We are sitting at Ebertplatz subway station; tram No. 16 is humming and waiting for departure. On the right side you hear a man passing by and asking:”Sag mal hast du Interesse an einer Zeitung; vielleicht haste mal ne Spende?” (Interested in buying a newspaper or in donating some money?).
The paper he is selling is called Querkopf. Querkopf is a newspaper which is written and sold by “homeless” people. Then No. 16 departes to Hansa-Ring-Station. We are still sitting at Ebertplatz, on the left a young mother is talking with her two children. You might have recognized that there remains a timide humming in the air - like a droning electric light. It is another No. 16 which is now leaving for Reichensperger Platz.
Thanks to Jochen Schmitt for this beautiful soundscape!
