Berlin ist groß, riesig groß. Kein Mensch wird jemals fertig mit dieser Stadt. Aber es lohnt sich, sie immer wieder neu zu entdecken! Dieses Buch zeigt den Weg zu 111 unbekannten, skurrilen und spannenden Orten: Wie kommt man auf den Geisterbahnhof in Siemensstadt? Welchen Whiskey hat David Bowie in seiner Stammkneipe getrunken? Was kostet eine Übernachtung im Prinzessinnenzimmer in einer Marzahner Platte? Und wo konnte man in West-Berlin Bauern bei der Ernte zugucken? In diesen 111 Fundstücken wohnen Bilder, Geschichten und ganz eigene Stimmungen. So zeigt sich Berlin dem neugierigen Entdecker - abseits der bekannten Pfade.
About the author
Lucia Jay von Seldeneck was born in Berlin in 1977 and grew up there. She experienced the fall of the Wall, got used to the incessant changes in the city – and believes that Berlin has still not arrived at its goal. She studied public relations and Latin American studies in Berlin and Valencia, and works as a freelance journalist today. She is fascinated by the people, places and ideas that continually reinvent the city.Verena Eidel is a freelance photographer and graphic artist. She has always been fascinated by the idiosyncratic charm of the city where she was born: following the fall of the Wall, Berlin redefined itself completely at a breathless pace as a city outside the mainstream. As so often before. A city in permanent flux – which is why, even as a dyed-in-the-wool Berliner, Verena Eidel never tires of making journeys of exploration there.Carolin Huder, born in Erlangen in 1968, moved to Berlin at the age of seven and later studied geography there. She worked in a public relations office where she discovered her interested in Berlin’s artists, managing the singer Max Raabe and the Baseballs, among others. Since 2009 she has been managing director of the theatre Heimathafen Neukölln.
