CLET – Street (Sign) Art
I posted photos of a couple of the CLET street sign interventions I have seen in Berlin recently on my Facebook page and they were well received so I thought I’d write a post about the artist. CLET (Clet Abraham) is based in Florence but comes originally from Brittany. He is most well known for […]
Tempelhof Airport
A tour of the disused Tempelhof Airport in Berlin offers a fascinating insight into the city’s history, an example of public space being put to good use, if only temporarily, and leaves unanswered questions about the area’s future. During Berlin Fashion Week I was lucky enough to get the chance to go to the Bread […]
Stolpersteine 113
I saw just the one set of Stolpersteine this week, which were laid in memory of Thea Fuss, Abraham Fuss and Ruth Fuss (Fehrbelliner Strasse 81). The photo has now been added to my gallery of all the Stolpersteine I’ve seen in Berlin, which you can view here. You can also read more about the background to these […]
Cenacolo

The memorial in Treptower Park is the largest of the three main Soviet war memorials in Berlin – the other two are on Strasse des 17 Juni and in Schönholzer Heide. When I got my first […]

I have added the photos of the Stolpersteine I have seen over the past week to the photo gallery here. This week’s Stolpersteine were memorials were dedicated: Julie Baer (Lausitzer Platz 12A); Charlotte Kohlmann (Skalitzer Strasse 81). My first post about Stolpersteine gives more background about these memorials to the victims of National Socialism created by artist […]
Mogg – Deli in the former Jewish Girls School
My first impressions when I walked into Berlin’s Mogg & Melzer* were that the room (and it is just a small space) had a stylish clean décor and that it smelt great. *The partnership between Paul Mogg and Oskar Melzer has subsequently been dissolved and the restaurant is now known as Mogg. I first found […]
