Studying Berlin is like reading a dictionary: while all that you need is a single definition, once youve opened the volume, hours or days later you might still find yourself happily hopping from one entry to another.
In fact, to anyone prepared to ask questions and look closer, Berlin soon grows to feel like a whole dictionary section at the state library.
No wonder then it proved to be an impossible task to fit all the historical facts and anecdotes gathered over several years of writing my Kreuzberged blog into just one volume.
So for all those who enjoyed the first book, Notmsparkers Berlin Companion or I didnt know that about Berlin, and those who never tire of discovering and learning new, lesser-known facts from this citys past, here is another installment of curious stories and forgotten tales straight from the treasure trove of your Berlin Companion.
