"People need to watch what to have".

With the "Angel Flight", the height of the carnival in Venice began. In the costume competition occupied the German Tanja Schulz-Hess twice the first place. In blogs ONLINE interview, she reported on harassment of the jury - and told how they Berlusconi missed a long nose.

 

blogs ONLINE: There are countless costumes for the Carnival of Venice, you have already kreiiert. Is this Putzsucht?

Schulz-Hess: I can not deny that since the small Rampensau to their law. First and foremost I have fun doing. I like to see it as an idea to a finished garment, and developed its own personality. Of course I enjoy it even if I use the costume from Venice go, see how awesome the people are amazed, and then "Complimenti" and even say thanks.

blogs ONLINE: Your costumes are very expensive. Have you learned?

Schulz-Hess: No, not at all. Until today I can not make cuts, even sew a straight seam. If I touch a sewing machine, there is an accident. Last year, me with my Schuhnähkurs in London, even the machine broke - and I had warned the teacher! I work with a Hot Melt Glue Guns. So I stuck my wedding.

blogs ONLINE: Twice you have a German in first place in the costume competition won. How to find the Italians?

Schulz-Hess: The Italians have no problem. They are totally open, even the amateurs among the participants. On the other hand, the organizers would prefer to win the locals. But there are too few Italians who join, and only few Venetians. Most of them are Austrians, French and German. Last year the Committee has me virtually "banned" again to win.

blogs ONLINE: And? Stay tuned?

Schulz-Hess: No, of course not. It is said not to an Olympic winner, the next time that he may not participate. However, I think this year's competition rather discreetly hidden, and as some friends like to wear a costume wanted, I have nine costumes created for them. Like the look but I can not betray.

blogs ONLINE: Why so few Venetians take part? What do the Italians from the carnival?

Schulz-Hess: Most Venetians flee for skiing or somewhere else in order to escape the bustle. The Venetians have always had an ambivalent relationship with the tourists. Many live by the guests, but they are also very annoyed. In addition, one must not forget that Venice anyway only about 60,000 inhabitants.

blogs ONLINE: 2008, with "Luna Park", an amusement park as a dress, the year before as "La Montgolfiera" with a balloon on his head won?

Schulz-Hess: Yes, the golden substance, I have in a shop in Venice found. The Rock is half of our laundry basket and the balloon is a Chinese lantern with hair from the Afro-Shop. The headdress was 1.6 kilos and almost a meter high. It was me on the St Mark's Square with the Kopfdeko been widely seen.

Schulz-Hess: Yes, I just make these subjects fun, because you so updates can comment. This is Silvio Berlusconi times landed on my skirt. In that year, he said that he very chaste life and would not tell lies. Since I have his picture on the portrait of a fool of the Commedia dell'Arte and mounted him to miss a long nose. This image of Columbina, the figure of the simple but clever bauer Dame, affiliated with the fools, and Berlusconi's wife should be.

blogs ONLINE: What's your recipe for success?

Schulz-Hess: People need to watch what have I take the basic form of the 18th Century, a mixture of Baroque and Rococo. This means Corset and crinoline of metal, manteau, a lot of decollete, short sleeves, lots of beautiful old lace and brocade fabrics, mostly to accessories such as handbags, shoes and subjects that I also rebuilt to match the outfit.

blogs ONLINE: Is the competition are not huge?

Schulz-Hess: In recent years, growing ever less costume maker after. I am one of the few and younger, which make intensive. Among the 1.5 million visitors, I see 500 to 1000, which is a bit more effort, 400 of them properly. At the end of stay 30 masks left. These are in the last few years, always the same players. The tinker all year round at the costumes and give out mostly small fortune.

blogs ONLINE: And you?

Schulz-Hess: I need an average of 30 hours and 20 to 60 euros for a costume. I am all year round at flea markets and find it on Laura Ashley fabrics, lace and much of what inspired me. Also I horte old curtains from the fifties and sixties. When substances are yellowed patina, or have they really beautiful.

blogs ONLINE: What fascinates you most Venetian carnival? Cologne Why not?

Schulz-Hess: Cologne is too loud. Kamelle, wagons, Humptata and alcohol are not my thing. I love the poetic silence in Venice. The Bow and sincerely honor the costume makers among themselves is beautiful and warms my heart. It is Venice, with its crumbling facades, buildings and rats not only scenery but also makes at least half of the carnival from.

In the West, only new.

Image change in the district: Around the Zurich red light street miles long and in the former industrial district sprießt young creative life in the old walls. Whether gallery, restaurant or dance club - Züri West sets the trends.

 

Zurich is too rich. Zurich is smart and sweet and nice, Zurich is a Streber. Zurich is the parade ground, its foundation is pure gold. Zurich is Pelzmänteln with old ladies and small dogs in the "Sprüngli" spitzlippig Luxemburgerli nibble. But Zurich is also different, is drugs and prostitution and violence and occupation of houses and sub-culture and nightlife.

This other history of the town can be from one nodal point of telling: the taxi stand at the long-Strasse 94, a small square in the middle of the sin Babel. Until a few months ago stood as taxi drivers around and fighting with the intoxicated, the intoxicated with the sluts, the sluts with the police, the Kurds with the Turkish mafia mafia and all together, then a tree, place the newly paved, three benches and set up a drinking fountain. During the day, now sitting as the alcoholics, eating kebab students and employees of nearby offices, bask in the midday break.

From Cabaret to the party institution

It is half past one clock morning, a Saturday. The police car moves slowly, almost silently through the long road that somehow haiähnlich. He travels on the bus lane, but the consistently verbotenerweise of cyclists used. They leisurely way from the sidewalk, knowing that the police in this part of the city have more important things to do.

When a group of shady looking characters, the cars are. Four officers get out and grab a man, pressing him against a wall.

Multimedia Send refuge in Mutterns.

In the table flickering TV screens, the walls decorated with black graffiti: An Ex-Club Med-chief and the designer Philippe Starck in Paris have a three-star hotel "Mama Shelter" created - almost all in black and with a social benefit.

 

Looks like the hotel of the future? Reckt massive concrete block, the seven floors high in the sky of Paris. Inviting is the new building with its glass and steel elements are not. On the contrary. The 25-million-euro hotel "Mama Shelter" looks like an office tower, is located far from the shot on the eastern edge of the capital.

The fatal Außenansicht is only the first impression, and deceptive. The interior receives "Mutterns refuge" for its guests with thick carpets and piano music, candlelight and large screens, graffiti on the walls and an avalanche of technical innovations.

"Mama Shelter stands for warmth and comfort. Our guests are protected here as in nuts, this is a shelter, a shelter," said the attempted 62-year-old hotel Inventor Serge Trigano, the strange name of his house to explain. His last October opened hotel is a meeting place to take guests "like an urban kibbutz absorbs.

And as in a kibbutz is also the staff of "Mama Shelter" young, also of different skin color. For most, it is the first job, they come from school, or directly from the street. Waiters and chambermaids, and almost all were recruited from the immediate neighborhood, a poorer neighborhood where many artists live and workers.

In the remote 20th District has not yet Hotelier million project with a ceremony. Serge Trigano, but believes in the future of "Mama Shelter." A hotel as a social springboard? "Oui, c'est possible", he says. The misfit between the managers want to show the establishment. "Our people are inexperienced, but highly motivated," said the patron his team. "You have already repeated his order that mistakes happen, but here it is authentic."

Unforgettable is about the bouncer in brown parka, the so-depth discussion with his friends that he only noticed the guest, when the heavy door into the castle again fell. To the staff up to speed to bring Trigano has the renowned Parisian luxury hotel Plaza Athénée "the Chefconcièrge Jean-Claude Elgaire away - Paris insiders were surprised.

Philippe Starck creates black room

Courage and ingenuity are the Trigano family. Gilbert's father, in the 1950s, the Club Méditerranée co. He took over the chief's son Serge post, but his career ended abruptly when he was in 1997 by the Italian Agnelli majority shareholder of the company kriselnden was pushed.

Ten years ago, Serge Trigano was the first time from the hotel of the future dream. In the autumn of 2008 he set the critical Parisian audience before his bunker Klotz: "A lot of comfort at very reasonable prices, our hotel will be sexy and ecologically." Sexy is the "Mama Shelter" from the outside does not know God. To consider and reasonable effect of the box, the exterior view of the lack of creativity and a playful delight in the new. Inside the hotel trumps but. It looks forward Serge Trigano thievish, with Philippe Starck, a World Star for the interior to have won.

In the hotel bunker has a master of decoration so zugelangt. Starck has already luxury hotels like the Meurice in Paris style, but here was from the beginning on. Black, gray and white are the dominant colors in the corridors and rooms. The dark walls and low ceilings are instructions on Starck painted with graffiti. The effect is extremely bleak, but some find it cool. The guests are more likely to believe in New York than in Paris, with a touch of "Peace and Love."

In order for the bill rises were 172 rooms in the hotel housed Klotz. Most are only around 17 square meters, with cash of concrete walls. With a little luck is a night in a double room for 79 euros to have, however, without breakfast, booked early and are no longer refundable. This is a record for a three-star hotel, the tendency to five-star palace has. Suites are also in the upper floors. You are more than 35 square meters, some with a terrace, and cost from 209 euros.

Although each room has an iMac with 24-inch flat screen, while TV, radio, CD and DVD players, and Skype, and free Internet access offering. But the urge to save is visible: As a bedside lamp has a simple construction Starck lamps on the wall, with the Venetian carnival or even "Star Wars" masks covered. The bathrooms are small, there are no bathtubs. Also demanding guests will find in the "Shelter" is not a spa, this is a Yogaraum in conversation: a long announced but not yet installed.

Also a room, one searches in vain, "too expensive," says Jeremie Trigano, youngest son of the hotel marketing director and inventor of the hotel. In the kitchenette with refrigerator, coffee maker and microwave hungry guests can prepare snacks, in the entrance hall will be sold in vending machines. Since the effect of future promised Trigano the hotel quite a bit more automated, and dismal.

"The luxury hotels with their room rates lifted completely is today only a vanishingly small number of privileged afford," said Serge Trigano. Five-star palaces are for him just past the sprit schluck SUVs and leisure travel to the other end of the world. "The future lies in tourism cities. The people are for an exhibition in another city, the TGV or ICE. And want to live comfortably on target."

On the ground floor jostle several bars and a restaurant with rough wooden tables, the balancing act between comfort and rustic cuisine of high dares.

In 2005, he headlines when he was 28 years after his three Michelin stars back, because the conditions of the restaurant critic of "reasonable price for my customers impossible" to make.

The taste of Surinam.

At Bakkeljauw between the gourmet ghosts: There are those who are disgusted, others are addicted to the red-brown paste stockfish. Who in Amsterdam and the origins of Snacks researches, learns a lot about colonial history and slavery.

 

In Amsterdam-Oost is lunch time and the weather says it is now well with the people. On the Javastraat is the local multi-cultural muddle: dark-skinned beauties in tight jeans popping stroll on veiled Moroccan mothers passing. Chinese nibble pumpkin seeds, Turkish shop owners commenting loudly the football results. Meanwhile the sun makes fruit and vegetables in various colors light up. The whole street is a feast for hungry eyes world, one can hardly see enough of. But sometime notify the stomach and hand calls for celebration. No problem.

On receipt of a Surinam "Tokos"? a typical mixed goods shop with snacks offer? scent is seductive. The interior is lined with shelves full of food, spices, tropical vegetables and pots. Behind the counter waiting for a broadly smiling woman. It recommends "broodje Bakkeljauw".

The red-brown mass on the rolls seems odd to. And after the first bite, there are probably only two possibilities: Either shudders one, or it is threatening acute danger - and of course would like the addict immediately learn the recipe. But the owner of the teeming Tokos determined from. That's his little secret, and the speeches he has no time now anyway. Photography? "No, rather not." A wall of polite refusal to do. So the visitor of his way again, with a comforting feeling in the abdomen and a few open questions.

But elsewhere it is for information regarding Bakkeljauw not available. Tokos and snack bars are available in this area abound, but the silence is proving to be omnipresent. What is going on just here? What is known is that Amsterdam's colorful cuisine largely thanks to black market is thriving and that the majority of illegal immigrants in this industry it deserves karges bread.

But why should one not even the still lifes of exotic pastes, sauce and pieces of meat under a heat lamp photograph? "Probably this is the result of our polarizing politics of the past few years," says later at a local beer. The permanent migrants, the debate verpestet atmosphere and a climate of mistrust created. The integration does not come as naturally progressing, annoyed the old Essene. "Instead, more and more to fear." And for all population groups.

Stockfish was slave food

How bad is it is ironic that before, that the seemingly growing divide in the Dutch society precisely in the search for the secret of broodje Bakkeljauw up. Because there are only a few dishes, so what with the colonial history of this country are overgrown like this snack. "Bakkeljauw" is the designation for Surinam Stockfish, then salted and dried cod. In parts of southern Europe, particularly in Portugal, is "Bacalhau" extremely popular, the Germans on the other hand, almost all the hulls nose.

In the Caribbean and in the north of South America was once again Stockfish slave dish, for centuries. The dry canned made the economic success of the plantation economy even possible. The explosive growth of this industry in the 17th Century transformed the large and small islands in the Caribbean sugar islands true.

Also in Suriname? then Dutch Guyana called? and the neighboring British and French colonies grew especially the sugar cane plantations. Their sound was based on slave labor - 16 hours or more is working thousands of black African slave laborers a day in the sugarcane harvest. Their food had to be secured, of course, not on humanitarian considerations, but from a purely economic.

The supply of slaves with carbohydrates was less problematic, but in terms of proteins was initially a bottleneck. Stockfish Cheaper by the North American east coast was the solution. The Committee Neuengländer verscherbelten their goods to the plantation owners, the good fish stock they exported to southern Europe. Later, many specialized producers to mass-produced goods of inferior quality, thus expanding the Caribbean market.

In the Dutch colonies, slavery was abolished in 1863. The people were now free, at least on paper, but they remained there, where their ancestors had been dragged. And it was something else: a strong preference for "Bakkeljauw". Resourceful slaves had long since discovered, as is apparent from the cheap canned protein dishes were prepared.
