When Luigi cooks,

then we were just too lazy to choose one for our kitchen from the appreciable collection of tried and tested Italian pasta dishes.

Despite a few decades of bubbling pasta in our own pot, we still find out every time we visit, behind the glass facade of the Gusto del Sud restaurant: Luigi just has it on.

Brühl Tourism: Discovering Max Ernst life stations with your smartphone

Augmented Reality for use in public spaces

They are all curious about the new view of images and texts that merge with the actual, visible world in the Max Ernst circuit on the screen of a smartphone, as if they were part of it. “Augmented Reality” is what happens, translating as much as “extended reality”.

Lifelong passion for the cross-stroke – the illustrator Jan Hillen

As an "erftstricher" the illustrator in the old town of Kaster initially caused confusion

When he puts his public stopper in front of the door on Sundays in the main street 27, his house quickly fills up with art-enthusiastic excursionists, jan Hillen explains. For this type of running clientele, who both populated kitchen and exhibition space on the ground floor, he provided original drawings and reproductions in all possible sizes from posters to "postcards directly from the producer" in the "Atelier Jan Hillen" for sale.

Regardless of religion, belief and party politics – "hab8cht"

In fact, I had decided not to resonate with politics in close-up. On the other hand, I find the attributes that this association from the Kolping city of Kerpen has written as a motto on the flag or rather in the flyer quite desirable for its own reporting: regardless of religion, belief and party politics. Since, I simply could not resist publishing this text on the visit of Jörg Eichenauer in Horrem in the run-up to the local elections, even if I do not like the soldier-appellative in the naming of your democracy association at all. If you want to shout, "Stir."
