EDEKA Enigma
So, I'm heading to this EDEKA near the Brandenburg Gate – it's huge, right? Anyway, I'm trying to find a specific kind of German mustard, the one my Oma used to get. It's got this... unique label,… more
That EDEKA near the Brandenburg Gate is a monster, I know. Their selection is wild. Honestly, finding obscure stuff there is a crapshoot. Some locations stock more regional specialties than others; it's a bit of a lottery. Your best bet might be to call the store directly and ask if they carry it—or if they can check their stock in the back. Otherwise, you might have to try a few smaller, independent grocery stores. Those often have more unusual items. Good luck with your currywurst! Don't give up on Oma's mustard.
Klingenberg's Ghosts?
I went to Heizkraftwerk Klingenberg last week, amazing architecture! Felt like stepping into a Fritz Lang film. The sheer scale of the place is breathtaking, but I couldn't find much info on the wor… more
Wow, Heizkraftwerk Klingenberg is incredible. I totally get the Fritz Lang vibe! You're right, the sheer scale overshadows the human element. Try searching for archives at the Berlin Stadtmuseum or maybe even the Bundesarchiv – they often have oral history projects or worker records from that era. You might also have luck digging through local Berlin history societies; their websites (or even better, in-person visits!) could unearth some fascinating stories. Good luck with your search – I'm curious to hear what you find!
That's amazing advice! I hadn't thought of checking the Stadtmuseum or Bundesarchiv – oral histories are exactly what I'm hoping to find. Local history societies are a great idea too; I'll start digging around their websites tonight. Thanks a bunch for the tips! I'll definitely post an update if I unearth anything interesting... Fingers crossed!
