concerts.

in late august i met up with n. on our best festival in wiesbaden: folklore. we initially wanted to meet up earlier for seeing more bands but it was rainy and so we just went to see sdp - a german duo making hip hop/ pop music. they're what i call a 'fun music' band. nothing too deep, but with a few sharp edges. and you can't do anything but dance and jump with them. they're sweeping, haha.

one of the rooms of the schlachthof - THE alternative venue of wiesbaden's youth and young people.

well, i'm not a frequent guest of this club, unfortunately. going alone scares me too much and since none of my friends in wiesbaden have similar music taste i rarely come around here. plus... i never really have the time to attend concerts. maybe i should make it a goal to check out the concert program and maybe going to more of the schlachthof concerts in future. otherwise i'll be missing out good bands or artists again and again.

like when i realized that i missed bright eyes in wiesbaden. this was a real bummer and i wanted to cry a little. especially because the schlachthof is only 15 minutes away from my flat.

me & n. isn't she the cutest?

this guy was a beatboxer. did some crazy surrealistic beatboxing.

the drum set of sdp.

one of the bass/guitar players. i stared at him a lot. like i'm a total creep.

november: kickelhahn, himmelblau & weimar cemetery.

i had a week off in november and visited my parents ( as i often do on my vacations ). on a sunday morning we headed to the thuringian forest to climb onto the peak of the kickelhahn mountain. the kickelhahn mountain is the landmark mountain of the city of ilmenau . johann wolfgang von goethe , the famous writer & philosopher, often visited ilmenau and also climbed the kickelhahn. oftentimes he stopped at a little hut in the woods to relax for a while and on one of these stops he wrote one of his most known poems.  our little adventure didn't last the whole day, though, as we had a little date with the weimar cemetery to look after the grave of my grandparents and then to visit my cousin and his family. tiny peek onto the kickelhahn tower. thuringian woods - deep dark green. at the goethe hut. this plate shows the german version of the poem goethe wrote here. inside the hut. and here's the english translation. i love this poem so much, as ...

in the forests.

it's that time of the year again.

july '20: lake petersdorf discoveries and a plea against genocide.

the green wild meadows of malchow's sandfeld. in the west of malchow there is a big chunk of forest that spans towards plauer see, a widely 'uncultivated' area these days, but it hasn't always been this way. in my last post i mentioned the nazi munition factory that had been built in these woods, away from prying eyes of their enemies and where they also built an external subcamp for the concentration camp ravensbrück. exactly these woods we explored on a pretty sunny day, betraying the darkness that happened around these parts. isn't it weird that there are places in this world that were built or used by dark forces and horrible regimes and you vist them 80 years later and they are the most peaceful places you can imagine? sometimes my brain can't cope with the contrast of knowing what was in the past and what the present looks and feels like. it definitely leaves me with a strange impression often, kind of like a little sting in my heart and brain that is not ...
