Funkenfeuer on 5 March 2017

Accompanied by Kacem Kechana and Romina Bulut, a group of curious folks set out to climb the Wilhelmshöhe on Sunday 5 March in pouring rain. The goal of the 20 refugees – who had plenty of fun despite poor weather conditions – was to witness the “Funkenfeuer” (large blaze ritual). “We are very much interested in the culture and customs of our new homeland, and we thank Kacem and Romina for accompanying us”, said a Syrian participant. “Thankfully, winter has finally left.”
