Three churches two castles

Three churches two castles

I like the Auer Dult, a traditional annual market in Munich better than the Oktoberfest. Especially on a beautiful Sunday like this weekend. As the name indicates, the market place located at Mariahilfplatz in the Munich district of Au and taking place three times per year. The weather was good, so I rode a bike...

The postmodern "Münchner Oktoberfest" 2012 seen from a native

Märklin Werksbesichtigung

Ich habe mit vielen Mitarbeitern bei der Werksbesichtigung gesprochen, und war sehr beeindruckt von der Freundlichkeit, der Kompetenz und emotionale Bindung zur Arbeit und Produkt dieser Mitarbeiter. Als Ingenieur war ich...

John F Kennedy’s Rice Moon Speech 50 years later

No man can fully grasp how far and how fast we have come, but condense, if you will, the 50,000 years of man¹s recorded history in a time span of but a half-century. Stated in these terms, we know very little about the first 40 years, except at the end of them advanced man had...

Leni Riefenstahl – Three strikes and you're out.

Whatever you can say about Leni Riefenstahl (1902-2003) and plenty of people have said (and written) a lot about her, she led a fascinating life. She was beautiful and talented. She was a woman in a man’s field. She made her career during Hitler’s Third Reich. Three strikes and you’re out. Riefenstahl’s life Despite (I...

40 years later Munich Olympia revisited

By fallen Angel Today, the 26th of August, on the 40th anniversary of the openings of Olympic Park I biked with my family there to join the local festivities. Somehow I became a little bit distracted as rather memories of the Black September event than of Olympia 1972 kept coming up. For many the park...
