5 Days in July – July 5th to July 9th.

July 7, 2011.

The seemingly innocent copse of Robinia, a patch of waste landscape colonised by nature right in the heart of Berlin, has born the brunt of history and been neglected by it in turn. Between 1933 and 1945, it was the heart of the Third Reich and home to the headquarters of the Gestapo and SS. After the war, the area was erradicated and gradually turned into a piece of abandoned wasteland, and from 1961 the Berlin Wall ran along the northern edge of the then levelled terrain. In 1987, the site was landscaped and opened to the public.

With his book Topographie, Berlin based photographer Andreas Gehrke signifies the atrocities that were directed from this very place nearly eighty years ago.

Issue 76 featuring Zeger Reyers, Tom Hardy, Neil Krug, Battles, Max Frisinger, Gatto Fritto, Magda Biernat, Koen Mortier, Skating India, Andrew Pommier, Gang Gang Dance, DyE, Neil Krug, Rachel de Joode.

The people from Keirin Berlin would be more than happy to get their bike back. It is a women’s cargo bike (also goes by the name Bakery Bike or Short John) in black color. It has black Campagnolo MTB cranks, only on the drive side though, as well as Schwalbe tires. It is approx. 40-50 years old and has several rust-spots. The most obvious mark is the dent on the top left side of the basket.

There is a CASH reward of €150 at the Keirin shop! No questions asked! If you see this bike send an E-Mail to info@keirinberlin.de or just call the shop at +49 30 84857666.

Thanks Modeselektor.
