Prater Construction SIte

Prater Berlin Prenzlauer Berg

Construction work has been going on at the Prater on Kastanienallee in Prenzlauer Berg for years. And for years, it felt like things weren’t really progressing. But now the construction work seems to be coming to an end – at least that’s my impression when I occasionally take a look at the building site. I can’t say whether this corresponds to the actual situation. We will see.

Of course, this picture does not really show the beer garden / the Pratergarten, but just the entrance area of the Prater area.

Berlin in January: Siegessäule in Tiergarten

Berlin in January: Siegessäule in Tiergarten

Berlin in mid-January. The days are getting longer again, it’s getting dark later. There are still the last remnants of snow in Tiergarten and Victoria towers atop the Victory Column Siegessäule.

Election posters can be seen on the lampposts – in Berlin, the Bundestag election will be repeated in many constituencies on February 11 due to various technical problems during the 2021 election.

Eberswalder Strasse by Dusk

Eberswalder Strasse Berlin Prenzlauer Berg

View down Eberswalder Strasse towards the Schönhauser Allee crossing on a rather warm-ish December evening. A tram of the metro line M10 is heading west, the tail lights of the evening traffic glow in the semi-darkness. One of the floodlight-towers of the stadium in Friedrich-Ludwig-Jahn-Sportpark can be seen in the background.

Ecke Schönhauser by Night

Berlin Ecke Schönhauser by Night

The intersection of Schönhauser Allee – Pappelallee, Kastanienallee, Danziger Straße, Eberswalder Straße at night. Everything is slightly moistened by the autumnal drizzle – the intersection shines in the autumnal evening light. A subway train of the line U2 line passes by, a car is out of focus in the evening light – a cyclist in the autumn drizzle.
