    the cut off

    So today, 14.12.2025, the “biggest timetable change in Zürich” happened—and with it, our cut-off from the city centre… well, at least by tram. The tram lines we rely on—the 4, 13, and 17—can no longer cross Bahnhofquai, as the station is being refurbished and made more accessible. For the next year, we either walk to the other side of…

  • Calatrava meets Calatrava

    Calatrava meets Calatrava

    It’s almost finished—the new Haus zum Falken, right at Stadelhofen Station. Santiago Calatrava actually began his career here in Zurich, and Stadelhofen Station was one of his earliest works. Now, decades later, he’s returned to add a new feature to the station’s exterior: Calatrava meets Calatrava. I have to say, I like it a lot. The…

  • Susanne Bartsch

    Susanne Bartsch

    Sometimes inspiration comes in unexpected forms—or, in this case, in an unexpectedly fashionable way. While flicking through TV channels (yes, old-school live TV), I stumbled upon a documentary about Susanne Bartsch. I have to admit, I’d never heard of her before—shame on me, given she’s a legendary gay ally and a fierce supporter during the AIDS crisis.…

  • THE PHARCYDE (US) at Alte Kaserne

    THE PHARCYDE (US) at Alte Kaserne

    Tony texted me a couple of weeks ago: “Buddy, what are you up to on the 25th of October? There’s a concert you might like…”  And yes—he was right! Real old-school hip-hop is always a good night out! and sorry for the blurry pics, it was very bouncy!

  • Around the Station

    Around the Station

    A little Sunday stroll around Zürich’s main station—then I spotted a different kind of train getting ready.  Turns out it’s bound all the way to Istanbul! Not your everyday train around here. They even had a welcome lineup from the crew, complete with a saxophonist playing as passengers boarded. Route: Zürich – Salzburg – Ljubljana –…

  • “Foto” Walk Zürich

    “Foto” Walk Zürich

    It was a very rainy start to the first photo walk in Zurich—a global event organised by the new app “Foto” (go check it out!). https://fotoapp.co One other side note: We met the “pigeon lady” at Lindenhof. She is the caretaker of the pigeon tower, cleans it, feeds the birds, and has been doing so for the last…

  • Radar Festival 2025

    Radar Festival 2025

    What a night! At the Radar Festival in Zürich you can discover new music on live stages like nowhere else – 9 locations and 23 acts! We experienced the raw energy of Teenage Dads (AUS), the cinematic presence and incredible voice of Goldie Boutilier (CAN), intimate moments with Chartreuse (UK), wild sounds and unapologetic sex…

  • Zollstrassen Fest

    Zollstrassen Fest

    For the first time, we had a little street festival here at our street. It was pretty fun — and they even had roller skates! 🙂

  • Street Parade 2025

    Street Parade 2025

    Once a year, Zurich brings its techno culture out into the daylight – it’s Street Parade!!! Up to one million people gather in the streets to dance and enjoy life to the fullest! I usually bring my camera along, just to capture the pure craziness and colorful energy of it all.
