This week for the #52weeksofburgers challenge, Fotostrasse munches around Kottbusser Tor at the famous Burgermeister. A few weeks ago, we went to the most famous burger place in Berlin, the Burgermeister at Schlesisches Tor, and we wanted to find out if their other venues are as delicious as that one.

The Court Pond, known in Dutch as the Hofvijver, is a gorgeous artificial lake in the center of The Hague. The surrounding area is the place where The Hague came to life for the first time, and this is the reason why we decided to spend some time taking pictures on its shores when we visited this great Dutch city back in the winter of 2019.

This week of the #52weeksofburgers Fotostrasse ventures to Markethalle Neun in Kreuzberg to eat (almost) straight from the cow at Kumpel & Keule, a butcher shop dedicated to bringing back the art of butchery. There you will find beautifully dry-aged meat and homemade sausages, this sounds kind of pretentious and very hipster-like, but as we found out, they do it pretty fucking well.

This week of our peculiar #52weeksofburgers challenge, we go to Reichenberger Straße and munch at Reichen Burger. We were, once again, not wanting to go so far, so we found this place that we never heard before, and it was a big “why not?”.

Today, in 2019, there are still plans to restore parts of it and even open a new pier in the original location. But all these plans were seen to be unrealistic by the West Pier Trust. But you can still go to the beach and sit between the last columns of the pier and watch the burnt down ruins of the West Pier in the distance. They don’t look that far, but, at the same time, they feel like they are a million miles away.

When I arrived at the Aerodynamic Park in Berlin-Adlershof by bike, the first thing I saw was the silver curves of the Big Wind Tunnel, a tubular system that measures between 8 and 12 meters in diameter. This was, also, built between 1932 and 1934 as a part of the German Research Institute of Aviation.

So, this week of the #52weeksofburgers challenge, we get lazy around Neukölln and go to Burgerzimmer IV. Very close to the Boddinstraße U-Bahn station is one of many Burgerzimmers around the city, the place is bigger than most and looks a lot like your regular donner shop. As usual, you order your food, and you grab it when it’s done.

Burgeramt was in our radar for a while, and we got there on a hot Thursday afternoon. The place is quite big, but summer is still here, and the area is famous for food, so we had to wait to get a table.

The Spreepark is an abandoned amusement park that has been laying abandoned close to the heart of Berlin for, at least, 15 years. When you enter the park and start walking around, you can see the remnants of the previous decades, and this is why this location is so unusual for people. From all the urban explorers that want to capture its decay to the hipsters that want to photograph something that looks cool.

Located in the hill south of Budapest, Memento Park seems to be the place that communist statues go to die. There, Lenin stands next to Karl Marx and Engels, together with crucial Hungarian communist leaders. All of this behind brick walls that make up a surreal and unique open-air museum that feels more authentic than most sights in the city.

It seems like the Cube House of Rotterdam is stranded above roads and stuck next to the harbor by the strong wind that blows from the sea. But this popular tourist attraction is also a bizarre architectural experiment and this is the main reason why we decided to spend some time there during a cold January afternoon.

This week for our #52weeksofburgers Fotostrasse explores one of the most famous burger places in Berlin; Burgermeister. This little burger venue under a bridge is legendary mostly because it is situated inside an old public toilet, and because of the enormous lines of hungry tourists that form by it.
