#ThrowbackThursday #TBT 4 years ago today we attended a small arts festival in the #Salbke neighbourhood of #Magdeburg. You might remember the little Peng graffiti I shared a while back, where I mentioned some details about this structure: #LesezeichenSalbke ("Salbke Bookmark"). Built in 2009, it served as an open-air library and book-crossing spot (until that was discontinued due to vandalism), a venue for small events, and a noise barrier for locals. It even won awards, including the #EuropeanPrizeForUrbanPublicSpace! As it turns out, the small concert at Lesezeichen Salbke that I mentioned in my old post was happening on October 30, 2021 and I took a photo! 😂

A mini #Peng in #Magdeburg #Salbke 🔍

This structure is the #LesezeichenSalbke, or "bookmark" ("Salbke" is the name of the neighbourhood). It was built in 2009 as an open air library (and bookcrossing spot), a venue for small events, and a noise barrier for the locals. It even won some awards (like the #EuropeanPrizeForUrbanPublicSpace)!

Sadly, it's a popular spot for vandalism too, so since 2015, there are no more books here. What a shame, it is such a beautiful concept! And I feel stupid now, because I learned all of this only an hour ago. 😅 I did see a small concert a few years ago here! But it was already dark and short, so I didn't see much of the Lesezeichen at the time.

When I passed by in May to take photos of #PengMagdeburg, it looked rather sad and run-down, but I should have spent more time to take it in. Well, next time!

#FotoVorschlag: #Wandbild // #Mural

Ein lokales Häppchen muss auch noch sein wegen der schönen Farben. Und der verdorrten Moosbuchstaben. Ein Wandbild im Viertel #Salbke in Magdeburg // Adding a local mural too, because the colours are so nice and the shrivelled up mossy letters caught my eye. It's a mural in #Magdeburg's Salbke neighbourhood
