Vegetarian Caviar at the Sunshine Cafe… for Drew.

“Go to the fire station in Kreuzberg and photograph the graffitti mural on the outside … it’s a real laugh, then go to yellow sunshine cafe on wiener strasse (also in kreuzberg) and photograph thomas or the vegan caviar.”

Schonberger ufer 1

Ping-Pong in Tiergarden Park.

“Tiergarten One of the biggest city parks in the world! A huge park right in the middle of the city: its sheer size, when compared to the overall size of Berlin, is impressive. It was meant to be a hunting reserve for the King; it is ideal for picnics, jogging and relaxing. It is also full of beer gardens, and is the site of flea markets and various initiatives. Right in the middle of it, at the crossing of the main streets that go through the park, there’s the Siegessaüle, the Pillar of Victory, which has been made famous by “Wings of Desire”, the film by German Director Wim Wenders. To the North of the Siegessaüle, there’s the beautiful Schloß Bellevue, which is the residence of the President of Germany.”

I am contemplating taking a number of post-grad students to Berlin next March, and although I have already taken some photos it would be useful to add to these. If you have time, may I suggest: A) the new Kanzlerai and Parliamentary Buildings next to the Bundestag(Reichstag) and a photo of that as well (with dome). B) The Lehrterbahnhof between Zoo and Friedrichstrasse Stations (which is taking longer than Wembley Stadium to get built). C) The Gendarmemarkt with Schauspielhaus D) Alexanderplatz in its windy concrete glory E) The HackesherHof with its trendy shops and courtyards (near eponymous station) F) PotsdamerPlatz -90s-style shopping centre + any work being done on nearby Leipziger Strasse (a heap of weeds in 2004 but the Oxford Street of Berlin up to 1945). G) the Palast der Republic(former home of East German Parliament opposite Berliner Dom) probably now being demolished H) if time go down Karl Marx Allee to shoot genuine Stalinist type town planning at Strausberger Platz I) if even more time visit Marzahn Hellersdorf to photo GDR slab blocks or (much pleasanter) Prenzlauerberg (Kathe Kollwitz Platz. Please pick from this list those sites which it is most convenient for you to do- I am certainly not expecting them all. If they can be digital I could possibly include them with your consent in a presentation “selling” Berlin to the students. Many Thanks John Seacome

Breakfast at The Circus.

Monument of the Murdered Jews.

“Go to the Brandenburg Gate and see what’s left of the wall. Go for a walk towards the Parliament Buildings and you will see a unique cemetery - several headstones who were victims of the holocast.”
