re-launch: glashaut music mixes

re-launch: glashaut music mixes - february.

i haven't been posting these mixes for quite some time even though i still created them every month. i recently decided to get some time off of my tumblr account ( where i posted them regularly ) and now that this platform is crossed out for a while i decided to revive it on this little blog again. i also do want to make a change on here and posting more often. let's see how i will keep that promise, though. i think there won't be too much of a change though, the content will probably stay the same, my own personal diary. maybe i will spice it up with a monthly link carousel, like i did in my very early years of blogging on here. and of course, i want to post my music mixes again. and here is the latest one from february.

glashaut music mix: feb. '15 - i just don't know what to do with myself. from glashaut. on 8tracks Radio.

february - the month of waiting. waiting for winter to be over, waiting for the first blossoms to bloom, waiting for the hibernation to end. you don't know what to do with yourself but getting yourself lost in your own mind, and it's never too good to get lost in a brain that fears too much. as soon as the first sunrays start to shine, you get out to catch them, to let them brighten your heart and mind, to scare the monsters away. hope is high that maybe this time you will scare them for good.

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 ...

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 ...
