German History

When I was a little girl, my Opa sent me a card that had a dried pressed edelweiss flower and a miniature hiker’s axe on it. I loved pulling back the protective cover and petting the soft fuzzy petals. For years that card sat on my bookshelf, and I would imagine the mysterious far-off mountain […]

What is Gemuetlichkeit? Trying to define an indefineable German Concept

January 30, 2020

Celebrating German Culture in America

When I arrive on my Aunt’s doorstep in Germany, she greets me with “Kommt ‘rein… mach’s euch Gemütlich!”(come in, make yourself gemütlich) and on family evenings instead of making plans my mother might say, “Wir machen uns Heute Abend Gemütlich” (tonight we will make ourselves gemütlich).

(It’s the kind of room where people whisper.) But it wasn’t so long ago when the rooms were empty, and the stolen treasure of […]

Visit the DDR Museum Berlin- An Interactive Museum of East Germany

April 24, 2018

German History

Maybe it’s because I loved the TV show Deutschland 83 and the film Good bye Lenin, maybe it’s because I’m forever haunted that a city can be divided in half, or maybe it’s the wild wallpaper… but I really enjoyed visiting the DDR Museum in Berlin. This little hands-on museum is a fascinating look back […]
