37th day: NEVER FORGET: 1933 – 1938 – 1945
In the last years I got off the metro nearly every day at the S – Bahn Station Savigny Platz on my way to work. I was always in a hurry and never paid much attention to the three year data that appear when the metro goes on. 1933 – every german knows this date: the Nazis seized to power. 1945 – the 12 year long nightmare was finally over. What happened exactly on 1938? I had to look up history books to be sure: in 1938 the situation of the jewish population worsened dramatically.
It’s incredible that there a people nowadays that are denying this absolute shaming part of our history: HOW CAN WE EVER FORGET?

Tag: 100 days challenge
33rd day: Milk
33rd day: MILK
For a long time I haven’t seen so many pregnant women and mothers with young children as in Copenhagen! Strikingly often there were also fathers, walking with their babies in the parks in the mornings. Matching to this observation I found in Nørrebro, a neibourhood of Copenhagen wich corresponds to Berlin’s Kreuzberg, this happy-looking woman who apparently is breastfeeding her twins .

31. Tag: Räume erschaffen…
31st. day: CREATING SPACES…
I’m really impressed by Copenhagen’s city planning: everything is planned to improve life quality of the citizens. New and old architecture is combined in a brave manner. Cyclist are riding on special bikeways throughout the city, there are beautiful bridges for bikes and in the malls exists bicycle parking garages.Like this even the drizzly weather is not bothering at all. I definitely will return to this extraordinary city!

30th day: The ugly duckling…
30th day: THE UGLY DUCKLING…
sometimes it takes a while before we see true beauty. Often we judge too fast and superficial. That is what the fairy tale by Hans Christian Andersen is about, in which a swan’s egg accidentally gets into the nest of a duck. The swan chick is ugly and clumsy and is buffeted by all, until it turns after winter into a beautiful and proud swan.

29th day: Christiania, a social experiment
29th day: CHRISTIANIA, A SOCIAL EXPERIMENT
In 1971 a few idealists who dreamed of an alternative model of life stablished on a former military base the Free State of Christiania. The residents were hippies, squatters, artists and many people who otherwise did not fit in the society. Christiania should be a place for people who were fed up with the eternal competition of society and believed that another life model should be possible. Many times this social experiment was about to fail, but again and again the residents fought for their dream of freedom and self-determination.
Maybe that’s why the Danes are indeed among the happiest people in the world, because they are capable of such tolerance, accept other lifestyles and even consider them as an enrichment for their society.
