  • Memorial Steinwache Dortmund

    Posted on Sunday, 16.03.2014 21:51 by sebrem Comment

    Yesterday I’ve been asked by a guest about the Steinwache memorial – I must admit that after nearly 15 years in Dortmund I never thought much about it, I was thinking it was like one room with some black/white pictures, but I did not know how wrong I’ve been all the time.

    The memorial has a permanent exhibition about German history from roughly 1930 to 1945, with a focus of the events in the area around Dortmund. It’s a refurbished prison and each of the 50 cells on 3 levels has a different topic. So you should take some time, at least 2 hours I’d say. The easiest way to understand the contents in English is to buy the € 0,50 guidebook in English.

    I did not want to take pictures inside it. Admission is free, see http://www.dortmund.de/de/freizeit_und_kultur/stadtarchiv/steinwache/ (in German) for more information.

    Gestern hat mich ein Gast nach der Gedenkstätte Steinwache gefragt – ich muß zugeben, nach fast 15 Jahren in Dortmund habe ich nicht viel über diesen Ort nachgedacht, ich hatte mir vorgestellt, es handele sich um einen Raum mit ein paar Schwarz/weiß-Aufnahmen, aber ich wußte nicht, wie falsch ich damit lag.

    Die Gedenkstätte hat eine Dauerausstellung über deutsche Geschichte von ca. 1930 bis 945 mit dem Schwerpunkt auf das Gebiet um Dortmund. Es handelt sich um ein umgebautes Gefängnis und jede der 50 Zellen auf 3 Etagen hat ein anderes Thema. Deshalb sollte man etwas Zeit mitbringen, ich denke, mindestens 2 Stunden. Für englischsprachige Besucher gibt es den Museumsführer als Broschüre für € 0,50 zu kaufen (die deutsche Broschüre ist ebenfalls für € 0,50 erhältlich).

    Ich wollte keine Photos machen. Der Eintritt ist frei, mehr Informationen gibt es unter http://www.dortmund.de/de/freizeit_und_kultur/stadtarchiv/steinwache/.

  • Stroll around the former Museum Ostwall, Dortmund, Feb 27, 2014

    Posted on Friday, 28.02.2014 12:11 by sebrem Comment

    Yesterday I tried to find the building of the former Museum Ostwall, located at said thoroughfare. I had to learn I was mistaken about its position all the time, I mistook a school building for it and yesterday even went into the secretary office of Stadtgymnasium to ask about it. But finally I found the building, but unfortunately I was one month late to see the latest (or final?) exhibition, which was closed end of January.
    The future of the site is still subject to political discussions, see the page of a citizen’s group (in German) for more information.

    Below are some pictures I took that day in the area.

  • Making sense of the remaining leave today and tomorrow

    Posted on Thursday, 27.02.2014 09:28 by sebrem Comment

    So, after a bit of a gloomy time I had during the last weeks, today I finally had a good start into my last 2 days of spending the remaining leave of 2013 today and tomorrow. 🙂  I’ll probably meet some people from “Neu in Dortmund” at Cakes’n’Treats at 10.30 (feel free to join, there’s also an FB event visible for members of said group).

    Later at 13.00 I’ll meet at least one friend for lunch at Caracalla (feel also free to join).

    Then there’s a pending couch request (the first “official” of this year, the other guests were friends who contacted me directly) by an interesting person, she’s from NZ and travelled 6 months through Europe and I guess she’ll have some stories to tell, should she make it to Dortmund tomorrow.

    Having nearly made up for the days off hour-wise in the office this week I hope to spend not too much time at the PC, there are some private tasks left but I guess I’ll just do the ones friends asked me for and leave the not-pressing private ones (working on the blog for example) to a rainy afternoon . 😉

    To those who celebrate carnival during the next days, have a good time!

  • Shortcut from Dortmund-Dorstfeld to Dortmund Uni is open, Feb 5, 2014

    Posted on Wednesday, 05.02.2014 18:00 by sebrem Comment

    It must have been weeks ago that the shortcut from Dortmund-Dorstfeld to Uni has been opened. I’m talking about the new road that leads from “Dorstfelder Allee” to the roundabout close to “Tryp Hotel” in Eichlinghofen. Here’s a map:

    And here are some pictures I took from the passenger seat of a car:
