Die Solidarität gibt Hoffnung, kann aber zur Falle werden

Die rassistischen Anfeindungen nach dem EM-Finale waren alarmierend. Aber die Reaktionen darauf erzählen von einer Fußballwelt, die dazugelernt hat – zumind

I love that I keep seeing more and more posts about Was ist dein Lieblingsfach but I want you to know that the rest of this godawful show that is Hallo aus Berlin is at least as entertaining:

I mean, just look at this. The animation. The acting. Whatever the hell the plot is. The fact that students in school have to look at it to learn German. This is art. Also, all of their songs are bangers:

“Am Tag als Conny Kramer starb” by Juliane Werding

This German cover of the Joan Baez song “The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down” was written by the 15 year old Werding in the 70s as drug use, and in turn drug-related deaths, began to skyrocket in Germany. When her friend, known only as Peter, became the first person to die from drug use in Essen, she composed this song. 

The song became a number one hit in Germany and remained in the top ten for 14 weeks. The song also launched Werding’s singing career.
