ELECTION GUIDE Berlin goes to the polls on September 18. The good, the bad and the Wowi broken down.
BALLOTS FOR FOREIGNERS Why the majority of non-EU citizens in Germany are required to complete 650 hours of German courses, integration orientations and tests but are refused the right to vote and what’s being done to slowly change that policy. Yet there’s still one way you can make your voice heard.
THE BALLOT’S SMALL PARTIES Hey! What about the little guys? EXB interviews squatters, anarchists, animal lovers, pirates and far-right ‘centrists’.
EXPERIMENTDAYS Berlin’s annual urban-living event sets up camp on the most hotly disputed building site in town: the Spree. Find out who the players are and what they’re bringing to the proposal-table.
WORD UP Eleven days of 150 authors from 60 countries form the 11th International Literature Festival Berlin (ILB). EXB rubs shoulders with the literati!
Plus…
