“Church architecture of the 1950s and -60s using the example of the three Zehlendorf “Südlicht” churches of the Ev. Communities of Schönow-Buschgraben, Zur Heimat and Stephanus and their organs – a little-noticed cultural era”.

This event was ably organised by my friend Horspeter Kreppel and his co-organiser Dieter Bünger. The two of them are obviously like a giant people magnet, because it was an astonishingly large group of people who met and walked from church to church, and the majority finished the day in Restaurant  Mühlengarten, Mühlenstr. 17, 14167 Berlin. A very interesting and pleasant day where nice new acquaintances were made. A lot of work must have gone into organising it, and to make it look so effortless is an art form :-).

We were also entertained, in more ways than one, by the three organists Klaus Treu, Mirlan Kasymaliev, and Harald Klaus.

And since the current assignment in the photography course I am attending is Camera Movement, here are a couple of whacky abstracts:
