THE BURGHERS OF CALAIS
A wonderful sculpture by the great Rodin.
“The Burghers of Calais”, by Auguste Rodin at Kunstmuseum Basel.
The whole setting of this statue and the work itself is deeply moving.

Mutter mit dem Toten Sohn (Mother with a dead Son), an enlarged replica of a statue made by Käthe Kollwitz after WWI, standing in the Neue Wache at Unter den Linden boulevard in the centre of Berlin.
You will find the placed at the centre of the hall inside the New Guard House, under a round opening in the roof, the oculus. It stands there day and night, with rain and snow falling upon it, like it did on many victims of human folly and cruelty.
When unveiled on November 4, 1993, the image of a mother embracing her dead child as if absorbing it back into her body was often wrongly interpreted as one of the Holy Mother, Mary, cradling the body of dead Jesus; a motif known as “Pietà”. It even became a source of…

Blatt um Blatt…
Was meinst Gluten bitte? Schone Posting!

~ Bewegter November ~
Trag dein Feuer bis zum Himmel, trag,
bald schon dämmert dir ein lichter Tag,
wie ein Baum im Herbst verschwende
blattgleich Gluten ohne Ende;
lebe, leb, fang stets von Neuem an,
jedem Augenblick gib seinen Klang,
fühl den Wind in Wipfeln, Zweigen schwingen,
geht durch alles, lässt es zitternd singen,
leis verklingen…kalt, hinab
Blatt um Blatt ins Erdengrab!

MAGNUS ZELLER
Fascinating work-have just looked him up at https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnus_Zeller
Goes well with the Fruhstuck at the Backerei!
Trust the “Berliner Morgenpost” to make your day: whether a chance reader or a subscriber; whether you prefer their paper edition (which finds its way into our mailbox each morning) or enjoy it online, this is – next to the “Tagesspiegel” – THE Berlin paper. And both dailies are famous for sharing pretty much incredible collections of Berlin images.
Here´s the latest batch of the said pictures: Berlin-Kreuzberg in the 1970s and today. Hard to believe, perhaps, but even Kotti was once a quiet and peaceful place. The question is, was it better?;)
Enjoy it!

The Monthly Scientist: Miss October
A clever and brave woman!
This months scientist is recognised for the discovery of nuclear fission although never officially. She was also the first female professor at the university of Berlin. This outstanding scientist is of course:
Miss Lise Meitner
Born: 7, November, 1878 – Austria
Died: 27, October, 1968 – Cambridge, UK.
Noted for: Discovery of nuclear fission.
Why scientist of the month?
In 1901, Meitner enrolled at the University of Vienna (they finally let women in in 1899) and studied physics under the renowned Ludwig Boltzmann. She received a doctorate in physics in 1906, the second woman to do so. She sent a letter to Curie to see if she could work with her in Paris but there was no room. So she then went to Berlin to study under Otto Hahn and Max Planck in 1907. Meitner worked very closely with Hahn for nearly thirty years at the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute for Chemistry…
