Women resisting against dictatorship, suppression and unjustness – it has always been. The courageous suffragetes for example at the beginning of the twentieth century who fight for their rights. Then the brave women during the NS regime resisting against a dictatorship. May it be as political prisoner at the concentration camp Ravensbrück or as heroine of a novel, called Charly
It’s been more than three years ago, still I do remember exactly the day of my coronation as Harzer Wanderkaiserin. I was proud on my 222 stamps that I collected over the years hiking. Especially the fact that I mostly used public transport and often hiked for more than eight hours a day. I also do remember that December 20th,
It could be a resolution for the new year: Get out and hike! Maybe that’s what the rambling club of Lutter am Barenberge was thinking of when they errected the sign with the statement above Nauen. But not only New Year’s Day, also the time between Christmas and New Year’s Eve will be bridged in a sportive way. Finally the
Finally they are back, the Drecksclub of Braunschweig. With the slogan “Once upon a time in the dirt” (in reference to: “once upon a time in the west”) the gang renders the West uncertain. Countrystyle and music determine the two-hour show. And like always time flies when you are having fun. After a long lean period finally an evening without
New York 9/11, the terrorist attacks, the collapse of the twin towers. We will never forget those pictures. Especially as we could not image that something like this is possible. But how about the perspective of the others? What is so special about the subheading: “War in times of peace” that Yadegar Asisi added to the title of his exhibition?
Crete is a worth-while hiking destination. Even November. In the low season the weather is still fine (20-25 degrees), the most beautiful bathing bays are really abondoned and all mountain villages are peaceful and quiet. To me the perfect time to prolongate summer. The Greek island is a real hiking paradise. But be careful: you need good footwear for the
Hiking on Corsica. For a week. With a girl friend and an organized hiking group. I always wanted to visit the fourth biggest island of the Mediterranean Sea. Finally I heard so many positive things about it. We come across an offer on the internet which suits us. The price as well as the programme sounds good. We go to
We are using the long weekend over October 3rd to follow the Weser cycle path from Hannoversch Münden to Nienburg. In four days we cycle 270 kilometres. The weather conditions are fine. Even though rain is forecasted we have more sunshine. However the stages are pretty long and my legs are arching after a while and that’s not the only
Even though it is an object of daily life I knew little so far about the production of glass which takes a great effort. A visit to the LWL Glashütte Gernheim makes the difference. Next to the „show production“ of glass in the nice cone-shaped tower I inform myself about the manufacturing and use of the transparent material in detail.
This year we visited castle Fürstenberg and its factory for the first time. On our bicycle tour along the river Weser we came across the building. And of course we made a stop there to have a good look at the famous porcelain. This saturday, however, we are at the Städtische Museum Braunschweig to learn more about the history of
