Even though I have not been getting enough sleep recently I started off early on Sunday morning for another hike. The weather was fine again, but fortunately not as hot as the day before. I reached Seesen on time and was welcomed by “my” driver and another hiking mate. It has still been early that gave us enough time to
Last weekend (always on the first Saturday in August) cloister Drübeck offered a “Romantic Night”. I visited it for the first time. A friend called it to our attention. It became a so called girls’ night out. Beforehand she allured us with tiny little details on the show, such as white beds in the garden. However, I choose not have
It is sooo cool what I learn during hiking trips. Even though I could leave my stamp book in the rucksack this time, still there were many things to discover and above all to learn! This time it was about knitting camels, dogmatical companions and a wonderful TV-series script: the german-arabic friendship with a wonderful ending at the “Hexenwerk” (witchcraft).
Philipp Staab’s essay is both: fascinating and frightening at the same time. It is an analysis of the current influence digitalization has on the economy as well as on spheres of life and thus on the world of work for every single person.

It need not always be Spain that is how my story could start. Or: It is not a matter of where you are but with whom you are on the spot. Both is correct. This summer promises to be magic. Not only because the enduring fantastic weather brought a South European flair to Germany. No, it is because I was
Is it possible to discover new things in a surrounding you used to know for years? Yes, it is! Upon bicycle or hiking tours life is full of surprises: once you take a wrong turn by accident you might suddenly bump into something special. Curious? We have been on the road for a while, when I notice the really steep
Allowedly, Wolfsburg is not famous neither for its urban nor scenic beauty. All the more we were surprised when we discovered the local spring hiking trail last Saturday. The suggested walking paths are eligible in a version of 8 km, 10 km or 14 km. The trail can be extended up to 16 km if you add a detour to
At first it is just a red spot on the ground. We are standing in front of the former house of the Kolar family in the Butmir district. Now it is the museum “Tunnel of Hope”. The tunnel that ran underneath the runway of the airport Sarajevo was used as a supply source for the city during its four years
To judge the life and the vita of another person by either admiring or demonising this person seems to be a human characteristic, especially if it is a question of a delinquent with an “intensive” career such as the one of Yehya E. A stateless Palestinian who fled at the age of four month with his parents from a Lebanese
A reflexion on the debate on “artificial intelligence”: boon or bane? The silent death of common sense seems to no longer a myth – thanks to artificial intelligence. It is hard to say though, when exactly the major offensive on the brains started. For the sake of convenience I revert to my awaken use of new technology. By that I
