Newly appointed Hertha coach Otto Rehhagel did not have an auspicious beginning in his new trainer’s job losing to lowly Augsburg, themselves candidates for relegation 3-0 on Saturday.

Well we wrote on the last blog about HERTHA the following -
“If we can believe German media reports then Bulgarian coach Krasimir Balakov may become the next manager at Hertha Berlin -the Bulgarian is prominent amongst other names like Thomas Doll and Ralf Rangnick, and even former German star Lothar Matthäus.”
Hertha Berlin FC have announced that the experienced and respected [...] Continue Reading…

If you want to break free from the moving pictures at the Berlin Film Festival at their Potsdamer Platz headquarters for a moment, you can venture past the Berlin Philharmonie over to the New National Gallery and be moved by the famously blurred paintings of the world’s number one artist Gerhard Richter.

If we can believe German media reports then Bulgarian coach Krasimir Balakov may become the next manager at Hertha Berlin -the Bulgarian is prominent amongst other names like Thomas Doll and Ralf Rangnick, and even former German star Lothar Matthäus.
Michael Skibbe’s very brief 7 week tenure as manager again added to the embarrassment of losing yet another manager within a [...] Continue Reading…

There is more to film than meets the eye. Out to prove this are Dieter Kosslick, Berlinale Director, and his cuisine team in the Culinary Cinema section of the Berlin film festival. Some critics, though, find a lot of cheese in this film fondue, they think this kind of kitchen brings kitsch to the cinema, see too strong an eventisation taking place [...] Continue Reading…

This weekend also saw millions of European citizens take to the streets in other cities to protest against the EU’s involvement with the controversial anti-piracy agreement called the ‘ACTA’ treaty [the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement ].
Poland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia governments have already delayed the ACTA treaty process and are under significant pressure from mostly young internet-savvy people and hopefully German reluctance [...] Continue Reading…

As a first live concert I have attended this year – this was a perfect choice and it is repeated this evening and tomorrow afternoon.

The orchestra [...] Continue Reading…

One not so oft played piece, but more [...] Continue Reading…
