The term "land of poets and thinkers" is inextricably linked with German cultural history. Goethe, Schiller, Beethoven, Kant and Humboldt - these names stand for Germany's extraordinary intellectual and artistic flourishing in the 18th and 19th centuries. But what led to so many important minds working on German soil during this period? A...
When I was listening to an Alan Watts podcast the other day, he once again talked about the topic that there are no fronts without backs. However, as we already have a blog article on this topic, I would like to dedicate this one specifically to the interplay between this topic and the way social media works. Personally, I can think of...
A few months ago, a couple of friends and I discovered playing Dungeons and Dragons. It can be incredibly fun to slip into a role and go on adventures that don't exist in real life. During the last round, in which I acted as the Dungeon Master, I...
I recently had the pleasure of going on a hike through the Black Forest with my three brothers, from Gengenbach towards Alpirsbach.

The quickest possible route to my current job takes me through Karlsruhe's red light district. As I am a rather reserved person, I initially drove through the street looking straight ahead. Especially in the morning, the street is more than deserted, with only the occasional lady sitting in the windows. In the afternoon, when I return from work...
I recently came across a man in the city who was wearing a T-shirt with an inscription on it. It read the following quote: "Those who do not move do not notice their chains." Rosa Luxemburg I had to think a lot about this sentence in the hours that followed. When I got home later, I occupied myself with...
