Ultimate Frisbee in the Park - summer edition

Hi everyone. We'll meet and play a relaxed game of ultimate in Volkspark Rehberge if the weather cooperates. Our games focus on having great team play, where the teams work together to advance the disk down the field. It's more important to work well together as a team than have a few star players get a point with lucky shots. For this reason, players of all skill levels (especially those who have never played) are welcome to join Bring plenty of water, shoes you can run in and comfortable clothing that can get a bit dirty. Although we're an established group, newcomers are always welcome. After the game we try to spend some time together and have fun. Finding us: We meet in this big grassy area, it's a short bike ride from the subway stop Rehberge on the U6 or Amrumer Strasse on the U9. It can be a bit tricky to find the first time, so we've got a few methods to help out (don't trust the meetup map pin, it often shows some point in the park, not the exact spot where we are) 1. GPS: 52°32'54.9"N 13°19'51.0"E ; 52.548581, 13.330842 2.

Although adherence to the rules, proper equipment, and common sense reduce this risk, the risk of serious injury does exist; and, you willingly and freely assume all such risks.*

Philosophischer Stammtisch - Für Nicht-Philosophen ohne Stammtisch-Niveau

* *For English, please see below* Der Philosophische Stammtisch ist für alle, die gerne über das Leben philosophieren wollen ohne dabei zu verbissen den Fragen auf den Grund zu gehen. Wir wollen gemeinsam zu neuen Einsichten kommen und einen Raum schaffen für Menschen, die sich auf tieferer Ebene austauschen wollen. Die Fragen können von tiefen metaphysischen Fragen bis zu praktischen Lebensfragen reichen. Diese Veranstaltung soll gerade auch die ansprechen, die sich über solche Fragen Gedanken machen und sich austauschen wollen. Das hier ist kein politischer Diskurs. **Das Thema für diesen Abend** Wird bald bekannt gegeben. **For our English speaking members** We will have one table where the discussion is in English and you are welcome to join :) **Topic** Will be soon announced.

Maybe Bring a blanket (optional if you can just sit on grass on sunny day) **☀️ Whats the vibe?** 💬 No philosophy background is needed—just curiosity and a willingness to hear different perspectives. 🌱 We’ll keep things relaxed and conversational. Simple questions often lead to surprisingly deep discussions, and that’s exactly the atmosphere we’re hoping to create. **🤔 Questions we might explore** **1\. Does our digital past define who we are? 📱** **2\. Is it always better to know the digital truth? 🔍** **3\. Are love and compatibility more important than endless choice? ❤️** I will bring further questions that will help continue the conversation. So dont worry that we will run out of topics to discuss. Plus we also inspire people to also go deeper into another topic in case that one sounds interesting for everyone.

Wasserturm and Pumpstation Tour – Cycling Tour to Grunewald and Spandau

**Wasserturm and Pumpstation Tour – Cycling Tour to Grunewald and Spandau** **Time:** 15:00 **Theme:** Cycle Tour + Water Infrastructure + Industrial Heritage + Nature **Start:** Water Tower Prenzlauer Berg (just opposite side of street from Umani restaurant) **Distance:** 25–30 km **Suggested contribution:** €5 Join me for a cycling journey from the centre of Berlin through **Charlottenburg, the Grunewald and along the Havel**, exploring the water infrastructure of Berlin. This is a tour about **water**: where Berlin got it, how it was pumped, stored and cleaned, and how the infrastructure built to supply a rapidly growing city is still visible today. We'll start at the best known Wasserturm in PBerg then tour past several others on our way to the the olderest surviving pumpstation in the city: the historic **Wasserwerk Teufelssee**, now home to the Ökowerk Nature Conservation Centre. We'll explore the remarkable surviving machinery and buildings of Berlin's oldest complete surviving waterworks, before taking a break at the nearby beer garden. From there we'll continue north through the Grunewald, taking in the Grunewald turm and then along the Havel, eventually reaching Spandau. **The Tour** Berlin's growth in the nineteenth century created a huge problem: **how do you supply a rapidly expanding city with clean water?** Our route follows the answer. Starting in central Berlin, we'll cycle west towards Charlottenburg, where the development of wealthy new neighbourhoods created an urgent demand for a reliable water supply. Along the way we'll see the **Wasserturm Berlin** and make our way towards Grunewald and the historic **Wasserwerk Teufelssee**. Built between 1871 and 1873, the waterworks originally supplied the new villa district of Westend. It was later expanded and became part of the municipal water system, eventually supplying large parts of southern Berlin. The machinery, filter halls, water tanks and other elements of the original complex have survived remarkably well. Today the site is the **Ökowerk Nature Conservation Centre**, creating a fascinating meeting point between industrial heritage and nature. We'll take some time here to explore the site and have a drink at the nearby beer garden before continuing our ride. From the Grunewald we'll head towards the Havel, following the landscape north towards Spandau. Along the way we'll see how Berlin's natural landscape has been shaped by infrastructure—waterworks, reservoirs, canals, roads and energy systems—while still remaining one of the city's great recreational spaces. We'll finish in **Spandau**, where you can either take the train home or, if you're feeling energetic, continue cycling back into central Berlin. I am an accredited tour guide in Berlin, specialising in telling stories about the city's industrial heritage. I ask for a contribution of **€5** to organise the tour and share my knowledge. **Disclaimer:** Please note that all participants attend as group members, not as customers, and are responsible for their own safety. Please read the group description in full for an explanation of the terms and liabilities. **The Cycling** This is a relaxed sightseeing ride rather than a sporting event. 🚲 We'll cover around **25–30 kilometres**, with frequent stops for stories, photographs, drinks and discussion. The route includes some unpaved paths through the Grunewald, so a reasonable bicycle suitable for light gravel or forest paths is recommended. Anyone who is comfortable cycling around Berlin and is happy with a relaxed pace should be fine to join. **What to Bring** 🚲 A bike suitable for some unpaved paths 💶 Cash for drinks or snacks 🌧️ Waterproofs (just in case!) ☀️ Suncream 🥪 Water and snacks 😊 Curiosity and a sense of adventure **Highlights** 💧 Discover how Berlin developed the infrastructure needed to supply a rapidly growing city with clean water 🏰 See the spectacular **Charlottenburg/Westend water towers**, built to supply the expanding city and its new suburbs 🏭 Explore the hidden industrial infrastructure behind Berlin's development 🌳 Cycle from central Berlin through Charlottenburg and into the forests of the Grunewald 💦 Visit the historic **Wasserwerk Teufelssee**, Berlin's oldest surviving complete waterworks ⚙️ Discover the original pumping machinery, filter buildings and water-storage infrastructure preserved at the Ökowerk 🍺 Take a break at the **Jungfernheide Wasserturm** and enjoy a drink surrounded by the park 🌊 Follow the Havel and discover how Berlin's waterways shaped the city's infrastructure and expansion 🏙️ See how apparently natural landscapes are actually deeply connected to the history of the modern city 📖 Hear the stories of engineers, entrepreneurs and workers who built the systems that kept Berlin running 📸 Fantastic photography opportunities combining industrial heritage, architecture, forest and water 🚲 Finish in Spandau and choose whether to take the train home or cycle back into town I estimate the cycle tour will take around **3 hours**, including the stops. Hope to see you there! **Simon**
