Arriving in Schönefeld you take the S-Bahn directly to Lichtenberg, Storkowerstraße. Usually you do. If the S-Bahn doesn’t work they come up with Schienenersatz-Verkehr, an Ersatz-bus. Ersatz as you all know from Freud signifies compensatory. This is how the compensatory station looks like: 27,4% Reichsbahn pre-1945, 27,4% [more]

28.10., Monday evening just before 9.30pm: A 76-year-old noticed nearby the Lichtenberg S-Bahn station, that he was followed by two men. In a side street they beat him to the ground. However, the two robbers had not reckoned with attentive passersby. Both robbers, aged 23 and 24 years [more]
“A book is a mirror: If an ass peers into it, you can’t expect an apostle to look out” Georg Christoph Lichtenberg
Lichtenberg shows solidarity with the Oct 26th Driving Campaign “If you look at any Muslim society and you make a scale of how developed they are, and how successful the economy is, it’s a straight line. It depends on how much they emancipate their women.” Christopher [more]
Music of Germany’s migrant workers revived in new compilations.

S-Bahn Landsberger Allee and the back of the Velodrom, the indoor cycling arena. This is Pankow on the border to Lichtenberg. Next to it is a swimming pool, both built in 1996 by Dominique Perrault in the course of Berlin’s application for the 2000 Summer Olympics.
‘Lberg’, Sam wrote today. Like Joburg, Lberg. Cool. Berlin is the partner city of Los Angeles, Anne mentioned lately. And Lberg has a partnership with some district in Maputo. Wow, how cool is that? Sam also wrote: ‘We’ve got some work to do that involves my star and [more]
not the display. Only two days after predicted the M8 is back. After Rosa-Luxemburg-Platz there is still Schienenersatzverkehr, a bus stuck on Torstraße. Whatsoever, the M8 is back.
Anton-Saefkow-Platz #3 The Pakistani vendors don’t like to be photographed. The Vietnamese don’t care. The whole area is somewhat paranoid, isolated, afraid of bills, of officials, afraid of people at the door.
General Idea’s Test Pattern: T.V. Dinner Plates from the Miss General Idea, 40×30.2cm, 1988 General Idea The Standards Fibre-based badge 1988 – 1991
Located on the other side of Berlin, like a 45 minutes drive away, lies an area called ‘Charlottenburg.’ Everything seems different there. Different than Lichtenberg. Charlottenburg is also a term, an expression, if you want to label something posh, not Munich posh, not Milan, it’s more the old [more]

In this shopping mall at Landsberger Allee is a Japanese restaurant on the first floor. It was closed but it looks very nice.
The Libero on Karl Lade Straße is actually not really a restaurant. They are not allowed to sell food: “We are a smoker’s bar.” But they have Sky. And Sky shows football. Quite a lot of Bayern fans.
Next to the Towers and the Asian centre on Herzbergstraße opened a Pakistani diner ––no name yet–– in three containers. From Monday on the diner will be open from 6 in the morning (breakfast) until 10 at night. Today was the opening, very nice. A lot of well-dressed [more]
The Sonla Bistro at Storkower Bogen. Around two in the afternoon the place is empty. The fountain is pretty loud, decent Chinese music––or Thai? Five Asian employees sit next to the bar and have lunch. They are all pretty young. In their mid-twenties. Chinese and Thai dishes. No [more]
Next to the old Carl-von-Linné–Schule ist the new Carl-von-Linné–Schule. Almost the same building. Not far from the Carl-von-Linné–Schule is another abandoned school on Paul Junius Straße:
Impressionen / Impressions Klaus-Lutz Gaedicke – DDR / GDR Sandstein / Sandstone, 1987
Around Anton-Saefkow-Platz they had a party yesterday. A municipal get-together, which had this 1960s Eastern atmosphere to it. Nevertheless two guys with sunglasses performed classic rock ‘n’ roll: “This was the big hit here in the Federal Republic in 1957,” one of the guys said standing in front [more]
Another sandstone sculpture around the corner. We thought it would be the same artist as yesterday’s piece. Wrong. It’s by S. Krepp and one year older, from 1986. It is called: “German resistance against fascism”

Here in Lichtenberg the money is on the road. And meat. And you find huge insects. In the dense forests. (here: Fennpfuhl).

In yesterday’s pick we announced to open the REWE stickers: REWE calls the stickers Wunderwelt (Wonderworld). There is also a REWE Bio World and die Feine Welt, a sub-brand which offers Himalayan salt and Spanish olives. Welt an sich. A Heideggerian Welt-thing at REWE? Wonderworld. It’s like the [more]
This pretends the display wouldn’t work. No, no, no, it is the whole tram, which doesn’t work. Until October! It’s much quieter around Fennpfuhl now it does feel like in the countryside. The trams do have Flüsterschienen (whispering rails) but the M8 has this long and straight part [more]
They have a huge screen to watch the Champions League. Usually older men sit there all day long. With their summer suits they look like the Central Committee of the SED during vacation. Most of the top level SED personal were very good ping-pong players. Sometimes younger people [more]

“Do not pray for an easy life, pray for the strength to endure a difficult one.” Bruce Lee
Many people would rather not vote in the upcoming elections. Peter Sloterdijk just called it “Lethargokratie”, (Lethargocracy). He will not vote. On the other hand they tell you that you vote for the radicals if you don’t vote. Because these are the people who go voting anyway. And [more]
Without any effort Gesine Lötzsch repeats her list of demands of DIE LINKE, the LEFT. “Our program? One hundred percent social!” Minimum pension, minimum wage, abolish Hartz IV. “Lichtenberg is indeed not an island,” says Lötzsch. She doesn’t even try to go into Lichtenberg’s specifics. At the end [more]
In a tower you not only have a perfect sight you can also be for yourself. That’s why Carl Jung built his own tower at the Zürichsee. Arno Brandlhuber, Sam Chermayeff and Christopher Roth once walked with students from the Wolfgang-Pauli-Institute up on the hill down to Jung’s [more]
Georg Christoph Lichtenberg was the first professor for experimental physics in Germany. He is remembered for his notebooks, which he called Sudelbücher, (scrapbooks) and for his discovery of the strange treelike patterns now called “Lichtenberg figures.” They are branching electric discharges that from time to time appear on [more]
