One day, tiny houses and a yurt appeared next to the bombed-out church on Mirbachplatz. Who were these strangers? Zoja Landmana, who lives on the square, tells her children this urban fairytale about the magic green oasis “Insel Weißensee” in the middle of the city.
“It seemed like this urban fantasy would last forever.” (Mirbachplatz)
