Sophie Happ (Chausseestrasse 6). My first post about Stolpersteine gives more background about these […]
On World Water Day, Stadtbad Prenzlauer Berg opened its doors to the public and hosted Pool Around Me, an exhibition by Johanna Keimeyer. As I’ve always wanted to see inside the Stadtbad I made sure to go to this exhibition before the GLS Language school renovates the building. The doors were open in the afternoon […]

At that time I didn’t realise that the building […]
The sun was shining on Berlin yesterday and despite a slight drop in the temperature I still thought it was a perfect day to explore one of Berlin’s many parks. I’ve passed Volkspark Friedrichshain on the tram a number of times and spotted joggers making their way into, around or out of it but yesterday […]
The influence of Soviet-style architecture on DDR-era construction in East Berlin is plain to see on Karl-Marx-Allee, which runs from Alexanderplatz to Frankfurter Tor. Yesterday, I set out from home with no plan other than to make the most of the sun and get a bit of fresh air. I just wandered. And I ended […]
I have added the photos of the Stolpersteine I saw in Berlin in the last week to the gallery here. The Stolpersteine I saw were dedicated to: Ernst Siegfried Holz, Willy Holz, Herbert Leo Holz and Lieselotte Holz (Rochstrasse 1); Dr Julius Blumenthal (Oranienburger Strasse 1); Gottfried Hollander and Lotty Hollander (Oranienburger Strasse 1-3); Philip Kozower, Gisela Kozower, Alice Kozower, […]
