Semaine 43

Krumke
Gutsherrenpark

A place that is worth visiting every time is Krumke. There's always something to discover, something to enjoy.

Friedensteich
Wittenberge

What used to be outside the city a long time ago is now a worthwhile site to visit.

More details about the Krähenfuss reserve are available at BfN, Bundesamt für Naturschutz , and at the state of Brandenburg website, Landesamt für Umwelt , including a few maps.

Susy
Eigentrail

S. has been improving incredibly well at tracking my scent down to where the dummy is awaiting him. It's a means of giving him a job to do stimulating his senses and mind that can be well fitted in day to day life. That's why I like it dearly. S. seems to enjoy the chunk of cucumber he is rewarded.

Histoire RDA
Former military area and aerport Perleberg

I'd been curious to go explore that area for a while, so it was time to do it. The information I could obtain suggest that the origin of this area started around WWI as a military aerport, between 1910 and 1920, and in accordance to the Versailles agreement, it shut its doors until the 30s under Hitler when it was reactivated for military, airforce purpose. After WWII, it was used by the Svoviet armed forces, as a training and educational facility mainly, not only to train pilots, but also for ground forces. After the wall fell in 1990, not much was done. Located near the GDR border during cold war times, Perleberg and the nearby surroundings were closed to the civil people, I learnt from old people. Military activity was high, it seems.

What made me think that this could be the old fire station was the tower at the back that could allow to hang up and dry hoses. I found documents on the Internet suggesting that the fuelling used to take place in the vicinity of this building - which could support my thought.

That is a beautifully built building, with tiles on the ceiling and brickstone towers to the sides.

I enjoyed the sight of this technical aspect.

Some park

Random constructions
along federal road west of Wittenberge

where the new autobahn is set to be built, we came across some old constructions - one is supposed to be an old bycicle garage, the other one could be an old bus station.

Old military building
Festung Dömitz

I set off to visit Festung Dömitz, a very old military installation. Conveniently, I used the opportunity for a visit to Gorleben, a site of the anti-nuclear movement and heavy clashes between the government, its law enforcement and the activists.

No means no
Gorleben Salzstock und Zwischenlager

While this appeared to me as an happy place at first glance, the exhibition makes clear that this is also a place of pain, despair and violence, where people stood their ground and said no, and where law enforcement showed its fierce side.
