Snow is bright in Swiss mountains, less so in Berlin, Germany, these days.
Local politics appear foggy, yet clarity emerges with forthcoming federal elections and local decisions being made: with the Gleisdreieck project called `Urbane Mitte neu denken: Bebauungsplanverfahren ergebnisoffen gestalten`, Berliners seek consensus in their fight for communal rights. The bike path Berlin-Leipzig is just one of the various most relevant actions being discussed towards the second half of 2024. At the end of the day, Berlin will have to continue to fight against all ecological harm that the city`s land-use plan may cause. The communal group at Gleisdreieck will continue to connect with neighbours and initiatives on both ends of the park, be it Kreuzberg, Mitte (Tiergarten Süd) or Schöneberg. With more than 30.000 supporters, the Petition against the `Urbane Mitte` continues its path of efforts. The same applies to fundraising initiatives the action group Gleisdreieck e.V. prepares against possible claims with regards to the land-use plan Urbane Mitte: `weiter so` we say, for 2025!

There is quite a lot to DO here in Berlin at grey and somewhat cold November days, such as visiting one of the many museums like the New National Gallery, or the new ´museum of exile` at Anhalter Bahnhof under Herta Mueller`s patronage, see https://stiftung-exilmuseum.berlin/en.
Sad stories on the city of Solingen (Bergisches Land, NRW) around a seemingly knife-carrying potential assassin who had lived nearby in an Asylum location nearby: his quest for refuge had been rejected earlier. Such news appear like fire and oil for an obviously ill-informed German society that too easily jumps into generalisation of realities hardly being digested.
