THE JOURNEY
ERNST THALMANN, WHO IS THIS MAN?
Ernst Thälmann’s larger than life head reflects a larger than life past. Some of it real, some imagined.
FOREST BATHING, Berlin Style
This week we went to Grunewald Forest to spend time walking in nature, observing our surroundings and bring you this virtual forest bath.
MONUMENTS
“While statues bring beauty, inspiration or provocation; the job of a monument is to help us remember. I think it is important for future generations to remember the atrocities we have committed.”
AUTUMN FORAGE AT SPANDAUER FORST
“Wir waren entschlossen die Arbeit am Computer zu unterbrechen und machten uns auf, in die geheimnisvolle Welt der Pilze. Pilze erinnern mich immer an meinen strengen Vater. Wir trugen harte Kämpfe miteinander aus, aber diese Waldspaziergänge hatten etwas Erhabenes, etwas Versöhnliches.”
POETRY IN FLIGHT AT TEMPELHOFER FELD
“Elzas Worte mischten sich mit dem Wind und zogen Kreise, bevor sie sich einfangen liessen.”
JOY OF BENCHES
“Tourists love the café culture in Paris and cities in France. But those sidewalks full of tables mean there often is no space for a public bench.”
