On this Sunday, I had actually planned to go to the Harz mountains, but Mr. Weselsky didn’t want to go:-( So, my friends from the Harz simply came to me instead. In advance, I naturally wondered what I could offer the two experienced and spoiled hikers with a clear conscience. This consideration led me to Königslutter’s magnificent building, the Imperial
The history of the so-called “Polish Action” can currently be seen as a traveling exhibition in the Braunschweig City Library until February 29, 2024. The frightening thing about the historiography is the references to the current situation in Germany. In a country where, almost 80 years after the Second World War, a movement is planning to repeat cruel processes under
There is an all-rounder at work here. Heinrich Römisch not only presents a number of his numerous works in the “Jewel”. Pictures from. No, he also provides the musical framework with the Blue Moon Trio. Cheers! I call that admirable. Especially since I have no talent for drawing or painting myself. That commands respect from me. During the vernissage, how
The Free Stage Braunschweig, under the direction of Andreas Hartmann, rehearsed the play “The Martyrdom of Piotr O’Hey.” Inspired by the Polish writer and playwright Slawomir Mrozek, the amateur actors performed the play on January 14, 2024, at Brunsviga.

Since September 2023, the Municipal Museum in Braunschweig has been showcasing the exhibition: “Stars Without Glamour.” The exhibition, for the first time in Germany, features portrait photographs by the Braunschweig artist Valeska Heymann, nee Heinemann. Not only are the images interesting, but equally compelling is the life story of this Braunschweig native. Undoubtedly, she too belonged to the “Strong Women
Blue Skies “Blue Skies” is the new apocalyptic novel by the cult author T.C. Boyle. The plot is quite gripping. The book is, on the one hand, a tragicomic family story and, on the other hand, an environmental thriller, from which one hopes that the scenario never comes true. The initially perfect and sheltered life of siblings Cat(herine) and Cooper
Loud engines, rugged men, attractive women, and a lot of emotions – these are the associations that come to mind when I think of car races. Certainly, the history of racing also includes the models of Alfa Romeo. At the Museo Storico in Arese, visitors can immerse themselves in the world of roaring engines. The exhibition spans four floors, taking
Italy is always worth a trip, almost like a law of nature. Initially, our plans were set for Tuscany and Umbria. However, the drive there is simply too long for a week. Over 1400 kilometers would have been a bit much. Spontaneously, we decided on Lombardy and South Tyrol. An attractive hotel deal lured us to Varese. We intended to
Planet or Plastic – that is the question here. The title may be an allegory of “To be or not to be” from the Danish Prince Hamlet, loosely based on Shakespeare’s tragedy.
