Time to say Goodbye

Time to say Goodbye

That’s all folks! After just one and a half years it’s time to say goodbye to one of the most exciting temporary projects of the past few years. LEHRTER SIEBZEHN at Lehrter Straße 17 (exactly!) is closing its curtains. Forever. Nothing endures but change and believing in the power of change has always been the driving force behind the creators. LEHRTER SIEBZEHN aka L17 originated in 2013 from a collaboration between the property owners and the curatorial duo SEEMS professional. On a total surface of 550 square metres L17 offered space for artistic and cultural interaction, social discourse and was also a platform for promising talents. But before taking off into Post-Lehrter-Galaxies, it´s time to celebrate one last time and one thing is for sure: this grand finale will be a closing party to remember! In the usual LEHRTER manner, old and new friends will be collaborating to present a grand line up of installations, exhibitions, music and yummy nibbles. Pussykrew and the great Pfadfinderei will be there as well as Luca Pozz, Syc, Georgia Girl, Cellographicsw/Konstantin Manaev & Tatsuru Arai and many more. Admission is free, fun is guaranteed. So let´s teardown and start afresh!

Greener than green.

Greener than green.

We proudly present our new roomies: Miss Butterfly, Lady Marmalade, King Karl and The Dude!  Pretty to look at, boasting with pride and somewhat rootless but all well fed. They arrived with everything they need for strong growth: fertilizer, a first-aid-kit, an instruction manual and free nursing service. Fertilizer? Instructions? Are you crazy? Well, the new guys and gals are all plants! Bred and brought up by Jan and Philip, the founders of Evrgreen (yes, there is an e missing): the first online shop for funky plants. Apparently most of us Germans are not the gardening type. In effort to solve this problem Jan and Philip decided to give us a hand and boost our knowledge. Their sets are meant to help even the most hopeless plant whisperers to have blooming success. Evrgreen chooses particularly robust plants from German nurseries that are responsibly produced, handled with care and grown without artificial light. This helps the plants to improve in quality, to become more resistant and to bring much more satisfaction. Happy plants are healthy plants and need less care. That all sounds pretty easy, right? So they are ideal plants for offices or other shared spaces, in which rarely someone feels in charge. Put a fool-proof manual on top and it’s a done deal! It’s so fresh and so green…

Life is not a … subway station

Life is not a… subway station.

Once again the freezing winter cold is making life extremely hard for people on the streets. Whether by choice or forced, several thousands of people spend the whole winter with no roof over their heads, regardless of how cold it is. The awareness and fundraising campaign “One Warm Winter”, brought to life by Friends with Benefits, street-magazine “strassenfeger” and advertising agency DOJO, has been making contributions for years in the most berlinesque way possible: without the finger-wagging but with lots of cool faces instead. Thanks to Marteria, Palina and co, the “Das Leben ist kein U-Bahnhof”-sweater is a must-have even among the most stylish of hipsters. See what other great items you can shop here. And this Friday the booziest charity-party of all is returning… While some people only associate charity with social agenda, the prominent contributors get straight to the point. Besides PALINA ROJINSKI, LARY and BALBINA the One-Warm-Winter-Festival is bustling with secret special acts. Led into the great depths of the chardonnay-charity scene by the enchanting voice of VISA VIE, they all make it their mission to bring you the hottest night of the year yet. Show up, spend some money, and make helpies – not selfies. Bravo!

Have a seat, please!

Kiez Sofa

Have a seat, please!

Once upon a time in a little village along the river Rhine there was a little sofa. And on this little sofa sat the most glorious guests the neighbourhood had to offer. Each of them had a great story to tell and hooray, the whole neighbourhood was all ears. One of these guests was Simon Akstinat and he was so touched, thrilled and entertained by what he heard, that without further ado, he decided to import this concept to his new neighbourhood: Berlin Neukölln. The local talk show “Kiez Sofa”, hosted by Simon Akstinat and cofounder Nadine Kleifges, welcomes local guests from Neukölln (famous or not) to talk about their extraordinary life stories, because nothing is more exciting or pleasing than finding out more about the people who live just around the corner. Musicians, globetrotters, entrepreneurs, politicians and artists take a seat on the Kiez Sofa to spill the beans about their personal connection to Neukölln and everyday life there. There is no main topic, the only thing the guests have in common is calling Neukölln their home. Next Monday, Simon and Nadine will be talking to Neukölln-born TV-author and journalist Güner Balci, never shy to hit hot topics, the team behind “Auf halber Treppe”, who host a staircase coffee-klatsch to get neighbours networking, and Neukölln astrologist Roger Nikodemus. Number 4 on the sofa is a musician or an entrepreneur and definitely still a secret. Come to the Prachtwerk on Ganghofer Straße on February 23 to find out who it is. Grab a seat and enjoy!
