(Re)visiting Berlin
(Re)visiting Berlin
Finally coming back in Berlin more than two years later, I can notice the importance of this first visit: being able to lose my “tourist” status. No museum nor monument visit planned. I feel closer from the Berliners, able to discover the city again, with no ties. At the cusp of 2018, it is a brand new city I am walking through.
En revenant enfin à Berlin plus de deux ans plus tard, je me rends compte de l’importance de cette première visite : être capable de me détacher de mon statut de «touriste». Aucun musée ni monument au programme. Je me sens plus proche des berlinois, capable de redécouvrir la ville sans contrainte. A l’orée de cette année 2018, c’est une toute nouvelle ville que je découvre.


Along the cemetery. A walk in Kreuzberg, the very first morning of 2018.

The Berlin Wall Memorial, on Bernauer Straße. An open air historic exhibition had been constructed along 1.4 kilometers of the former border strip, where the Wall was built in August 1961.

Tourists having a peep behind the last preserved ground part of the Wall as it was set up in the late 1980s.
