Lisbon is a city that has a unique charm, and one of the best ways to experience it is by using the public transport. Especially the trams are something special. The city has a big tram network with both modern and old-looking trams. Some of the older ones look like they are from another time,…
New year, new me. This is what so many people think when the year starts. I also wanted to improve myself this time. More exercise, a healthier lifestyle – you know, the usual stuff. But honestly, I never liked going to the gym. The music is too loud, the sweat smell is terrible, and lifting…
It’s that time of year again—the season when the Wrapped playlists and yearly summaries from music apps fill social media. People eagerly share which songs they’ve listened to the most and how often over the past year. But I don’t join in anymore, not because I dislike the trend but because I have nothing new…
Because of the early loss of my mother and the absence of a father, I spent most of my childhood and youth with my grandparents. At a time when the internet or social media couldn’t help with unusual questions and I didn’t question much because of my childish naivety, I thought for a long time…
In my hometown of Magdeburg, today’s buses are diesel-powered, but once upon a time, trolleybuses (or “Oberleitungs-Busse”) were a common sight. These electric vehicles disappeared in the 1970s, long before I could experience them firsthand. While Germany currently debates ways to create emissions-free public transport, the option of trolleybuses is rarely considered. Yet, a look…

I dare…
From my perspective traveling by train has many advantages over driving a car. For me, on the route from Magdeburg to Braunschweig, the train is a better choice because I can avoid the annoying traffic jams on the highway (A2). This journey not only has environmental benefits and saves time compared to driving by car,…
As a commuter, I know very well how important the „last mile“ is. Every morning I think about how to get to my almost beloved RB40 from Magdeburg to Braunschweig. The „last mile“ describes the distance from the last stop of public transport to the final destination. Often, this short distance is crucial in deciding…
I have to admit that the car is my least favorite way of transportation, but because of luxury and status, I own one of these new and modern electric cars. You can argue about the sense of electric cars, but it’s not the type of engine (electric motor) that is debatable, but rather the energy…
Nowadays, digital strategies are a key part of many business models and workflows. They help us optimize processes, use resources more efficiently, and increase productivity. But how can these principles be applied to everyday tasks like loading and unloading a dishwasher? First, it’s important to understand and analyze the process. For a dishwasher, this might…
