  • Seeking butterflies, Apr 3, 2014

    Posted on Thursday, 03.04.2014 20:50 by sebrem 2 Comments

    Today during lunch break I was trying to take pictures of butterflies. Only one let me take a picture, I guess its name is Speckled Wood (Waldbrettspiel, Laubfalter).

  • Mariposas, butterflies, Schmetterlinge in Dortmund (no pics)

    Posted on Wednesday, 02.04.2014 14:24 by sebrem Comment

    If you’re like me you enjoy watching butterflies (today when I did not have my camera with me due to charging my mobile a couple of them even sat down in front of me), at least in Dortmund I’ve been to a good spot during my lunch break, in the Technologiepark between Hauert / Universitätsstraße / Joseph-von-Fraunhofer-Straße / Otto-Hahn-Straße. The small wood sported different kinds of butterflies 🙂

    I’ve been a bit knocked out yesterday, but nevertheless the weekend was very nice, Music on Friday and Saturday and on Sunday a small bike tour into the east of Dortmund, chilling out in Westpark and having a dinner made by fellow couchsurfing friends 🙂

    The weekend was quite busy, joining the Session at Youngster’s Point, accompanying someone nice in Dortmund (including Uni flea market), a very nice party and in the end a meeting in Tremoniapark. 🙂

  • Spring has begun, Mar 20, 2014

    Posted on Thursday, 20.03.2014 15:19 by sebrem Comment

    It’s spring 🙂 I would have loved to put up pictures of butterflies but unfortunately the little fellows have been to busy today to pose for my camera, so it’s flowers instead. I’ve been at Nordstadt, An der Palmweide, in Technologiepark and Dorstfeld in Dortmund and at Zollverein in Essen that day.

  • 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.
