Summer, Sun, Art Time? This Saturday, the Cultural Days in the Western Ring Area are on the schedule. Part of the program is an art salon on Jahnstraße, organized by the Alternative Art Association bskunst. In a group exhibition, watercolors, sculptures, and urban sketching are displayed. The exhibition takes place in an apartment, specifically at Jahnstraße 8a. We enter a
During my last visit to the local city library, a book titled “Elegance: On an Attitude that Enriches Our Interactions” caught my eye. I hesitated for a moment, as I was on my way to the second floor. Simultaneously, I wondered what the author had to say on the subject. A glance at the blurb couldn’t hurt. I don’t know
After a long time, I’m visiting Bad Harzburg again. Alongside what was supposed to be a short hike, a concert at the Bad Harzburg Stud Farm in Bündheim is on the agenda. However, we only catch the closing credits of the musical event. The original 14.9-kilometer tour extends to over 20 kilometers. And the only thing to blame for that
“Is this art or can it go?“ Somehow everyone has heard this (joking) question before. How and when exactly this statement originated is not known. But most often the unintentional destruction of two artworks by the artist Joseph Beuys (1921-1986) is cited as its origin. However, it was news to me until last Saturday that this expression is also associated
The Isenhagen Monastery on the outskirts of Hankensbüttel is one of the six heath monasteries. As we participate in a guided tour on this Sunday, it quickly becomes clear: this will be a tour of a special kind. This is undoubtedly due to the monastery resident who, as she herself says, enjoys provoking. I cannot remember having experienced such an
The idea of the “Open Garden Gate” seems to have spread like wildfire in the Braunschweig region and beyond. Whether in Peine, Gifhorn, or Hildesheim, the idea that citizens open their gardens for visitors is catching on. Unfortunately, in some places, commercial interests have crept in. Until now, only one visit this year had impressed me. But that changed this
In the middle of the Hildesheimer Börde stands a pilgrimage site: the Cross Chapel in Ottbergen. Hildesheim is Catholic. A Way of the Cross, the so-called Linden Allee, leads the “pilgrims” along 14 stations that trace the Passion of Christ. Is it a preparation for the encounter with the Marian Grotto on the right? The construction of the chapel goes
Origin and Family Life are the main themes of the exhibition “Documentary Photography Award Winners of the Wüstenrot Foundation revisited.” Why “revisited”? Well, the artists featured are those who have already been awarded and are now presenting the further development of their original works. Origin and Family Life represent two major and formative themes in everyone’s life. Both aspects shape
“The Missing of Tangier” is Leyden’s second novel. I became aware of the first book, titled “Shadows over Marrakech,” in my trusted library due to its subtitle “A Morocco Crime Story.” As an economist specializing in the Arab world, I dive into anything related to the Middle East or North Africa. While the first crime novel focuses on Lieutenant Karim
It’s crime time in Braunschweig. For the eleventh time, crime veteran Hardy Crüger and his eleven disciples are presenting a collaborative work. This year it is the “Tatort Jödebrunnen” crime thriller. According to the motto, logical, all stories take place around the historic Jödebrunnen and the no less important Kontorhaus. Okay, there aren’t even eleven followers this afternoon. On the
