Until recently it was an unsightly spot, a squat for the down-trodden. One could see its potential as well as guess the work that it would need for a shiny recovery. But a few days ago the old Stettin train station just behind the Nordbahnhof on Julie-Wolfthorn-Strasse 1 did indeed open its gates again to the public. Two huge buddhas – due [...] Continue Reading…
