September auf. • Foto: KEN • hochgeladen von Karen Noetzel Da staunt selbst Beate Ernst. Eine solche „Kreativität“ von Schmutznken ist der pensionierten Gymnasiallehrerin und ehrenamtlichen Vorstandsvorsitzenden von „Wir Berlin“ noch nicht begegnet. Sie hat das böse Beispiel im Bild festgehalten: https://www.berliner-woche.de/c-leute/beate-ernst-und-ihr-einsatz-fuer-eine-saubere-stadt_a227290#gallery=null 1/8 10.2.2020 Nichts ist umsonst: Beate Ernst und ihr Einsatz für eine saubere Stadt Müllsünder haben neben einer beschmierten Parkbank Bieraschen über Äste eines Baumes gestülpt. Trotzdem lässt so etwas Beate Ernst nicht an ihrer Mission zweifeln, die sie mit anderen Mitstreitern vorantreibt: Dass Menschen in der Stadt mehr Verantwortung für die öentlichen Grünanlagen, den Spielplatz – kurz: für den Kiez – übernehmen und mithelfen, Berlin noch lebens- und liebenswerter zu machen. Ihr Verein „Wir Berlin“ organisiert Kampagnen, Veranstaltungen, Platzinitiativen – und den alljährlichen stadtweiten Putzaktionstag. Seit zehn Jahren ist Beate Ernst, die in Neukölln, wie sie sagt, „mit Leidenschaft“ Politik und Mathematik unterrichtet hat, für ein besseres Erscheinungsbild der Stadt unterwegs. Nach ihrer Pensionierung habe es sie schon bald „gekribbelt“, erzählt Ernst. Ohne Engagement zu leben: Das ging nicht. Sie beteiligte sich an der Bürgerplattform Stadtgespräch Berlin“. Dort wurde über die Stadt der Zukunft diskutiert – und die Frage erörtert, wie gastfreundlich Berlin ist.

  • An Oral History of Berlin Minimal Techno
    Menu Search Red Bull Music Academy Daily An Oral History of Berlin Minimal Techno A look back at the stripped-down subgenre that defined the German capital from 1998-2008 September 7, 2018 By Joshua Glazer In 1998, the rave scene that gripped Germany after reunification was at its apex. What had started in the literal underground spaces of post-GDR Berlin after the fall of the Wall had gone mainstream, with millions of young people celebrating the colorful culture of electronic dance music all across the country. But the techno utopia envisioned by many as the new millenium approached was already starting to come undone. The trend was swiftly co-opted – ironically, by some of the same capitalist forces that had defeated the communist system a decade earlier. The bubble soon burst, and many of those truly dedicated to the music were forced to rebuild. The result was something that was the opposite of rave’s over-the- top excess, a movement that idealized a minimalist aesthetic in sound, visuals and fashion. It was a lifestyle that resisted the unbridled exuberance of rave in favor of something more sustainable – and sustain it did, with tracks that filled whole sides of vinyl and parties that went on for days at a time. Berlin became the center for this new creative community, drawing in techno practitioners and aficionados from around the world who came for the party and stayed for the ease of living made possible by cheap rents and easy access to artist visas. “Minimal” became the buzzword around this scene, and while overindulgences were aplenty in freewheeling afterhours, the “arm, aber sexy” (poor but sexy) slogan coined by then-mayor Klaus Wowereit could not have been a more accurate appraisal of Berlin’s appeal.

  • Berlin - Wikipedia
    Berlin - Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berlin Coordinates: 52°30′26″N 13°8′45″E Berlin From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Berlin (/bɜːrˈlɪn, ˌbɜːr-/, German: [bɛɐ̯ˈliːn]) is the capital and the largest city of Germany as well as one of its 16 Berlin constituent states, Berlin-Brandenburg. With a State of Germany population of approximately 3.7 million,[4] Berlin is the most populous city proper in the European Union and the sixth most populous urban area in the European Union.[5] Located in northeastern Germany on the banks of the rivers Spree and Havel, it is the centre of the Berlin- Brandenburg Metropolitan Region, which has roughly 6 million residents from more than 180 nations[6][7][8][9], making it the sixth most populous urban area in the European Union.[5] Due to its location in the European Plain, Berlin is influenced by a temperate seasonal climate. Around one- third of the city's area is composed of forests, parks, gardens, rivers, canals and lakes.[10] First documented in the 13th century and situated at the crossing of two important historic trade routes,[11] Berlin became the capital of the Margraviate of Brandenburg (1417–1701), the Kingdom of Prussia (1701–1918), the German Empire (1871–1918), the Weimar Republic (1919–1933) and the Third Reich (1933–1945).[12] Berlin in the 1920s was the third largest municipality in the world.[13] After World War II and its subsequent occupation by the victorious countries, the city was divided; East Berlin was declared capital of East Germany, while West Berlin became a de facto West German exclave, surrounded by the Berlin Wall [14] (1961–1989) and East German territory.

Mélanie Budapest Lánchíd – The Chain Bridge The postcard in your hand is the first image of the city. Many never get any further than that: Budapest = The Chain Bridge. Of course, that which has become a cliché was once important. The Chain Bridge was the first bridge that connected the venerable, aristocratic, sedate and historical, hilly and green Buda with Pest. A new city built on flat grounds that was loud and boasted exciting artistic and bohemian influences. On this bridge Dorothee has found a corner that makes all this disappear, and only the architectural miracle appears, the myriad daubs, and below the ice floes on the Danube. And somewhere the morose morcos Katinka, who doesn’t like being photographed… I was curious to see which colour would dominate in the image, almost praying that it wouldn’t be the cold blue of the Mettmenstetter kitchen. Katinka Berlin “Bonjour tristesse“ – the gentle melancholic welcome to a new day would appear to have been made with the Berlin district Kreuzberg in mind which, though urban, retains a village-like charm.

  • Berlinagenten (Berli- Nagenten.Com)
    BERLIN Non-Stop Party Is there any city more happening than creative, dynamic, eclec- tic Berlin? Even if the boom isn’t what it was five years ago— when everything seemed at full-boil, and everybody wanted to be there—still, the “stigma” of a city on the edge is part of Ber- lin’s essence. Germany’s capital city is 100% movement, just like a great party. Maybe the magic comes from the mix: East and West, tradi- tion and avant-garde. An intriguingly assembled stew of musical, artistic and gastronomic proposals; a trend-originator and well- spring of cultural currents. Yet with zero pretense. Packed with contrasts and the ghost of its infamous past, to- day’s Berlin is a city that fascinates. For visitors there’s always a before and an after—not unlike the before and after that the city itself is undergoing in what must be a second, or even third, ad- olescence. StyleMap is not exhaustive Berlin—you’d need multiple vol- umes and weekly updates for that—and we’ve left the tourist at- tractions for the conventional guides to cover. In contrast, we sim- ply offer an approach, shaped by insider perspectives. Because Berlin is a city that everyone needs a little help getting to know, whether it’s via interaction with locals, experiencing nights off the beaten path, on S-Bahn streetcars or poking into courtyards (re- gardless of how forbidding they may appear). And therein lies the key. You’ve got to go in, turn up the curiosity and let it happen.
