Geisterspuk in the lagoon.

For centuries, tourists loved almost to death, Venice still harbors secrets. Three tours tell of the lesser-known facets of the lagoon city: from restless ghosts, hidden gardens and the first Jewish ghetto in the world.

 

Venice of the Ghost: From Wiedergängern and matricide

Panting strives a man stooped over the empty Campo. Whether he is the spirit of Bartolomio Zenni is? Des miserly IMF, the 1437 fire at a neighbor instead of the children prefer to be rescued goods and chattels, and since his death with a heavy sack on his back around to? No, probably not. The Lord of the dark place it is by his dachshund on a leash next move, he barely behind. But what is it there? Cross the bridge, a narrow shadow flits. One of the fairies with goat feet, the wealth, but also the death can bring?

If it is night in Venice, then feel sensitive to the presence of the souls of deceased long ago - and everyone will enjoy the showers, which the legends of the ancient city back to them on the hunt. When the darkness comes, then the streets in the orange glow of the street lamps as in candle light. The outpouring of thousands of tourists throughout the day on St Mark's Square Brandet, has ebbed, the noise of the water taxis on the Canal Grande silenced. Only whisper and quiet laughter, steamed dishes rattling and soft music waft over the scraps of crumbling facades.

In the more than 1500 years since its founding, the lagoon city Gorgeous spawned, yet here was hated and murdered, betrayed and deceived, enslaved and fought - enough material for hours of horror stories. Andrea tells them with devotion to the city tour "Venetian legends": "? And then wandered the man with the heart of his mother in the hand over the bridge there," the 25-year-old student shows the Rio dei Mendicanti, "and crashed. The heart said to him: 'Did you hurt? " - Because he understood that he murdered his own mother had crashed into the lagoon and drowned. "

THE STAR IS THE CITY

Andrea makes a dramatic pause. "Seen it all had Cesco Pizzigani. A stone in the 15th century, the facade of the Scuola de San Marco Evangelista created, but later as a beggar before the portal closed." He points to scores in the entrance arch of the Scuola, which clearly represent a figure: "He scratched a figure in stone, with a heart in his hand." The Venetians is the evidence enough for the atrocity over 500 years. And convince doubting perhaps the plaintive cries, at night on the Campo before Basilica San Zanipolo sound. The spirit of this young man still looks at the heart of his mother. In any event, says Andrea.

The channel is howling suddenly a boat to the waves splash against the walls. The small group frightens together. After two hours of stories of murder and self Wiedergängern on Satanism and betrayal is the peaceful Venice to become ghost train. What does the mere whimper behind the Basilica? Is it really the body of the treasonous Doge Marin Faliero, since 1355 after his beheading his head examined? The Moorish sculptures, then at the Palazzo Mastelli? Are not the merchants, the punishment for fraud have been turned to stone? On the way home is the old town is no longer the same.

Alligator in the rolls.

The typical residents of LA is considered to be aware of nutrition and sports. At the same time, the city is a stronghold of the hot dog culture. Moritz Piehler went out to find the best sausage rolls in town - for fans of diet is not suitable for his tour.

 

Tom Cruise was already there. Burt Reynolds and Barbara Streisand, too. And from the pictures on the walls look the grinning faces of countless other actors on the long snake down in front of Pink's "has been formed. At almost any time of day, the sausage-trailer en masse before the cult of hot dog stands in Los Angeles in the La Brea Avenue, for a Hot Dog "Lord of the Rings" (with many extra onion rings), or an extra-long "Rosie O'Donnel Long Iceland Dog "to order. Behind the bar staff scurry around between six huge pots full of sauerkraut, ketchup and Senfspendern and, of course, the steaming sausages in various designs. Pink's is the culmination of a hot-dog-tour through the city.

A Hot Dog is perhaps the most American of all snacks. It combines fast food, business efficiency and flexibility. In the U.S. there is a persistent dispute over her mother city of the snacks. Like in Germany is a dispute about the best currywurst between Berlin and Hamburg a harmless culinary conversation within seconds in an angry word skirmish transform can be found in New York is not better the quality of hot dogs from Los Angeles to praise.

For a self-organized hot-dog-tour of Los Angeles, you must first of the huge amount of stalls choose must criteria such as location, tradition and evaluation in online rankings into consideration. And of course the capabilities of one's own stomach, because even if a hot dog usually more of a snack than a meal, is the mass of bread and meat in the long run not to be underestimated.

Brat Brothers in lederhosen

Actually, it would be appropriate to the baseball stadium, the LA Dodgers to begin. Indeed, hardly anything is so closely linked with the self-image of American popular culture as hot dogs and baseball. But the ticket price would be in no relation to the sausage rolls are enjoyment. Therefore, the tour begins at the "Brats Brothers", the German tradition with their advertising. Proudly introduce themselves to their signs as "according to European standards trained butchers" before.

The two branches in Los Angeles are rather unremarkable from the outside, inside with some accessories such as Bavaria German flag and provide beer mugs. Roland, the younger brother Brat, is himself on the grill, he has in Munich, studied engineering and retired after his brother Peter, together with the idea for the gourmet hot dog stand developed. "I did not want to just sit at home. And the German sausages have given me has always tasted the best," says Roland, who, unlike the picture on the label of the store suggests, is not working in lederhosen.

With an ordinary German bratwurst stand Brats Brothers have little in common, so special is its range of variations. Classics are obviously also in the repertoire, but among the more than 20 different hot dogs bite especially exotics into the eye. The brothers have variants such as buffalo hot dogs or even ostriches and alligators hot dogs in mind.

In a whole battalion uniform hides bottles honey and chili ketchup, hot and sour sauce for any special request. Some of the leaflets are evidence of the German roots of the owners, sauerkraut and potato salad complete the meal. The ingredients are the brothers of the audience, all hot dogs are free of flavor enhancers, an important selling point in a nutrition and körperbesessenen city like Los Angeles.

Hollywood culture in the railway wagon

In much enterer prominent position is the "Carneys", a traditional hot dog and burger dinner directly on the famous Sunset Boulevard. Carneys is stylish in an old railway wagon located. The audience are families and firefighters, as well as movie stars and luxury tourists, in the trendy design hotel, "The Standard" to live.

The view of the Sunset Boulevard by Zugfenster the yellow wagon is hard to beat. The restaurant, founded in 1968 and part of the Hollywood culture, will also be limited strictly to the basics. Five different hot dogs will be offered with two sausage varieties and traditional ingredients: relish, onion, cheese and chili.

In Carneys believes is not much of wild culinary excursions into uncharted territory and will be rewarded. In the last year chose the residents of Los Angeles their hot dogs to the best of the city. Since then, the employees with even greater pride, the shirts with the little modest slogan "probably the best hot dogs in the world."

Toolkit for the perfect snack

New on the market is the "Skoobie's", which established the supremacy of the Hot-Dog-Koriphäen seriously threatened. The situation in the middle of the Amüsiermeile of Hollywood Boulevard makes for a not-so-illustrious audience that night, the Feierwütigen from nearby clubs. The narrow space is hardly reached the charm of an average-Ruhrpott Frittenbude. But in the travel bible Lonely Planet is the Skoobie's already tight competition on the heels.

Although the atmosphere at the souvenir shops and fast-food restaurants is adjusted, the Skoobie's own qualities. The special feature is the self-produced chips, to which a special Aioli sauce is served. Customers show their sausage bread itself, the extras for a self-built Hot Dog are available free of charge.

But for all the free ingredients should not now be cut to very strictly, because the conclusion of the tour still waiting for the Pink's: an icon of the hot dog stands, a family-run company since 1939, which deals with pride, not only the best chilli hot dog in the world, but also the first choice of Hollywood stars to be. The state was founded by Paul Pink, so the legend, in the depression following 1929 cheap food among the people to bring. And even in the economically uncertain times of today's America, the hot dogs, numerous customers.

Prominent British plant vegetables against fliers.

Heathrow should get a third runway - but now land Environmentalists a coup, which crosses all the plans you have land acquired for the expansion is needed. Celebrities like the actress Emma Thompson is determined to live their plot.

 

London - The pilot of his hastily rolling suitcases through the hall attracts, amusedly shaking his head. "What is going on here?" He asks a police officer. The looks at himself in disbelief the invasion in Terminal 1 at London's Heathrow airport. Costumed characters drawn in a polonaise from the check-in counters along, sitting on the floor with people Tupper cans and picnic, as they are sitting somewhere in the green and not under the cold fluorescent light of the departure hall.

"Stop Airport Expansion" on their T-shirts read, while others wear sashes with the slogan "Trains, not planes." From time to break them in voice choirs from: "No third runway" - no third runway.

Tamsin Omond Mittendrin bounces like a rubber ball around. The 24-year-old is behind this "flash mob" on Monday evening, the airport sober for an hour and a half into a circus arena has changed. The founder of the activist group Climate Rush "is one of the main characters in the fight against the expansion of Europe's largest airport. "We will stop the government," she says breathlessly.

It is the week of the decision. Everything indicates that the Cabinet of Prime Minister Gordon Brown to build a third runway and a sixth terminal will decide. The number of flights will be by 2030 from 480,000 to 720,000 per year. Otherwise Heathrow could compete in the global hubs not keep up, warns of airport operator BAA. It is not about England tourists, but the intercontinental business with transients between America, Europe and Asia.

No instruction possible

Residents and environmentalists run storm. They do not want to accept the fact that prior to their doorstep Umsteigeplatz of the world arises.

The resistance is huge and bears the characteristics of a genuine citizens' movement. The conservative Tories are fighting side by side with the Greens and Greenpeace, on the other hand, industry, trade unions and the Labor government. The runway opponents want to prefer building a fast train network modeled after the German ICE or French TGV invest. They call for a new train from London Eurostar St Pancras station via Heathrow to Manchester and Leeds, the big cities in the north of England.

Omonds life revolves around a year ago the opposition to Heathrow. When the Parliament debated on the expansion, she was one of the activists on the roof of the Houses of Parliament and climbed a banner entrollten. The airport was by far the biggest polluters of Britain, she says. By the third runway would reduce CO2 emissions from 17 million to 28 million tonnes per year. Who wants to fight climate change, will have to begin with Heathrow.

Emma Thompson wants to grow vegetables

British Airways chief Wille Walsh countered until the third runway was in operation - target is 2020 - would be 55 percent fewer planes emitting carbon dioxide. But the climate argument lit many British one. Under the leadership of Greenpeace, a number of prominent country on the planned runway purchased for the plans to stop.

London-Heathrow Airport: Protest against third runway

The comedian Alistair McGowan, among others through his parodies of David Beckham and Tony Blair became known, said the expansion Heathrows was as if "Gordon Brown a giant torch to the polar caps and say: 'melts, melts".

A year ago, Greenpeace, the coup prepared. "We have provided a refuge for donkeys to build," said a spokesman, according to "Guardian". The parcels should be sent to as many people in as many areas of the world are sold, so the buyback for BAA will be lengthy and expensive. Up to 4000 people could be at the end of the country in the size of half a football field possess. However, Greenpeace is also pleased to have early. According to BBC News "There is a statutory scheme with which such tactical land purchases can be declared illegal.

The Prime Minister seems determined in any case, the implementation of the matter. "Brown will not umstimmen," says Alistair Lucocq in protest picnic in Terminal 1 "We have a recession, and we need every job. So he thinks."

Up to 65,000 new jobs promised by unions of the construction projects? a tempting for a Labor politician. But the costs are high. An entire village would have the soft landing. And the residents do not believe that this expansion would be the last. "They always do more," says an elderly woman in Terminal 1 "They will also want a seventh terminal." Therefore, it is now high time to draw a border. She was already on a number of protest events. Once they were around the fence of Heathrow marches, she says. Another time the demonstrators had a big "No" on a roll-shaped box.

Even after the decision of the government, which should fall this week, the resistance will therefore continue. Observers predict a year-long tug of war. London Mayor Johnson, a prominent Tory, has already announced, against the expansion before the court to consider. Omond is convinced: "The government will say yes. But the runway will be built not."

On the trail of wanderlust.

Researchers reports from a vacation trip to Italy and brochures from the Nazi era: The tourism archive of the Berlin Willy Scharnow Institute gathered numerous documents relating to the wanderlust of the Germans. Now expects the head Hasso Spode the death of his treasures.
  Berlin - Colorful brochures from the Nazi era, the first directory Heilbäder Germany and ancient Guides from distant countries: the archives of the Willy-Scharnow Tourism Institute at the Free University of Berlin store incredible treasures. 400 meters shelf crammed with books, studies, some 50,000 brochures and other documents relating to the issue of tourism.
"It is a unique archive, which makes it in Europe in this form again," says the tourism researcher and head of the archive, Hasso Spode. But that could soon be past. Finally, the Institute will in a few months. This is also the threat from the archive. It is still unclear what will happen with him.
From the outside the building can not guess what is hidden inside it: A modernized, more sober facades represent the Unibau on the street in the Maltese Lankwitz contemplative. In a former table tennis hall on the ground floor, however, behind doors hellbeigen, visitors can at least stay far away mentally.
Ordentlich sorted Baedecker guide from the 19th Century, for example, provide tips for trips to other European countries, a Ugandan promotional brochure from 1954 lures with exotic black-and-white images, and Walt Disney's book "Mysterious Steppe" is wild animals.
Fieldwork in Italy
On the other hand, are the loose papers at the edge of the area are stacked, and dreary little exciting. But this first impression is deceptive. After all, there are there the beginnings of tourism research: sociological studies from the fifties, the so bizarre titles such as "observation of a psychologist-wife during a company tour of Italy."
What it says is from today's strange, but was seriously operated field. On the one hand, there meticulously recorded how many hours the tourists in churches, museums and on the beach spent. On the other hand, the attraction descriptions attempt to travel to fathom - which is not always easy seemed like to read: "Nearly all participants groaning under the strain of travel: The long, arduous bus journeys in the glowing sun, the numerous visits and tours without adequate rest breaks , after the early start is often much too short night's sleep gives rise to complaints. "
ON THE INTERNET Willy Scharnow Tourism Institute, Berlin blogs ONLINE is not responsible for the content of external internet Seiten.Alle these decades has collected documents Hasso Spode with some employees meticulously sorted and tourism researchers from around the world made available. Since 1986 there have been numerous investigations, including the travel behavior of the GDR citizens, the offers of the Nazis and the question of why people have to travel.
"Tourism is a mirror image of society"
But it now lacks the money. The Academic Senate of the Free University decided in April, the Institute at 30 September 2009 to close. As a spokesman explained, was also the fact that Willy Scharnow Foundation for tourism in Frankfurt am Main their grants has greatly reduced. Even now, according to Tourism Research Spode no more students, because they do not study could end more.
Spode, still at the university teaches in Hanover, are now very worried about the future of his archives. He feared that it and its treasures after landing could be in bookstores. "That would be a tragedy," says Spode. Not only because of the collection. "Tourism is a mirror image of society, we can at him many political and socio-historical aspects of reading," finds the 57-year-olds. Without a central archive would be quite difficult.

Soup War of Marseille.

Once the poor man's food, luxurious Gourmandises today? in the secret capital of the Mediterranean Sea every restaurant boasts its bouillabaisse. But who cooks where the fish soup was invented, the best? A culinary search for truth between myth and Mistral. By Julia Rommel (text) and Michael Hauri (photos)
  It tastes awful. Neil speaks it is not sufficient, but his mouth drawn down angles make it more than clear. Neil is British, and you might think now, perhaps it is the question famously Marseilles soup in an Englishman is not really good. But Neil asserts, but love fish, especially Dorade, even bass.
His entire vacation he spends with seafood, sits in the Vieux Port, the Old Port of Marseille, on a folding chair and fishing, summer after summer, for years. If he was successful between sports boats, yachts and tour vessels, which are pushing railing to railing, he sells the fish continue to dealers on the market. Sometimes roasted his Fang himself on the grill.
But eingekocht to bouillabaisse? Better not. "Last year I was in a village east of the city to swim," he says, "and have a bit of fishing along. Only small fish would bite, I have always come back into the sea. Until a Frenchwoman came to me and asked why I do, but which were wonderful for the bouillabaisse. "
FOUND IN ... mareDie journal Marine Sonderheft KulinarikAktuelles Issue bestellenwww.mare.deEr puzzled highlights the shoulders. "So I have all minutiae in my bucket and it was to miss the evening where the fish are." Neil had no idea that the very small fish, which it en masse from the Mediterranean, the bouillabaisse its spicy flavor. And perhaps the Briton has always been just a cheap copy of the original eaten.
It is not difficult in Marseille. Around the Vieux Port to promote the tourist traps in the next Croque Monsieur restaurants, pizza and chips for a bouillabaisse from 15 euros. Like a song for a fish broth with padding sounds do not. At this rate, but is merely a kilo "soupe de roche" on the market, "rock soup" as the different, big fish finger mentioned. For these tiny distilled the broth of the bouillabaisse, plus a deposit Gurnard, dragon head, Peter Fish, Rotbarbe and monkfish. An exquisite selection of their high price.
"Ladies, the eye of St. Lucie!"
Where the basic substance is traded in the fish market at the Vieux Port, is the grand Michel Lubrano at. His 82 years in spite of it every morning on the same square on the Quai des Belges encountered. Behind a low table, he watches over shell jewelry and seahorses for two to seven euros each. "The bouillabaisse, the bouillabaisse," he says with a voice so hoarse, as if the brine over the years pitted his vocal chords, "that is the traditional soup of fishermen."
Lubranos shirt is too far for the schmächtige chest, a valve cap rises over the wrinkled forehead. He pinched his eyes against the bright morning sun, to the women vorbeischlendernden better look behind you, and suddenly begins to sing: "Pour faire une bonne bouillabaisse, il faut se lever de bon matin?", "For a good bouillabaisse must you up early. " The melody is just like a nursery rhyme, the Provencal Lubrano rolls R, after three lines of text omitted him, and he jumps to the chorus. "Ah, que c'est bon, la bouillabaisse! Ah, mon Dieu, que c'est bon, bon, bon!"
A few women are stopped, Lubrano stops immediately and returns to its core business: "Ladies, the eye of St. Lucie, a porte-bonheur, a Lucky Charms! If your men always tired at night," he umgarnt " then you take the good luck to take home. You'll see that he is suddenly wide awake. " A Mittvierzigerin pushes him a few coins in his hand, Lubrano throws them with a careless movement in a bucket under the table.
Until three years ago, he has between the islands Frioul and Chateau d'If caught outside the city, then he had to sell his four boats, "who is going to need a stick, on a boat has not lost". Of course, Nénette, his wife, formerly the bouillabaisse cooked. She learned from her mother, yet at times the Germans before them, and 3000 others from the fishermen's quarter Panier umquartierten in January 1943 and their houses wegsprengten to possible hiding places of Jews and resistance to light.
Nénette knows many species, the soup to boil. Onion, tomato, potato and fennel need it, saffron, garlic, a little pastis, the soupe de roche course. "But now I'm old," says Nénette, "that's too much work, and the fish that are needed, we can not afford." "A good cook bouillabaisse here any longer," added Lubrano, "eat in the restaurant." He points to make the mansions on the west side of the harbor. "For example, in yonder, Miramar '."
