Natascha von Hirschhausen's commitment to sustainability is evident in her zero-waste concept, which reduces pattern cut-offs to less than 1% and emphasizes made-to-order production.
The layout reads immediately through its centerpiece. A large counter traces a curved path across the room, guiding both movement and attention. Formed from a reclaimed millstone, the surface has been cut into three segments and reassembled into a continuous, fan-like sequence.
Los Bitchos will take the stage, bringing their signature hypnotic grooves and summery, tropical guitar melodies. This London-based quartet effortlessly fuses cumbia, surf, and psychedelic vibes into an instrumental tapestry that is both irresistibly danceable and soul-stirringly atmospheric.

We want to show people something of the physical reality of the conflict. We hope to bring it home to them that this is a war going on here and now in Europe, and that we ignore it at our peril.
Bikes are a quicker way to get around. We should use them so we can enjoy more of our destination I hate walking anywhere. Whenever we explore Berlin, where we live, I prefer to cycle. It's easier, it's more fun, and it saves time. My husband disagrees. Frantz loves walking and I always end up trailing behind him by bike, which is uncomfortable because I have to pedal slowly to keep at his pace.
Myriam Jacob-Allard appears through a heavy door and greets us with an easy warmth, scooping us up and welcoming us into her world. We are immediately absorbed by an unexpected color-drenched stairwell. Every surface is saturated in a dense, glowing yellow that reads unmistakably as egg yolk, insulating us from the outside in as we make our ascent. We turn into a long hallway whose fragrant freshly waxed floor catches the light, reflecting it back upward so that the corridor seems to glow beneath our feet.
With over two decades dedicated to ballet and contemporary dance, Marcelo translates a sharp awareness of space, body, and energy into a visual language that prioritises presence over posing. His work is a deep exploration of the transition of masculinity, a journey he has lived from the 1990s to the present day. By dissolving the traditional boundaries between toughness and elegance, Marcelo's lens creates a dialogue where opposites are no longer divided, but united.
After spending six years in New York for school and then work, I started to worry that if I didn't make a hop across the pond soon, it might never happen at all. So, when a close friend who had just moved to Berlin started encouraging me to do the same, I knew that my opportunity for life in Europe had finally arrived. There was just one hitch in my plan: Other than what I'd learned in history classes,
German authorities said Sunday they arrested a 22-year-old Syrian man in Berlin suspected of preparing a "jihadist" attack, without giving details of the alleged plot. The suspect, arrested on Saturday in the capital's southern Neukoelln district, was being kept in a detention centre and was to be brought before an investigating judge later Sunday. He was alleged to have plotted "a jihadist-motivated attack", a spokesman for the prosecutor's office in Berlin told AFP.
Brutalist Berlin, published by Blue Crow Media, is an architectural guidebook devoted to the raw materiality and social ambition of Berlin's postwar concrete structures. Written and photographed by architectural historian Dr. Felix Torkar, the volume documents more than fifty sites across the city - from housing estates and cultural institutions to infrastructural landmarks - and situates them within the political and cultural framework of Germany's Cold War reconstruction.
Berlin's history has been difficult, to say the least. And yet today, the German capital's intoxicating mix of grit, glamour, and anything-goes expression born from historical repression has made it one of the most dynamic cities on earth. Where else can you saunter through Prussian palaces, venture into Nazi-era bunkers, tour the world's longest outdoor art gallery, and lose yourself in Europe's most famous techno temple? (And that's just day one.) Yes, you'll come across remnants of the city's past
The ZKU, Center for Art and Urbanistics, was established in 2012 with the conversion of a former freight station in Berlin Moabit. Its highly diverse program includes not only art, urban research, and various music events but also urban strategies, lectures, cinema, neighborhood markets, and much more. The available space soon became insufficient for the growing range of activities.
The flight from NYC to Berlin took eight hours. When I booked my ticket, I selected the cheapest non-stop option: a red-eye with Norse Airways, a budget airline I'd never heard of. I booked the lowest-tier ticket, economy light, for $88. There was also a $20 airport check-in fee. I couldn't believe it was possible to fly across the Atlantic for around $100.
In USED’s new track and video, Lazy Morning, you are swept into the entrancing rhythm that perfectly encapsulates a young woman's surreal journey through the melancholy rituals of apartment hunting in the bustling heart of Berlin.
David Bowie reflected on his creative burst in 1970s West Berlin, stating that the studio's proximity to the Wall gave him a sense of being on the edge, both mentally and emotionally. He expressed a need for a dangerous level of creativity to thrive, which resonated with the vibrant, divisive culture of Berlin at that time.
Every summer, the neighborhood throws its own smaller-scale LGBTQ+ Pride event separate from the city's main annual parade taking place this weekend. It's just one of more than 200 Pride events taking place in Germany this year.
