“And yet the other lesson from the world wars should not be forgotten: Peace is precious – and with it its climate of gender stars and snowflakes,” writes the historian Hedwig Richter in a “Zeit” article, in which she is also responsible for defending democracy. “If we forget this world of peace, if we call its discourses decadent, Putin, the enemy of freedom, would have won in many ways.”
I was happy to read that, because I’m also not sure what else is worth reporting and commenting on in wartime, especially in the local area, in the Berlinisch Kiezigen, which we depict with our newsletters from the twelve Berlin districts.
On the one hand, of course, we report on the help for the Ukraine and refugees (for example here in the Marzahn-Hellersdorf newsletter). On the other hand, what are currently supposedly minor issues remain important to us.
Especially since there are connections. For example in mobility, specifically on our roads. Here, politics at all levels, but also our everyday behavior, can contribute to making Russian energy supplies, which finance Putin’s war, dispensable.
“Fight Putin, ride a bike”, the saying came from a cyclist in England and became a social media meme. Sounds a bit exaggerated, but ultimately true.
Here are a few more topics that you will find in the current newsletter for Marzahn-Hellersdorf from the Tagesspiegel:

The Tagesspiegel newsletter, which you can order here free of charge, recently celebrated its fifth anniversary and is available for all twelve Berlin districts, with around 262,000 subscriptions. In it we inform you once a week in a bundled and compact way about what’s going on in your district. We also often let readers have their say in the newsletters, after all nobody knows Berlin’s neighborhoods as well as the people who live there.
