40 years back from now

2008.10.10
1968 - reading the "weltatlas" at home

August 1968 - "ringelreihn" on my 6. birthday

gosh, we had fun with some pretty stupid games!

1968 - birthday races with bikes; the winner got some sweets - while the garages in the background are still not completed.

1968 - walking up to my first day at school

the school yard full of 1st timers and their parents

1968 - walking home with my sister after my 1st day of school - the "schultüte" was full of sweets.

1968 - karin w. and her first class (1c) - can you find me?

1968 - school work... we were pretty randomly seated around these tables

1969 - next birthday, school friends oktay, antje, annegret at our home... and my brother jörg (3) and my sister heike (5) were there, too.

this thingie is a "murmelbahn" (some kind of marble toy) which could occupie us for hours.

1971 - not sure who is on this picture aside of my mother, brother and sister. we made these frequent winter walks along the (inner) border of west-berlin; everywhere these signs warning you not to walk into the "todesstreifen" (death stripe)

1973 - with friends at home... probably watching TV - that was the first year we had one, and it was usually locked

1974 - in school, break time running around

1974 - karin w., our very young and amazing teacher

1974 - our classroom, grundschule am beerwinkel, 6c - that board just never was accurately wiped

1974 - school class room discussion

1974 - birthday at home - note the modern stereo in the background (i think it was a braun)

1974 - antje w.

1974 - henri k.

1974 - karin w.

1974 - karin w. - i think she was annoyed that i constantly made pictures of her *grins*

1974 - oktay y.

1974 - oktay y. - we sat there a lot at my "desk" in corner of my father's office room, listening to our first beatles CD's and reading comics


1974 - some professional photographer came into our school, making a portrait of each of us for our final school gathering... i believe we were free to choose the pose, and i chose reading a comic... ;-)

1974 - class 6c with same teacher as class 1c; last group picture... can you find me now?

1974 - in the garden at home; right after school was over




this is probably the only time i'll ever fully use my 30 pictures limit here - well, it's for a good purpose: on friday, i'll be flying home to berlin to meet my old school buddies (including our absolutely fabulous young teacher karin!); celebrating the 40th anniversary of our school enrollment in berlin-spandau, grundschule am beerwinkel.

i'm looking sooo much forward to it! :-)
