THE ESSENTIAL
November 9 is a remarkable date in German history with three big events in different younger epochs. And they all happened in Berlin. A good chance to walk through three epochs of history on that symbolic day:
Have a great day at historic memorials in Berlin or start a good read.

New Schulz Hotel will open on September 13 2018. At its soft launch on August 30 with over 200 local pupils and guests I was given the chance for a first insight. What I liked:
There was nothing I really disliked; just some smaller topics of improvement. The official opening is still some days ahead. For whom Schulz Hotel is a real good choice:
Welcome2Berlin, dear Schulz Hotel. Thanks for a pre-insight and good luck. Website: https://www.schulzhotels.com Status Aug. 29: The division of Berlin already restarted before the project was building the wall. This time the division is not East and West, it is pro and con the idea of DAU film project to rebuild the wall in the center of Berlin at a different place as an add-on to this wide-ranging project. It is still unclear whether Berlin adminstration will give a go for that. But the main target to achieve awareness for the project is already achieved.
An arcticle from DW.com goes into details. Personal opinion: This funny-bunny filmmaker seems to have no idea what the real wall was. It was not only a wall, it was a landscape stripe of death from a regime which gave the order to shoot the own people reaching for personal freedom. The exhibition "ninetiesBerlin" shows a very illustrative room listing the names of the shot people and showing dozens of machine guns. See review here. In German "DAU" is an abbreviation for "Dümmster anzunehmender User" (most silly user). Update Sept 28: The district administration decided against the project - even in a smaller version. Reason: The evaluation time for all security matters was too short because the project was planned close to several security relevant institutions. |
