Some photos from a short weekend trip from Berlin to Halle and Leipzig. Being a bit of an architecture nerd, there are definitely too many photos of buildings still on the camera.

This was my first time getting out of Berlin and seeing a bit more of actual Germany. Seeing as Berlin has a reputation for being a bit unique.

All of these are raw and unedited. Also my photography leaves a lot to be desired still.

This was the street that we stayed on.

A visit to the Leipzig Post-War Museum

A torn German Democratic Republic flag

A statue which once bore the Nazi swastika, chiseled off since being captured

During the GDR, students were taken to visit military checkpoints, where members of the Stasi would attempt to recruit them as spies

Some incredible, detailed architecture, one of many old buildings throughout Leipzig

Clara-Zetkin Park

We were walking through just as they started a women’s run

A gothic masterpiece

Heading back to Halle by train, almost certainly on the wrong ticket

This trip was an enormous amount of fun. I look forward to visiting more places across Germany in the future.
