On Saturday, the BZ was in a party mood. We have been the voice of Berlin for 145 years. There was also a 20-page supplement, brimming with voices from Berlin.
We brought them directly to the people of Berlin on the street. There were also Alexandre (33), Bertine (38) and Alexandra (33) – on their roller skates. Normally the three show their cool tricks on the Tempelhofer Feld. For the BZ they went on tour in the old town of Spandau, on the Kudamm and in the Friedrichstrasse.
No coincidence, of course. In 1920, a kid from Weißensee had the idea of distributing the BZ on roller skates. His name was Erich Hübner and we once again emulated him for the anniversary.
