Berlin, History, Photos

Gallery: Marienkirche

Marienkirche (St. Mary’s Church) near Alexanderplatz was first mentioned in 1292, making it at least the second oldest church in Berlin. While we were there, it was undergoing renovations, so I did not take many photos of the outside. Like almost every structure in Berlin, it was rebuilt after the war.

Theme: Gallery: Graffiti, Signs, and Posters

The graffiti in Germany is everywhere. At first I couldn’t understand why, German culture tends to value order and rules, graffiti feels chaotic and lawless. Berlin is certainly a city of street art, with posters, murals, and fliers everywhere. You can even take tours to learn more about the graffiti of Berlin (I didn’t, but my roommate did. I was in Hamburg.)

Field kit is (mostly) assembled! I’m not buying paper until I get to Germany. It’s too heavy. Everything else was INSANELY more expensive there (the Prismacolor pencils were $19 here $47 in Germany!) I’ve got my army engineers bag and I am ready to go!
