The Soul of Kiel (17)

Been ploughing around in Kiel's past again, and doing old-style drawings.
But first some freestyle:


Then bunkers. I have been posting about them before, those giant multistorey concrete blocks in the city. Here is a second set of them, for some of which I pedalled around 16 kilometers. These lot are functional, being used as sound studio, cinema, museum or foundation for some great grafitti.


Strolling about in the heart of Kiel I stumbled upon the remnants of a synagoge. The tiny Jewish community in Kiel used this building in the Haßstrasse untill 1910 as synagoge, before they moved to a larger site more off-centre. It was destroyed during the bombardements in 1944. On the banner a plea to restore it.
