Berlin might break your heart, but this newsletter will at least tell you why.

“scavenger hunt for relevance” - somehow you perfectly managed to put into words what Berlin can feel like 🙏🏼 great post! Looking forward to read more

Much appreciated, dear Julia. The prize for winning the scavenger hunt is likely just another Telegram link.

The Berlin scene sounds so intriguing and elusive, ephemeral, yet indelible. Beautiful writing - and what an alluring topic

can’t appreciate the illustrations enough: gives your essay such a fresh look, love it!

i’m based in Madrid but happened to be in Berlin this week (maybe it’s the algorithm finally doing its job and the reason i saw your post) anyways, i’d love to meet for a coffee! :)

Oooo und gute writing! I’m stoked, thank you.

Danke! Writing about Berlin sometimes feels like describing a dream five minutes after waking up (though I’ll keep trying).

Totally! I’ve been here since 2007 and it’s still the most difficult place to describe, I know many people feel the same. I gotta say it’s cool to see Mitte get some love again, finally :)

It’s due to refusal of being led. People do not understand that leaders are necessary. As archetype.
