Happy Birthday Bach!!

21st of March 2012 by Christina

Cake and singing and throngs of well wishers marked Bach’s birthday today.  Mayor Burkhard Jung was on hand to cut the cake, which was apparently in the shape of a violin.  By the time we got there, it had been decimated somewhat….

A big sing-along to wish Bach a Happy Birthday....

Second hand clothes store: Garderobe im Westwerk

21st of March 2012 by Christina

Hello, we’d just like to share with you a great tip for saving money on the clothes front.  Garderobe im Westwerk has 160 sqm of second hand clothes to be had at bargain prices.  The location is also pretty special; the first floor of what was an old metal foundry which is now home to a host of artists and entrepreneurs, rather like its more famous neighbour – the Spinnerei.

Garderobe also has costumes for hire….for that special occasion, and of course if you have stuff to sell, donate then head over there also.  On your way, you can enjoy the many cafes and little shops which have been springing up all along Karl-Heine-Strasse over the last few years.

....they even have a cute corner for making repairs...should they be necessary - though, obviously, its best to bring cleaned things which are not damaged!
