Tempelhof: Taking Off on Two Wheels

Posted on 4 July 201931 July 2019by Marcel Burger
tempelhof

There are only a few airports in the world that can compete with old Berlin Tempelhof when it comes to writing history.

Lessons not learned. Two years after a loose train container killed 8 people on a passing train on the Big Belt Bridge in #Denmark, a similar incident occurred yesterday. Same bridge, same DB Cargo, similar Carlsberg beer freight. Fortunately this time no serious accident.

About me

In 2006 I left my family, friends and the security of a relatively steady editorial job in the Netherlands to move to Sweden, for love. A heartbreak later I’m still around – having crisscrossed like crazy through my new land to make a travel guide book, adding a new career as a language teacher at elementary and lower secondary schools, becoming a freelance Scandinavia correspondent & fixer for Belgian and Dutch media. From Sweden I pop across the Baltic Sea, often to Poland where I sometimes live and work from.
