Hi!
I haven’t been
posting for a while once more, but temperature is pretty high in Italy now and
sitting in front of my computer is challenging…
However, I would
like to introduce you today to a topic that I enjoy a lot. I hope you will like
it!
Flea markets are
not only a tradition in Berlin, they are almost institutions. Some are small,
some are huge and take place in several parts of the city. Most flea markets
are on Sunday (like the ones in Boxhagener Platz and Mauerpark), they are a relaxing
ritual for Berliners and the ideal destination for those tourists who wish to
take a break from the classical sightseeing.
Especially interesting
are those flea markets dedicated to a single subject or subculture, for all
people looking for a specific object or garment, for those who like to keep
focused on their own scene or for those who are simply curious. Among the
several categories, for all gothic/dark style lovers there is the Dark Market –Der Gotische Trödelmarkt.

The gothic
market takes place on the first Sunday of the month, every second month, at
Duncker: the well-known club of the dark scene in Berlin. Entrance is free. Exhibitors
offer a range of both first and second hand goods, beside handmade accessories.
In summer time (of course by good weather) stands are placed outside the club
(by the street), inside it (yeah, directly on the dance floor!) and in the
backyard: a small garden with gazebos and arbor.

The Dark Market
is not only a sale-purchase occasion, but a true rendezvous moment. The bar of
the club works like during night parties and, again in summer time, barbecue is
granted in the backyard. Furthermore, inside the club, there is always a dj
playing dark wave songs at low volume, so that participants can talk.

To keep updated
about the events and to see the pictures which are taken every time, you can
check the official Facebook page. If you wish to ask for information to take
part as exhibitor, instead, you can send an e-mail to daisy@darkmarket.de , writing as subject of the e-mail “Dark Market”.
Next Dark Market
is scheduled for August 2nd, between 1:00 pm and 7:00 pm.
Duncker Club is
in Duncker Straße 64 and you can reach it by tram M10 (Husemann Straße stop) or
by S-Bahn (Prenzlauer Allee stop) with lines S41, S42 or S85.
Have you already
been there? Are you planning to go? Let me know!

Ciao!
Sono dinuovo stata un po' senza postare, ma patisco tantissimo il caldo di questi giorni e fatico a stare davanti al computer...
Oggi, però, torno con un argomento a cui tengo particolarmente: il Dark Market berlinese!
Ho scritto la versione italiana già qualche settimana fa per Berlino Cacio e Pepe, quindi è con gioia che vi rimando al link:
Voi ci siete già stati? Ho stuzzicato la vostra curiosità? Fatemi sapere!
A presto!
Mary
