LOCATION. JOHANN'S PRIMARY OFFICE. Eugen-Leopold Platz 1, berlin.

Johann works in undisclosed subsidiary security company from Switzerland &. the company's headquarter is located in Eugen-Leopold Platz 1, outside of hackescher markt, berlin. it is one of most recognizable buildings amongst of commercials buildings on the corner of the market as it was meant to be built for an advertisement company by its completion in 2011, however after four years of operation, the advertisement company had gone bankrupt &. the security company chose its new headquarter place in berlin.

Designed by Hermann Schultz, this 8,800 m² building was an actualization of the previous company's vision: Orchestra of Ideas. The building was designed to mimic a modern orchestra house &. its interwoven instrumental imagery. The work surfaces are arranged around the central stage, with an atrium connecting all of the floors &. work spaces. the ground floor has reception, lobby, restaurant &. urban space. the company chose this building as a perfect cover-up of security services dealings that go through the company; an orchestra of safety.

As general counsel of the company, Johann's office is located on the sixth floor of this eight stories building. The whole floor is floor is for the legal department. the office is a combination of closed but transparent office cells with open areas that create a spatial continuum that enables informal encounters &. concentrated work at the same time.

Upon walking from the escalator / lift, the visitor will be welcomed by the front office where johann's secretary resides &. a guest meeting room as an extension of the front office. within the front office, there's a modern designed sofa for the visitor to sit whilst waiting for the meeting. because of the transparent window/door that divide the front room &. the meeting room, a person can see the meeting takes place.

furthermore, when a person walks through the lobby on the left side of the front office, soon they will be welcomed by a bigger meeting room, of which people call it as a conference room. within this place, it can hold about twenty to twenty five people thus accommodating larger discussions / meetings than the front office. on the right side of the conference room, there's a couple of paralegals &. legal assistants offices. the senior legal counsels &. legal counsels offices are the left side as an extension from the press conference room which eventually make a box shaped floor.

johann's office is situated between the conference room &. legal counsels' offices. upon walking to his office, a person will be welcomed by modern abstract painting that matches the modern facade of the building alongside of several black &. white industrial photographs captured by johann's friends. there's also modern black sofa in between before johann's personal desk. johann's personal desk is a modern oak table with dark green deskmat &. trinkets such as steel globe, industrial desk lamp, personal photos on the corner of the desk &. a laptop that he carries than using computer. behind the desk, there's a small storage that keeps documents &. books he reads &. a safe box beside of it. there's not much that can describe his personality, however he keeps personal photos such as a picture of him &. his mother on his first day as a law student, a picture of him &. his cousin, nina, &. pictures of nina's triplets as well as one of triplets' drawing he keeps as a reminder of the family he barely connects despite being in germany.

johann continuously goes back & forth between his office in bern, new york, london, &. others however he sees the berlin office as his primary office.

I am absolutely immune to German geography. A friend of mine lives in Würzburg and has told me many, many times where that is and every time i’ve forgotten it immediately afterwards. Where the fuck is Göttingen. I look it up, there’s a millisecond of recognition, and then that knowledge escapes into the ether again. Lübeck could be in Bavaria for all I know

things lost and not yet found

prompt: "it should have been me"

whumpee: gereon rath

fandom: babylon berlin

here's a short little thing exploring gereon after returning from the war. hope you like!

He is supposed to be dead. 

Or at least, he is supposed to be missing. And Anno is supposed to be here in his place. 

He is lying flat on his back atop his bed in his family’s home and the war feels like an open wound in his chest. 

It has been three months since he returned. He cannot stop flinching at loud noises, and sometimes his hands shake so badly that he cannot hold onto anything at all. 

He wishes he could have at least returned strong. He would still be the wrong son, he would still feel everyone’s eyes on him whenever he leaves the house, but maybe, if he was stronger, his father would not hate him quite so much. 

As it is, though, Gereon is weak. He’s survived, yes, but he should not have. Perhaps this is his punishment, for being the one who returned. 

The torment does not let him sleep, most nights. Several times a week, he wakes up with a jolt, soaked in sweat and breathing heavily and terrified of things he never quite remembers. 

He sobs as quietly as he can. Not that anyone would come knocking if he was louder. But sometimes he wakes up screaming, and his father pounds angrily on the door. 

He wants to leave. Wants to return in time and stop himself from going to war. Be a better child, somehow, and earn his father’s adoration. 

He wants, quite often, to die. 

It should have been me. 

The words echo through his head every time he catches someone looking at him, in pity, in disgust, in concern. 

It should have been me. 

There is no reason that he should be here, and Anno should be trapped somewhere foreign, if he is even alive at all. 

Anno is the golden child, the prodigy, the pride of the family. God should have protected him. But it is Gereon who is here, and he does not deserve it. 

He prays for his brother’s return, for the nightmares and the terror to leave him, for people to look at him without seeing Anno’s ghost behind him. For the ability to look at himself without seeing Anno’s ghost behind him. 

He wants something that he does not know the name of, something that lurks in the back of his mind but never quite makes itself known. 

He drifts in and out of restless sleep and hopes uselessly for things to be different when he wakes. 

thanks for reading!!

I love the sets in Berlin they have used for the upcoming 10th Hunger Games, oh 😅 movie The Ballad Of Songbirds And Snakes. Here are some.

[blualt]

yesterday, right after i watched cabaret, i infodumped about it to my grandma, and when i told her that cliff was confirmed to be queer and kissed a man, she said something along the lines of “this generation is so obsessed with sexuality”

i looked her dead in the eyes and said “this is from 1993.”
