Fresh Fruit for Friedrichshain

Friedrichshain shoppers can satisfy their aesthetic sensibilities as well as their delicate palates at the new Frische Paradies Lindenberg, designed by local practice Robertneun, which opened today in Eldenaer Straße. The architects derived their inspiration from the ubiquitous EuroPallet (800 by 1200 by 120 mm), however, there is until now no word as to whether EPAL has approved this whimsical tribute.

Devaluation Kit

Hamburg's anti-gentrification group Es regnet Kaviar has created a do-it-yourself devaluation kit designed to keep your street safe from the depredations of the nouveau riche.

Life on the Line

Local eye Auguststrasse dolefully reports that one of the last remaining open lots in the Spandauer Vorstadt will soon be filled in with another project catering to those with deep pockets. The corner of Linienstraße and Rückertstrasse will soon be the site of Gewers and Partner's white walled box Wohnhaus Linienstraße. Blueprints and cloying photos are available at the sales agents CONCEPT BAU - PREMIER, who are located down in Munich, a safe distance away from our anti-gentrification class war battalions.
