Same procedure as every year? Not quite. For me, it’s actually the first visit to Victoria, the giant water lily, in the Botanical Garden of Braunschweig. “Victoria cruziana,” as its Latin name goes, is Germany’s largest tropical giant water lily, and therefore a superlative. A new Victoria House was specially built for it in 2018. Perhaps this is partly why

The wet and cold weather this summer drives us indoors. Why not make the best of it? We use the circumstances to expand our regional historical knowledge. As part of the exhibition “Goddesses of Art Nouveau,” the (Monastery) Museum Hinter Aegidien offers a lecture on “Women in the Art Nouveau Sanatorium” Dr. Barner 1900-1914. That sounds interesting.

The novel showcases Sheyda’s birthday on April 1, 1979, the same day the Islamic Republic of Iran was
The ordinary people are back in Brunswieck. It’s last visit in the Lion City dates back to the year 2017. Those deceptively real-looking figures made of concrete are a great asset. Art in public spaces innervates the city centre. For me the characters are fun. Whether it is the „Sofagruppe“ on the Altstadtmarkt, or the „Tafel“ on the Schlossvorplatz. Sometimes

The “Wonder of Lengede” instantly reminds me on the namesake mine disaster on 1963 and the wondrously rescue of eleven pitmen after fourteen days. But there is more to the place. Upon hiking in that area there is potential to find more. However Lengede’s background of mining is definitely a topic here. Admittedly if it had not been for a
