Enjoying the view

These benches on Leopoldplatz are a good place for some people watching in Wedding. There's a weekly market here on the square and when it gets warmer there is also a nice fountain for the kids to play in. I enjoyed my cappuccino from le garçon here a few weeks ago.

PS: I've also got a Viennese sign for you over on my travel blog. You can see it here.

Le garcon

Il fait un bon café, même un flat white ! For more signs, visit Signs, Signs.

Bun buns

After the somewhat sad posts from Plötzensee, I hope these cute bunnies will cheer you up!

Memorial plaque

While visiting the Plötzensee Memorial, I learned that the Hampels (the couple from the Alone in Berlin story) had lived in Wedding. So I decided to take the S Bahn and have a look. There's not much to see, but someone who lives in the building let me in the gate so I could get a closer look at the plaque. At least these people are being remembered in some small way.

"Here stands the house in which Otto and Elise Hampel lived from 1934 until their arrest. The working class couple was executed on 8 April 1943 in Berlin Plotzensee. Their resistance against the nazi regime was the basis for the book Alone in Berlin by Hans Fallada."

A new friend?

I found this guy just hanging out in a park in Wedding. I don't know if he's a moth or a butterfly, but I like the colors.

PS: I am posting photos from my recent trip to Paris on my other photoblog, Halcyon Travels. Please stop by and take a look. You can click here or on the link on the right side of this page. Enjoy!

For the birds

I found this "bird cafe" outside the Eckkniepe I showed you last week in Wedding. Both birds and people can enjoy their time at this joint!

Leopoldplatz

We are back to Wedding with a look at the Old Nazareth Church on Leopoldplatz. Those water spouts are very popular with the kids during the hot summer days. There's a nice market here on the weekends with a good selection of products and good prices!

Beer and blood thinner

An interesting way to advertise a bar, but it certainly caught my attention! It's Monday again and you'll find more murals at Monday Mural.

A couple of wedding dresses in Wedding

If you're looking for a second-hand wedding dress, why not take a look in Wedding? I couldn't resist snapping this shot when I was walking through that area of town recently. The sign, however, appears to be out of date. I am pretty sure this is not the Bar Einrichtungen (Facilities Bar, whatever that means!). For more signs, head to Signs, Signs.

A tree grows in Wedding

I found this large mural just across from the Wedding S-Bahn station. It was painted in 2011 by artist Viktor Ash - I'm amazed it hasn't been tagged or defaced over time. I rather like the subject, although it could be more colorful for my taste. However Ash is known for his black and white murals and he's probably not going to change his style for me! It's Monday again and you'll find more murals at Monday Mural.
