Erfurt

 

In the end of March me and my boyfriend went on a weekend vacation with my family.
A city in the east of  Germany called Erfurt. It is about a 3-4 hours drive away from Hannover.

Erfurt has a beautiful old part of town, with lots of half-timbered houses and small streets, where cars are not allowed to drive where you can enjoy taking a long walk through the city, while enjoying the beautiful scenery of an intact typical old town of Germany.
Especially if you live in Hannover, where mostly all of the old town was destroyed during world war II, it is an eye-candy to see these houses which obtained such a horrible time.

Krämerbrücke (Krämer Bridge)

Believe it or not but the ‘Street’ in the picture above is actualle a bridge with houses on it. During the middle ages there were several bridges like the Krämerbrücke built in Europe – maybe the best known is the Rialto Bridge in Venice.
Most of the houses on the Krämer Bridge are used for little shops which sell unique things like blue pottery. The blue they use to color the pottery or even clothes is well known for this area of Germany – it is called ‘Waid’-Blue.

Another very popular tourist attraction is the Cathedral of Erfurt. For me as an architecture student it was really amazing there, old sacral architecture has just something special.
It has the power to make you feel as small as a bug in just one second. And it makes you realize that hightech is not everything you need to create great, impressing architecture.

View from the Side Aisle to the Nave

Everytime I enter such an impressive old building with  so much focus on the details my head is full of questions.. How did they manage that heights and static and still it looks so pretty and massive in one? In my opinion those old master-builder and their helpers where real geniuses and still mostly we don’t know which great minds stand behind buildings like this cathedral or other extraordinary buildings all around the world.
Nowadays we talk about Le Corbusier, Norman Foster, Zaha Hadid, BIG and all the others. Of course they all are great in their special fields of architecture but I think we all can and should learn from those old master-builders from the past. They created architecture that already lasted for centuries and still make people speechless! Architecture that can touch people’s hearts, no matter what their religion or believes are. Architecture that connects people with each other on a higher level, where they share similar feelings without knowing or talking to each other.

Reunion in June

 

We changed quite much during the last years, the style and size of clothes, the haircut or the interests…. but some things never changes: Every Photosession will end up kinda crazy..!!!

 

Can’t wait for the next Reunion.. Oh wait, it’s going to be this Saturday!! ^^

Kota Tua Jakarta

The Old Town of Jakarta, or as they call it ‘Kota Tua’, is in my opinion a really beautiful place. It’s one of the very rare places in Jakarta where you can read something about the history of Jakarta in the buildings and the architecture itself.
If you have a good imagination you can throw yourself in a different time, when cars where very, very rare, most of the people used old bicycles, like the ones you can still find in small villages or in the Netherlands. A time, where people would look into the other persons eyes while talking to them instead of messaging others while pretending to listen to your story.

Museum Sejarah Jakarta

The buildings surrounding the ‘Taman Fatahilah’ are for example ‘Museum Sejarah Jakarta’ (History Museum of Jakarta), ‘Museum Wayang’ and ‘Museum Seni Rupa dan Keramik’ (Museum of Art and Ceramic) and some more have been recently renovated (as far as I know). Besides these buildings, there are still a lot of other buildings, waiting to be renovated, waiting to give this historical place its old charm back. It would be a shame to just demolish them and build something new there.
Today it is already a beautiful place, just imagine how incredible Kota Tua would be if the other old buildings were renovated and filled with beautiful art&handicraft stores and unique Cafés. A place were people can talk and hangout.

Kawah Putih

 

Last week I went to Kawah Putih with a friend of mine.
Kawah Putih Lake is one of two craters which form the Mount Patuha close to Bandung. It’s about a 2-hours drive away from Bandung, of course always depending on the traffic!
The volcano wasn’t active since about the 17th century. At least there were no significant signs about it being active.
So it is quite safe to go there for a quick look.  Because of the quite dirsturbing smell of sulfur you won’t take it that long there anyway. (By the way, If you go there, you don’t need to buy the ‘op-masks’..at least I was fine without them)

The smelly water has a unique color, especially if the sky is blue it looks really beautiful there! A wonderful place to take pictures!

 

It’s definitely worth a visit!
Especially if you like to take pictures ^^
