Stephan Cremer photographed me. Now he wants to know what I find interesting about Wismar, so that he can write it under his photo. One thing I should call. Think for a while. The Sankt Georgen church? Berthold Börner's "Nikolaiblick"? The cemetery? In Bertholds pub it goes loud, in St. Georgen quiet, in the cemetery very quiet. In the cemetery there are many corpses, in St. Georgen quite a few, at Berthold only now and then a Schnapsleiche. But you can see beautiful women with him, in St. Georgen rather rare, never at the cemetery. Since they are all invisible under the earth, which may have been pretty. Even financially, the differences are considerable. St. Georgen is usually entered free of charge. Certainly not the cemetery, at least not as a corpse. At Berthold you can quickly get rid of one or the other Euro, but for that you get delicious beer and good food. In the cemetery you can not get anything to eat for your money. On the contrary: one is eaten. From the maggots. Speaking of money - here are the similarities of my three favorites: At Berthold I have not seen a single ticket machine, in St. Georgen not synonymous. There are certainly some in the cemetery - we are in Wismar! Hello! - But there are the things so well camouflaged, that at least no one noticed me. In St. Georgen, I have never met a sheriff from the public order office. Anyway, not in the cemetery, there they are underground and do not do any more. And with Berthold? Only once did I ever come across one another, and that's only because Berthold's guests held him until his neighbor - warned by Berthold's guests - got into his car and drove away. To search a legal parking lot. A legal parking lot. In Wismar. Did the man ever come back? Incidentally, there are signs in all three places, Berthold's most. I do not think there are so many signs in Wismar as in Berthold's Pub. Finally, the nicest thing in common of my three favorites: the complete absence of cyclists. In St. Georgen, no biker has overtaken me so aggressively from behind that I fell in shock. Otherwise happens regularly in Wismar. No cyclist ever drove me between the pillars of St. Georgen, because I did not jump humbly aside. Even at the cemetery so far not a single time driver who would have insulted me because I did not applaud his speed smoke, as it usually does in Wismar. Zero cyclists in Sankt Georgen, zero cyclists in the cemetery. You have to imagine this! And between the tables of the "Nikolai-Blick" never happened that a biker at the last moment slowed down and insulted me, because I dared to use his sidewalk. At Berthold, these people leave their bikes in front of the pub, are friendly to the pedestrians and tamer with each beer. Maybe because there the mayor occasionally looks over. So what now: Sankt Georgen Church? Berthold Börner's "Nikolaiblick"? Graveyard? Tell me, writer! What do you find interesting? All right, I decide and answer: Interesting about Wismar is Berthold's pub. In St. Georgen namely no beer is tapped and the cemetery, I come soon enough. And then never leave. With Berthold already.
