This piece of art was probably not as easy to acomplish, as it might first look. Large parts of the roof of this apartment building in Schönhauser Allee / Prenzlauer Berg are painted – and I have no idea, how it was done. Are people really climbing theses roofs to paint them? Or is the […]
A sign of love - Photo: T.Bortels/nuBerlin.com
Sometimes all you need to see is a sign of love – and I guess this is would it could look like: a sign in the middle of the sidewalk, featuring a heart with a little bit of this and a little bit of that. I basically pass this ‘sign of lover’ every day – […]
Sunrise in Oderberger Strasse - Photo: T.Bortels/nuBerlin.com
Getting up early can pay off – especially when it’s a sunny day. It still was quite cold, but the view down Oderberger Strasse is very well worth getting cold hands. And in case you were ever wondering in what direction the Oderberger Strasse is pointing: it pretty much stretches quite accurately in a West-East […]

Walking around Berlin you will often find TV sets, chairs, fridges, sofas etc. on the sidewalks. Some people seem to have no clue what they should do with these objects that they obviously don’t want any more. Sometimes these objects have a note “for free” attached to the object that will soon turn into trash, […]
Some Berlin news from last night: shortly after half past midnight, a 24 year old man entered an apartment in Berlin Prenzlauerberg’s Christburger Strasse. He then called the hotline of the Berlin fire department and claimed he had taken a hostage. The fire department then called the police and went straight to Christburger Strasse. When […]
In Berlin almost every flat object can be a billboard – and almost every round object can be a poster pillar. And ‘everybody‘ thinks, “it’s just me – hanging a single poster on that pillar” then lamp poles and traffic signal poles can easiely become huge round objects that may look like ‘real poster pillars’, […]
