Admittedly, even though I am a small-town-girl myself, I’d rather made strange when moving to Brunswieck and I still do – sometimes. After stops in Hamburg, Cairo, Amman, Istanbul and Stuttgart I witnessed a cultural ramp-down in late autumn 2006: Brunswieck. I beg all Brunswieck-Fans pardon for this. I know that the city has its assets: I can go by
In the face of the advanced discussion about industry 4.0 and the application of artificial intelligence (AI), the discourse on the implementation of a basic income guarantee (BIG) might have never been more newsworthy than now. Eva Douma addressed this subject in her book “Sicheres Grundeinkommen für alle” and tries to clarify whether BIG is just wishful thinking or a
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. On rare occasions I have read through a non-fiction book so quickly and with such enthusiasm. It
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
