Modern tales: Between villains, dominance and pain

Modern tales: Between villains, dominance and pain

The BBK Kunsthaus currently shows the exhibition “Modern Fairy tales”, i.e. classic pieces of art newly interpreted by Friedhelm Kranz. The show is not fantasy but magical. The way Kranz displays his acts is extraordinary. Works and art forms of other artists are copied and manipulated. And maybe they are also, that’s my thought, newly interpreted. For that the works

The colourful fishes of Stralsund

Stralsund is the pearl on the doorstep of Rügen. With its historical centre, the well preserved city wall and the ocean museum Ozeaneum the Hanseatic city is really attractive. Even though the weather is quite rainy and windy today, we still enjoyed the guided city tour. A visit to the ocean museum might be a must. However my recommendation is

Of Baroque, stud work and the Weser cycle path

The first bicycle tour of the year is always something special. There is the spring-like breezing in our face on the one hand. On the other hand we enjoy the early bloomer and the delicate green around us. The feeling of freedom, the first warm sun beams on our face and just to enjoy life as it is: flowing like

Between Himmelsthür and Giesener Teiche

I like Hildesheim and its environment consistently better. I have been to this area several times during Corona. For example, I visited the Hildesheimer Wald and the beautiful Tosmarkamm. This time we are about to walk along the river „Innerste“ and the Giesener Teiche. We are especially surprised by the landscape around the nature reserve „Giesener Teiche“. Between the grassy
