      <image:title>Ode to Offenbach</image:title>
      <image:caption>People at a pug race in the Büsing park Offenbach. The photo is part of the series &quot;Ode to Offenbach&quot;.

Every time I heard about the city of Offenbach in my early youth it did not mean anything good. Drivers with the license letters OF were known for their incompetence, their unpredictability in traffic. Because most made their first and only experiences with Offenbach citizens in traffic, people from there were not deemed too smart.
For decades, Offenbach has been regarded as Frankfurt’s ugly little sister. While the banking metropolis’ economy is booming, Offenbach’s industrial heydays as one of the most important leather-producing cities in Germany have almost been forgotten. Unemployment and public debt is high compared to other German cities and municipalities. Because Offenbach has the highest rate of citizens with foreign roots in all of Germany die-hards say that the cultural diversity confronts the city with a lot of social conflict. But Offenbach is not a hellhole as people might claim who have rarely or never set foot into it.
Recently many young people and families make that conclusion. They move to Offenbach in increasing numbers due to high rents in Frankfurt. They enjoy Offenbach’s rough charm which the city owes to its cultural diversity and the lack of public money. Offenbach’s appearance does not mean though that people there do not get along with each other or that certain places have to be avoided for safety reasons. It does not happen very often that people in Offenbach get robbed, shot or stabbed. Most violence here is linked to family feuds. Public life does not suffer because of this.
“Why the hell would you move to Offenbach?”, are most of those asked who decide to live there, only to ask themselves a little later why anyone would want to leave Offenbach. Those who prefer Offenbach to other places appreciate its cultural diversity and that one barely hears a word of German being spoken on its streets. They appreciate that Offenbachers call themselves Offenbachers before they call themselves Germans, Turks or Arabs. But as much as the city opens up to the world, the more it lets its people be, look and think like they want to.
Offenbach does not dictate any fashion codex. It does not need any hip stores and bars to improve its reputation. Offenbach does not need to pretend to be likeable.
Thus my pictures are not supposed to draw a social portrait of Offenbach. I try to capture the face of the city which still resembles the one I was once afraid of but which I learned to appreciate. After one year of being an Offenbacher I learned that appearances are deceptive. This city is still swarming with absurdities and peculiarities. But that does not make it a bad place.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Spiral Snapshot</image:title>
      <image:caption>The luminous heart of the galaxy M61 dominates this image, framed by its winding spiral arms threaded with dark tendrils of dust. As well as the usual bright bands of stars, the spiral arms of M61 are studded with ruby-red patches of light. Tell-tale signs of recent star formation, these glowing regions lead to M61âs classification as a starburst galaxy. Though the gleaming spiral of this galaxy makes for a spectacular sight, one of the most interesting features of M61 lurks unseen at the centre of this image. As well as widespread pockets of star formation, M61 hosts a supermassive black hole more than 5 million times as massive as the Sun. M61 appears almost face-on, making it a popular subject for astronomical images, even though the galaxy lies more than 52 million light-years from Earth. This particular astronomical image incorporates data from not only Hubble, but also the FORS camera at the European Southern Observatoryâs Very Large Telescope, together revealing M61 in unprecedented detail. This striking image is one of many examples of telescope teamwork â astronomers frequently combine data from ground-based and space-based telescopes to learn more about the Universe.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Wolfgang Schleich</image:title>
      <image:caption>The image shows environmental activist and pensioned civil engineer Wolfgang Schleich portrayed while working on his current project near Herbstein in the Vogelsberg region in Germany. 20 years ago Wolfgang became frustrated about how the water demand of big cities in the Rhein Main region is steadily damaging the Vogelsberg's eco system, exhausting its soil and depriving it of its water storing capabilities. Frankfurt is getting more than one third of its drinking water from sources in the Vogelsberg, the amount increasing every year. One day, Wolfgang climbed on his excavator and - with the approval of local authorities but his with own money - started digging the first retention reservoirs. By now, Schleich’s many decentralized reservoirs not only help to fill up the Vogelsberg’s groundwater and act as flood retention basins. The retention reservoirs have also turned into biotopes that serve as habitats for dozens of species. „I want to show how one can act against certain developments. And it gives me great purpose“, says Wolfgang. For two days I documented Wolfgang's work near Herbstein and will continue in the coming months. It took Wolfgang years to finally convince local municipalities of the importance of his work. Every now and then they support him with a bit of money. But he invested tens of thousands of Euros of his own finances and does his painstaking work mostly by himself, often until late at night. &quot;I don't care as long as my work bears fruit&quot;, he says.</image:caption>

It is one of the largest carnival events in Germany and, along with the Cologne and Düsseldorfer carnivals, Mainz is one of the three cities prominent in the rhenish carnival tradition. Aside from the celebrations, parades, and jollity which are typical of carnival traditions in many countries, the Mainz carnival has an unusual emphasis on political and literary humor and commentary.</image:caption>
