The Eiermannbau in Apolda is a formidable example of the lightness of modern architecture and an icon of industry culture.
Originally build by architect Hermann Schneider in 1906, the building was expanded and redesigned by Egon Eiermann in 1938/39. Until 1994 fire extinguishers have been produced in the halls.
So just for your inspiration: We did this first last year and this year, as everybody was stuck in the middle of covid19 measurements and did not see a lot of people it was more important for everyone of us than ever. It is called the Body&Soul Festival. We have been nine people and everyone has to make a distribution for the three days together. Show the others something, invite them to create. We had yoga lessons, zen meditation, thai massage workshop, printing workshop, macramee workshop, salsa dancing class and, as always, the best food ever. I recommend doing this with your best friends at least once a year.
We had a nice hike through the hilly forests near Bad Freienwalde. Don’t miss to have a snack at the “Waldschenke” next to lake Baasee and admire their great decorative items from different centuries. Nearby you can look up to the highest tree in Brandenburg. In fact, you can’t see which one is the highest […]
Museum Klostermühle in Boitzenburg A sight really worth visiting in Boitzenburg is the Museum Klostermühle build in the 18th century and the ruin of a monastery just behind it (13th century). Thousands of well arranged artifacts from different “old times” are making former life tangible in this building. And there are some real treasures as […]

Hugs to all of you and a very […]
Mum and I had been on this sunny but very cold hike between Unterneudorf and Steinbach. At a moment, we tried to cross the small Steinbach creek in the forest, but we didn’t find a good place to do so. All the places that stayed without sunshine during the day, were still coated with frosty […]
Pico, the island, has the same name as its mountain. With 2531m, Pico Mountain is the highest mountain in Portugal and one of the biggest European volcanoes. The last eruption has been in 1720. One of the former eruptions created another tiny mountain inside of the caldera (I’m quite sure that geologists would chose different words for this outcome :-), which gives Pico its characteristic appearance. It looks like the mountain would wear a too small party hat. Despite this funny exterior, Pico has a diginfied and wise aura.
