Reading tip: Da war ich eigentlich noch nie

This book — unfort­u­nately only available in German up to now! — is both an excursion into the past of travel and a handbook for dis­co­veries during your next vacation in Germany.

Because: Who already knows Germany? And: who hasn’t caught them­selves thinking, “I’ve never actually been there before!” when looking at a map of Germany? Or with a sen­ti­mental, “I was there once as a child with my parents.”

The Wun­der­kammer brings tog­ether old tra­ve­logues and whim­sical, phi­lo­so­phical texts about tra­veling in Germany with a pan­op­ticon of fairy-tale places off the beaten path.

An enter­taining journey of thought in which no detail goes unno­ticed. — Frank­furter Rund­schau
An opulent and totally magical travel book about Germany. — MDR Culture
