Technology and research on the canal

One of the more spectacular objects that can be seen while travelling on the Landwehrkanal is the Douglas C47 (military version of a DC3) mounted outside the Technik Museum. Together with the single blade of a wind turbine, it gives a taste of the exhibits housed on what had been the station for trains to Anhalt, the Anhalter Bahnhof. The aircraft is one of the many “Rosinenbomber” (raisin…

Don't like that article about Too Sweet because it kind of conflates an actual immernent interpretation of the lyrics with the 'blue curtains' bs of TikTok which is in itself blue curtains bs

“Berlin Angel” by @de-sire-blog 😇

Handbound for personal use only. Keep fanfiction free🙌🏻

“The thing that catches Sirius’ attention even more than his general attitude, is his jacket. It seems to be of some sort of fluffy fleece material and flashing in different, bright colours – one sleeve pink, another light blue, the high collar and chest bright yellow, the lower part lilac. As if a pack of back-to-school highlighters vomited on him. It’s absolutely, outrageously ridiculous and Sirius can’t help a genuine smile.”

This cover is 100% inspired by Remus f*cking Lupin. His jacket, tattoos, and favourite bar🙌🏻

This fic means so much to me. I can yap for hours about it but instead I’ll leave here some quotes that stuck with me:

“Do you always stay away from doing things you want?” … “How is this working out for you, huh?” … “Does it feel like you have more control that way?”

“You and I are not that different. You just lack one thing that I have.”

“And that would be?”

“Honesty,” Remus supplies with a smile. “If you stop lying to yourself, you’ll feel better.”

“This is not you, it’s just an apartment. The place you work at is just that, not you. If you continue associating your identity with your home or your work, it will slowly reduce down to it.”

——

I went to Berlin for a couple of weeks because of this fic and absolutely fell in love with the city😌 It’s so diverse, beautiful and open. Every district has its own identity and it feels like you are travelling between different places while staying in the city borders. Kreuzberg (aka Remus’ district😆) will occupy a special place in my heart forever! It is pure magic✨ Landwehrkanal near Admiralbrücke is my favourite place now! Also Berlin was the first place where I felt that being queer wasn’t a bad thing. It’s like you can be you and everyone is just fine with that. How lovely huh?😅 All in all I loved it there and hope to go back someday😌

P.S. I nicked that coaster I put on the back cover from Die Apotheken Bar🫣 Sorry baaaar😆

Canal calm

Having been a defensive trench outside the city walls, the Landwehrkanal is now in the middle of the bustling city of Berlin. Trees grow along most of its banks and there are parks or playgrounds on one side or another. Any fan of weeping willows will be well rewarded by a boat trip along here. There are also plenty of animals. We only saw the birds, however, the frequency with which we saw…

The Spree - Music of the Living Landscape of Berlin by Georgios Dalakouras

The Spree River, flowing through Berlin, is a living landscape shaped by the city's history and culture. This essay, inspired by Wilson Harris's 'The Music of Living Landscapes,' explores the social and cultural significance of the Spree, particularly at Maybachufer, viewing it as a landscape filled with life, history, and the silent music that Harris describes.

Going to the Landwehrkanal, how the sector of the Spree is called to which I live closest by, I listened to my surroundings, which were a mixture of natural and human sounds, ranging from kids laughter at the playground, the church bells but also the rivers flow and the trees moving because of the rather strong winds. What can be heard is how the sounds of nature are not a mere backdrop to the human noises but more so an equal part of living sounds, with the sounds of wind on the trees and the water being at the forefront.

This wind, these sounds are not passive elements of the environment but living and breathing entities with their own life, breathing air into nature but also us as humans. This natural landscape which is also being heavily disrupted in its living peace by humans who go to playgrounds, drink beers and talk or listen to music, are now heavily intertwined within the overall cosmos, blending into the overall living landscape encapsulating all forms of life.

The Spree: A River of Life

Rivers have always been central to human civilization, acting as lifelines for cities and communities, and the Spree is a prime example of this. Flowing through the heart of Berlin, the Spree has witnessed the city’s evolution from a small medieval town to the vibrant metropolis it is today. Much like the rivers in Guyana that Harris describes, the Spree can be seen as a "living landscape," a force that has shaped Berlin's physical and cultural identity over centuries.

Harris’s concept of landscapes as living entities resonates deeply with the Spree, which is more than just a body of water. It is a dynamic presence that interacts with the city and its inhabitants, carrying the memories of Berlin’s past into today as a multicultural, thriving city. The Spree is breathing life into the city and its people, while also being shaped by its urban surroundings.

Maybachufer: A Microcosm of Berlin’s Diversity

The Maybachufer, a vibrant stretch along the Spree, exemplifies Berlin's diversity and dynamic identity. Known for its multicultural market, often called the Turkish Market, this area has long been a melting pot, especially for Balkan, Turkish, and Middle Eastern communities in Kreuzberg. The market is more than a place of commerce, it is a lively social space where a multitude of languages intermingle, reflecting the global connections of its people. The Maybachufer is a living landscape, where local and global cultures blend, and where history and human interaction continually reshape the environment.

The Silent Music of the Maybachufer

Harris's concept of "silent music" within nature deeply resonates with the atmosphere of the Maybachufer. In between the market's hustle and bustle, there's a deeper rhythm that reflects the connection between people and the landscape. This silent music isn't just in the physical sounds like the vendors' voices, rustling leaves, and the river's flow, but also in the connections that bind people to the place and to each other, seen in gatherings both outside and inside the shops.

Like the landscapes of Guyana Harris describes, the Maybachufer has its own voice and story. It’s a place where Berlin’s history is woven into the environment, marked by memories of migration, displacement, and resilience. The silent music of the Maybachufer reflects a landscape that has seen diverse cultures and continues to resonate with the stories of those who have and will call it home.

The Maybachufer and the Global Landscape

The Maybachufer is a vibrant intersection of local and global cultures, reflecting Berlin's diverse identity. This area, where goods, people, and ideas converge, mirrors the interconnectedness of the modern world. The Spree River, like the rainforests of Guyana described by Harris, is vital to Berlin's ecosystem, providing life and refuge. The Maybachufer exemplifies how the health of one part of the world impacts the whole. Amidst environmental challenges like pollution and gentrification, the Maybachufer stands as a reminder of the need to protect not just physical landscapes but the living, breathing entities that shape a city's identity.

The Maybachufer as a Site of Memory and Resistance

The Maybachufer is a significant site of memory and resistance, reflecting Berlin’s workingclass and immigrant history. For decades, it has been a hub for alternative cultures and countercultural movements, with the market embodying the ongoing effort to uphold the neighborhood’s social and political spirit amid gentrification. As a living archive, the Maybachufer preserves the history of labor, migration, and social justice in Berlin. This aligns with Harris’s view that memory plays a crucial role in understanding and preserving landscapes, emphasizing the need to honor their vibrancy through art and imagination.

The Future of the Maybachufer and the Spree

Looking ahead, the Maybachufer and the Spree face significant challenges as Berlin continues to grow and develop. The pressures of gentrification, environmental degradation, and social inequality threaten to erode the cultural and social fabric of this area. However, the Maybachufer also holds the potential for renewal if the community can find ways to balance development with the need to preserve its unique character and significance.

Harris’s reflections on the need for renewed sensitivity to the life of the planet are particularly relevant here. The Maybachufer, like the landscapes of Guyana, represents a place where the relationship between humans and the environment is most immediate and visible. The future of the Maybachufer hinges on the community’s ability to recognize and nurture this relationship, fostering a way of life that harmonizes with the landscape rather than exploiting or destroying it.

Conclusion

In conclusion, the Spree and Maybachufer are more than just geographical features, they are living landscapes rich in social and cultural significance. Reflecting Wilson Harris’s idea of landscapes as living entities, the Maybachufer embodies the intersection of history, culture, and human interaction. It represents Berlin's multicultural identity and the city’s resilience, blending global and local elements. The future of both the Spree and Maybachufer depends on our ability to maintain these connections and preserve these landscapes amidst challenges like climate change, gentrification, and capitalist pressures.

Personally, the Maybachufer is a refuge, a reminder of my Greek heritage which I strongly connect to nature and water, and a symbol of the harmonious life I seek in Berlin. It is crucial that we nurture and protect this landscape, ensuring it remains a living testament to our collective identity.
