Kurt Schumacher Straße connects the Gelsenkirchen districts of Schalke and Buer. It is incredibly long; the longest street in the city of Gelsenkirchen. And, in my opinion, incredibly desolate.

Beni Veltum & Manuel Moreno in Beverly Buer
The new Galerie Von Veltum in Gelsenkirchen Ückendorf only opened in November 2019. Then Murphy’s Law came into play and everything that could go wrong did go wrong.

HoF Nordsternpark in August
This year again Hall of Fame Nordsternpark was crime scene of the annual Pottwall Jam event. If you want to see these walls with your own eyes, don’t forget to bring sunglasses and sunscreen.
