Recordist's notes

Walk through rather silent pathways, talk about the opening and that many yards will be closed then, a guide is talking about the new 'old town' as disneyland and the inhabitants of the city. Talking about the Hühnermarkt and Friedrich Stolze who reminds of Marx - another guide is talking about the Goethe-Haus, that is not original in a double sense and about Struwelpeter, the upcoming museum that reminds of this figure, that is 'coming back' to the 'old town', bells are tolling. Binaural recording.
