Florian @siepert.bsky.social · 20/03/2025Konrad Wachsmann, heavily influenced by Bauhaus, developed a modernist take on wooden houses in the 1920s. Over 100 were built in the Saxonian town of Niesky. Rural Germany would look so hot today if the Nazis hadn’t stopped the whole thing. 070
Florian @siepert.bsky.social · 14/03/2025First outing to Dong Xuan centre for steamed buns for Osh today. 040
Florian @siepert.bsky.social · 03/03/2025This is not just a terrible opinion piece. “Resign” now has all the hallmarks of a campaign that’s useful for both US & RUS: 1) A Yanukovych/Lukashenko style sock puppet gets installed 2) War is over 3) Ukraine remains independent on paper. 050
Reposted by FlorianAnnalena Baerbock @albaerbock.bsky.social · 28/02/2025Ukraine is not alone. Germany together with our European allies stands united alongside #Ukraine - and against the Russian aggression. Ukraine can build on unwavering support from Germany, Europe and beyond. Their defence of democracy & their quest for peace & security is ours. 23576541847
Florian @siepert.bsky.social · 28/02/2025In recent weeks there was a lot of concern about Trump withdrawing the 78,000 US troops stationed in Europe. Not hard to imagine the day now where the concern is about 78,000 US troops being in Europe under Trumps command. 050
Florian @siepert.bsky.social · 28/02/2025I’d also like for Merz to take a long hard look at his timeline for getting a functioning German government in place by Easter. The election’s timing wasn’t his fault, but this country needs to be able to deal with and lead on unprecedented major issues now. 030
Florian @siepert.bsky.social · 28/02/2025Hugely proud of Zelensky. A president with morals and balls of steel. I fully expect Musk to switch off Starlink now though, and I hope there is a European solution to that problem in the wings. 081
Florian @siepert.bsky.social · 25/02/2025A day so wet and dreary I had an entire mountain to myself. 040
Florian @siepert.bsky.social · 23/02/2025Not only a very busy but also incredibly pretty polling station in Erich Mendelsohn’s 1930 metal worker’s union building. 290
Florian @siepert.bsky.social · 06/02/2025Lots of fog, foraging wild watercress and a 12th century cathedral that looks surprisingly Andalusian: a day in Königslutter. 030
Florian @siepert.bsky.social · 06/02/2025Hadn’t been to a show in ages but this was enormously entertaining last night, all smiles and moshpits. 040
Florian @siepert.bsky.social · 29/01/2025The German-Italian intersection for contemporary objects. 150
Florian @siepert.bsky.social · 28/01/2025Niche question: St John trotter gear, but with veal foot instead of trotters. Advisable, needs adjustments, don’t do it? 110
Florian @siepert.bsky.social · 25/01/2025Glad someone came up with a cocktail to sum up this week. 040
Florian @siepert.bsky.social · 23/01/2025The week in pictures. Breaking down a wild boar, soaking up the atmosphere at Skaska’s football ground, the Sorbian cemetery in Ralbitz. 031
Florian @siepert.bsky.social · 16/01/2025Baked a loaf of wholemeal rye and wheat bread to comply with requirements for German passport holders. 0111
Florian @siepert.bsky.social · 02/01/2025A very unplanned dinner success with NYE leftovers: chicken heart flatbread. 4120
Florian @siepert.bsky.social · 06/12/2024On the other app I would occasionally review terrible beer labels, Polish outfit Bytow now force me to take a different approach as their label design is just very lovely. 472
Florian @siepert.bsky.social · 06/12/2024I’m glad the Guardian is finally telling the story of the trailblazer who was first to pose with a fish for his Tinder profile. 130
Reposted by FlorianLiam Collens @itsliamcollens.bsky.social · 04/12/2024Team Menu (my dog whistle to those who love a menu), Consorzio’s focused menu bares repeated themes of heart, bone marrow and Piemonte’s gutsy cuisine style. I wanted the risotto, the sweetbreads, the steak and more. We ordered other dishes but I want to come back for the others. Prices? Reasonable. 021
Florian @siepert.bsky.social · 03/12/2024Let’s play “cereal brand or man who hopes that the train CCTV review comes back inconclusive”. Round 1: 040
Florian @siepert.bsky.social · 03/12/2024December 3rd, time for the very last tomato from my balcony to ripen. 0141
Florian @siepert.bsky.social · 25/11/2024Biang Biang in Steglitz have the most beautiful nostalgic menu (no endorsement as I haven’t yet eaten there, but still). 060
Florian @siepert.bsky.social · 24/11/2024Bossam and oyster kimchi at Seoul Kwan is a magical dish. 3100
Florian @siepert.bsky.social · 24/11/2024The Invaliden cemetery is quite something. Mega goth military top brass graves, the Red Baron and his studio flat sized nazi headstone, and the wall running right through it all. 040
Florian @siepert.bsky.social · 23/11/2024Lanzhou Beef Noodles. Very good noodles. Very ok other components. Very annoying that they accept cards but make guests beg multiple times before doing so. So tired of this. 1110
Florian @siepert.bsky.social · 22/11/2024New Underworld remix for Brutalismus 3000 out today. They’re playing Berghain together tonight, I’d quite like to put on a balaclava and reebok classics and commit random acts of hooliganism now. youtu.be/GVjR9mrdlNw?...youtu.beBrutalismus 3000 - alleswirdgut (Underworld Remix) (Official Video)YouTube video by Brutalismus 3000 141
Florian @siepert.bsky.social · 21/11/2024Happy Bojo Nouvo day to those who celebrate and especially to those who can tell me if there’s a bar in Berlin that will have more than just Lapalu‘s BN tonight. 030
Florian @siepert.bsky.social · 20/11/2024Since we’re back to posting our dinners as the forefathers commanded us to, here is an extremely elaborate venison loin, black pudding puree, two sauces and salsify number. 4122
Florian @siepert.bsky.social · 25/11/2023Having a bottle of this with a fantastic friend tonight, very much Burgundy by the sea. 021
Florian @siepert.bsky.social · 24/10/2023I have no idea how this is possible, but Lidl have just stocked a 19 Junge Winzer pinot noir at 6.99 and it tastes like a northern Burg three times the price. Please, do yourself a favour and buy a lot of it if you can. 180
