Berlin is a city with many faces and stories. You can go from one district to another and experience a whole different world. There are many people with diverse ideas and visions about life and art and all these influences form this place day after day into something new and exciting. And still you can find a lot of traces and remains of the past, appealing or unpleasant.

I want to introduce you to the diverse facets and give you an inside look into everyday life which perhaps is not too easy for visitors that stay for just a holiday. Perhaps you have visited Berlin yourself or you plan to do so or you wish to remember or complete the things you’ve seen during a journey past. Or maybe you are just interested in the places you’ve already been to or dream of.
So please feel free to comment and ask questions. Perhaps there is something you have a particular interest in. There might be questions about what it means to be a Berliner or what it means to be German. You might be interested in history or in the questions how we deal with conceptions of urban planning, infrastructure, social infrastructure or just living and working or having barbecues on the week-ends in a public park.
