I decided that a clear, bright day was the ideal time to do a spot of climbing and experience some of Berlin’s best views and I started in the morning with a visit to the Französischer Dom (the French Cathedral) on the Gendarmenmarkt, one of Berlin’s more picturesque squares, and later in the day visited the […]
As I left Barcomi’s Deli, my lunch spot for the day I noticed what I thought was a bookshop across the courtyard and wandered in to have a look around. Gestalten is a bookshop but it’s so much more too. The building I had entered is also a gallery and there was a Mark Jenkins […]
I covered a lot of Prenzlauer Berg and Mitte on foot today so had worked up quite an appetite by lunchtime. Unfortunately, it seemed that I wasn’t the only one. Luckily, I found a spot to sit down at Luigi Zuckermann at the second attempt. On my first pass the place was packed so Plan […]
Lunchtime had been and gone long ago by the time I managed to make up my mind about what I would like to eat. I had been on a mission to track down a DVD for my Friday night entertainment and having visited Das Schloss, I realised that I wasn’t far from Krasselts Imbiss. Unfortunately, […]
The Stolpersteine I saw in Berlin today were tributes to Julius Prager and Rosa Prager outside Strassburger Strasse 33-36 and Ruth Sussmann and Gittel Sussmann outside Christinenstrasse 35. I’ve added the photos to the gallery here. My first post about Stolpersteine gives more background about these memorials to the victims of National Socialism created by artist Gunter […]
Curry 36 is another very popular Imbiss and the sight of my introduction to Currywurst during my first trip to Berlin in 2009. I chose it for my first meal in Berlin because it was in the Lonely Planet Encounters guide I had bought and the idea of a Curry / Sausage combo appealed to […]
It was a bright sunny day when I woke up this morning so I decided to make the most of it and instead of studying German got outside earlier in the morning. First, I walked the streets between Torststrasse, Danziger Strasse, Schönhauser Allee / Kollwitzstrasse and Prenzlauer Allee. And after a trip to Curry 36 […]
Today’s walk around residential streets in Prenzlauer Berg / Pankow yielded a number of Stolpersteine sightings. My first post about Stolpersteine gives more background about these memorials to the victims of National Socialism created by artist Gunter Demnig. Johanna Falk outside Erich-Weinert-Strasse 7. Salomon Paskusz and Roschen Paskusz just a short distance along the road […]
Another day of light rain so another afternoon stroll close to home. This time bordered by Stargarder Strasse, Wisbyer Strasse, Schönhauser Allee and Stahlheimer Strasse. These streets were generally more residential so I took a lot less photos but I did see a meal being delivered by a waiter from a Steak Restaurant to a […]
On my walk around the streets of Prenzlauer Berg today I saw the Stolpersteine laid in memory of Nathan Gutmann and Malcha Gutmann outside Raumerstrasse 21. My first post about Stolpersteine gives more background about these memorials to the victims of National Socialism created by artist Gunter Demnig. I’ve added the photos of the Stolpersteine […]
