Visit with me my memories of a night in the Kreuzberg area, Berlin [Eng - Esp]
Visit with me my memories of a night in the Kreuzberg area, Berlin
Not so long ago, in December 2021, I set foot on German soil for the first time in my life. I went confidently knowing that I would love the cold, but of course, I was unaware of what winter meant in the mighty European country.
After almost a month in Hannover, I arrived in Berlin in January, and was confronted with a reality that although I had seen in movies, I had not imagined on my skin. And it was not only the cold, but the long nights that started at 4 pm. They were not nights, of course, they were dark evenings. But for me, coming from the heart of Argentina, the fact that at that hour the sun went down meant that the day had come to an end.
Nevertheless Berlin was still awake. At least until 7 pm its stores were inviting citizens and visitors to visit them and to shop.
That day I had decided to go to the other side of Berlin, the opposite side from where I was, I wanted to go to Viktoriapark (some other time I will share photos of the arc, because if I do it now, the post will be extremely long).
After touring Viktoriapark, I remember questioning myself about life and the path I was on, when suddenly, the Universe gave me a terrible message:
.
It was a restaurant with those words. And of course it was! I went in to eat there :D I ordered a tea with a salad, in my attempt to detoxify myself from the eating disorders I had made in Hannover.
As soon as I was done with lunch, I went on my way to explore a bit more of the huge city, and that day, since I was closer to the south side of Berlin, I went to Kirche am Südstern, which means South Star Church.
This is an evangelical church, which simply caught my attention because it was shown on the map as a rather busy spot.
I didn't enter the church because I wasn't interested in going in, but rather I was curious about what was around, and besides, as you will see in the pictures, it was getting dark.
I walked some more and again, went to the map and looked for the next busy place, just as if I was following the clues of some game. In a rather explorative method. I discovered in these months, that this is my preferred way of visiting, much more than having the listing pre-assembled. I always end up doing it, but I leave myself a couple of days to play with intuition at the new destination.
So thus, I discovered that a certain AdmiralBrücke bridge, was being the attraction for many people that evening in Berlin. And as the cloud-filled sky turned from light blue to bright white on that early winter night, I arrived at my new destination.
It turns out that this bridge is very famous for the scenery it offers at sunsets in the city, but that day the sun was hiding behind the clouds. However, the cobblestones and the lights reflecting off the drizzle-painted ground made it a beautiful place to stroll along.
That afternoon/evening, I was particularly happy. I don't quite remember why, to be honest, but I can see it on my face. I'm glad to see those pictures, as I was so cold in Berlin, that my biggest memory is wanting to get out of there to go back to the sun of Italy. But the truth is that today, walking through the photos, I suddenly remembered Germany very fondly.
If there is one thing I loved about the two cities I visited in Germany, it was the beautiful swans, which strolled peacefully and steadily along the different rivers, as you can see in the following photo.
Then, I walked along Admiralstrasse, where there was a photo exhibition of faces with only the eyes showing, and it was beautiful.
And at the end of this street, there was the monument Admiral with double of which I have not found information, but as soon as I saw it, I could not help but be amazed. It is an hourglass that marks the real time in Berlin, and the clock shows how second by second, the Northern Hemisphere falls on the Southern Hemisphere. Above the clock, there are two admirals watching.
After this, I continued on my way to the hotel and inevitably looked towards the AlexanderPlatz antenna. There, on the side of the Spree River, the antenna reminded you that you were walking through the center of Berlin.
I hope you liked this post friends!!!
Thank you so much for being here!!!!

Visita conmigo mis recuerdos de una noche en la zona de Kreuzberg, Berlín
Hace no mucho tiempo, en Diciembre del 2021, pisé por primera vez en mi vida suelo alemán. Fui confiada a sabiendas de que amaría el frío, pero claro, ignoraba lo que el invierno significaba en el poderoso país europeo.
Tras estar casi un mes en Hannover, llegué a Berlín en enero, y me topé con una realidad que aunque había visto en películas, no había imaginado en mi piel. Y no solo se trataba del frío, sino de las largas noches que empezaban a las 4 pm. No eran noches, claro, eran tardes oscuras. Pero para mí, que vengo del corazón de Argentina, el hecho de que a esa hora e sol se ocultara, significaba que el día había llegado a su fin.
Sin embargo Berlín seguía despierta. Al menos hasta las 7 pm sus comercios invitaban a los ciudadanos y visitantes a conocerlos y a comprar.
Aquel día había decidido ir a la otra punta de Berlín, al lado opuesto del que yo me encontraba, quise ir a Viktoriapark (en otro momento compartiré fotos del arque, ya que si lo hago ahora, la publicación será extremadamente extensa).
Después de recorrer Viktoriapark, recuerdo haber estado cuestionándome cosas sobre la vida y el camino que estaba transitando, cuando de pronto, el Universo me dio un mensaje terrible:
Se trataba de un restaurante con esas palabras. Y claro que sí! Entre a comer allí :D Pedí un te con una ensalada, en mi intento de desintoxicarme por los desórdenes que había hecho comiendo en Hannover.
En cuanto finalicé con el almuerzo, seguí mi camino para explorar un poco más de la enorme ciudad, y aquel día, ya que estaba más cerca del lado sur de Berlín, me fui hacia Kirche am Südstern, lo que significa Iglesia de a Estrella del Sur.
Se trata de una iglesia evangélica, que simplemente llamó mi atención porque en el mapa se mostraba como un punto bastante concurrido.
No entré a la iglesia porque no me llamaba la atención entrar, sino más bien estaba curiosa por lo que había alrededor, y además, coo verán en las fotos, estaba oscureciendo.
Caminé un poco más y nuevaemente, fui hacia el mapa y busqué el próximo lugar más concurrido, así como si estuviera siguiendo las pistas de algún juego. En un método bastante explorativo. Descubrí en estos meses, que esta es mi manera preferida de visitar, mucho más que tener el listado prearmado. Siempre lo termino haciendo, pero me dejo un par de días para jugar con la intuición en el nuevo destino.
Así que así, descubrí que un tal puente de AdmiralBrücke, estaba siendo la atracción para muchas personas aquel atardecer en Berlín. Y mientras el cielo repleto de nubes se tornaba de un celeste claro a un blanco brillante en aquella temprana noche invernal, llegué a mi nuevo destino.
Resulta que este puente es muy famoso por el paisaje que ofrece en los atardeceres de a ciudad, pero aquel día el sol se ocultaba tras las nubes. Sin embargo, los adoquines y las luces qe se reflejaban en un suelo pintado por la llovizna lo hacían igualmente un bello lugar por donde pasear.
Esa tarde/ noche, yo estaba particuarmente feliz. No recuerdo bien por qué, para ser sincera, pero puedo verlo en mi rostro. Me alegra ver esas fotos, ya que pasé tanto frío en Berlín, que mi mayor recuerdo es querer salir de allí para regresar al sol de Italia. Pero la verdad que hoy, paseando por las fotos, de pronto recordé a Alemania con mucho cariño.
Si hay algo que amé de las dos ciudades que visité en Alemania, fueron los hermosos cisnes, que paseaban tranquilamente y de manera constante por los diferents ríos, como podrán ver en la siguiente foto.
Luego, caminé por la calle Admiralstrasse, donde había una muestra de fotos de rostros en los que se veían los ojos solamente, y que era bellísima.
Y al final de esta calle, se encontraba el monumento Admiral with double de cual no he encontrado información, pero en cuanto lo ví, no pude dejar de sorprenderme. Se trata de un reloj de arena que marca la hora real de Berlín, y el reloj muestra cómo segundo a segundo, el Hemisferio Norte cae sobre el Hemisferio sur. Sobre el reloj, hay dos almirantes observando.
Después de esto, seguí mi camino hacia el hotel e inevitablemente miré hacia la antena de AlexanderPlatz. Allí, a un costado del Río Spree, la antena te hacía recordar que estabas atravesando el centro de Berlín.
Espero que les haya gustado este post amigos!!
Desde ya, muchas gracias por estar aquí!!
Con cariño,

They told me if I killed myself now it would save the lives of countless others.
Saying the longer I wait to kill myself the more people will suffer.
They are reckless and should have shown the proper media what they had before taking me hostage for 5 years. I know there are many in prison that dont deserve to be there because of this. Your stay in prison will not be fun @battleaxe and friends. People are going to want you dead when they find out what you did. I hope you die a slow painful death. You sick mother fuckers.

Its a terrorist act on American soil while some say its not real or Im a mental case. Many know its real. This is an ignored detrimental to humanity domestic and foreign threat. Ask informed soldiers in the American military what their oath is and tell them about the day you asked me why. Nobody has I guess. Maybe someone told ill informed soldiers they cant protect America from military leaders in control with ill intent. How do we protect locked up soldiers from telling the truth?

Looks like there's a lot to see in Kreuzberg. Even thouhg it looks cold, I think it's nice to walk out and explore things over there. The area seems to be more beautiful in the evening.
Heheh yes. But… cooold hehehe. I’m not a big fan of low temperatures, lol. Anyway as you said and as you can see, yes, it is a very beautiful area to explore even in winter 😊
It's a shame you didn't have more fun there, maybe you just needed warmer clothes???
Beautiful pictures by the way, so much history there♥️
