The German Communist Party has assembled in full force

You know it's gonna be a good day when a new Marteria Album drops 🫡

Und wenn doch Wohnung gebaut werden dann ist es so ein Investoren scheiß -> "Größtenteils sollen aber Mikroapartments entstehen – zu Mieten von 15 bis 20 Euro pro Quadratmeter."

Berlik braucht keine Wohnungen sondern Hotels 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Interesting discussion with Robert Habeck on the topic of decarbonization 👌🏻

Here's the corresponding monument in Dresden

Spotted this fantastic - yet quite run down - 1970s East German bus stop shelter in Cottbus the other day. Believe it or not, it's still in active use. It would look lovely with a good clean and fresh coat of paint.

RE:Hungarian elections Very happy to see that Orbán was finally "ousted" - Yet don't be fooled by the outcome. Magyar and his Tisza are no liberal/left leaning party. And the far right Mi Hazánk also managed to retain its seats in parliament.

The boy excitedly asked me if I voted today after he came back from the embassy with his mother. Thankfully/sadly I can't - but I hope enough people did the right thing today.

There are worse ways to spend a Sunday afternoon 👌🏻

Gestern zum ersten Mal in Hoyerswerda gewesen. Bisher nur negative Assoziationen mit der Stadt gehabt. Die Gruppe Neonazis die sich am Lausitzer Platz zugetrunken hat hilft dem wenig entgegenzusetzen.

Spent the day yesterday touring the Lausitz Region in eastern Germany.

Paris? No. Cottbus!

Spremberg - Perle der Lausitz

It would be lovely if ICEs would stop at Alexanderplatz

Between two ICEs

Can you believe that smoking in German trains was only banned in 2007?

Things I wish would be banned in Germany: 1) smoking in public parks, zoos, train platforms 2) Door salesmen selling gas/electric/internet contracts

MFW Orban wins yet another election on Sunday #O1G

I worked for a Spanish company for several years, worked with spanish colleagues, been to Spain etc. I was not prepared for this.

If you think Germany* has a racism problem - wait until you hear how openly/casually racist Spaniards are towards Mexicans, South Americans and Filipinos 👀 (*this in no way excuses or diminishes racism in Germany)

Diesen September sind in Berlin Wahlen. Weg damit ✊🏻

Some might be familiar with Schweinfurt, as it featured in the series "Masters of the Air". The city was the target of 22 air raids due to it being a major ball bearing manufacturer (and still is today). At the end of the war, around 40% of the city and 80% of the industrial zone was destroyed.

Some more photos from the family archives. This time with a newspaper clipping about the allied bombing raid from the 9th of October, 1944. My great grandfather had a radio and camera shop, and took/developed these highly sensitive photos.

Rest in Power ✊🏻

A remnant from a different era. Sadly, someone felt it necessary to vanadlise it a few years ago.

Went through some family photos on the weekend and came across this interesting set

Very chuffed with this photo - primarily because this vantage point is exceptionally rare to get to (unless you are using a drone)

Happy Easter

Visited Eisenhüttenstadt yesterday and had a chance to look at the very well curated exhibition about the contradictions of the “international solidarity” in the GDR.

The socialist classicist city hall of Eisenhüttenstadt. Built in 1953 when the city was still known as Stalinstadt - it was meant to be one of several monumental buildings in the city, though it was the only one ever completed.

The kids are off to visit their grandparents in Hungary today. As much as they enjoy it - my stomach is always in knots. There's probably a good reason why their mother only uses their German passports when they travel there.

One ist the loneliest number #ilford #hp5

Spent a lot of time in Zehlendorf this week - what a weird slice of (West) Berlin. Super pretty and chill, but so very different from our Kiez in the far east. Also not a huge fan of the yuppies and "expats" there...

Things I find in the washing machine filter. Didn't realize I was raising victorian street urchins.

Mirror Mirror on the wall

Tbh - Italian fans got lucky with not qualifying yesterday. At least they don't have to find excuses to support this years bullshit world cup.

Not gonna lie - this is arguably one of the nicest rolls of film I've developed recently. 38 panoramic shots on one roll of film 😘

Cameras that leave the film lead like this after rewinding 🙏🏻

One of those rare moments traveling on a completely empty G Series Ubahn ♥️

Had a lovely breakfast with the daughter this morning - and enjoyed the stunning view #berlin

American troops in Germany continue to win over the hearts and minds of the local population 👍🏻 www.stern.de/gesellschaft...

It not even election season in Poland yet and Germany still lives rent free in their heads 🤮

love me some industrial lighting
