Homework:
Describe the change of your district
Das habe ich gemacht, in dem ich ein aktuelles Thema herangezogen habe. Das ist dabei herausgekommen und ich würde mich freuen wenn der ein oder andere verbessert und beim Schluss muss ich noch nacharbeiten... (fehlt mir aber gerade die Konzentration) - muss mehr auf die Aufgabenstellung eingehen...

Peter Woelck could describe very well the change of the discrict there I am still living – Prenzlauer Berg – but he died on first march.this year.
In his honor I will try to write my story – so it is not just a homework – it is an image of the change, an image what happen in Berlin the last few years.
Who was Peter Woelck?
He was born in Wilhelmshagen in 1948, a outlying district of Berlin.
He grew up in Köpenick by his Grandparents. It was hard for Peter, because he was a small sensible young kid – his Grandfather who grew up in the time of socialist empire had to handle his own way of life, where was no time to understand that Peter has a talent for art in many ways.
In the age of ten he got a photomachine – a machine who gave him the option to escape from his repressive living conditions.
1968 two grandmasters of the German Democratic Republic photograpy szene invites Peter to the circle "Club Junger Meister".
1972 Peter started to study at the „Academy of Visual Arts“ in Leipzig.
Here in Leipzig he forms a lot of his beautiful pictures.
In East Germany he kept his head above water as a photographer, made three childs with three woman and did not affiliated to the association of artist with the statement that his art is to real to come up to the agenda which the socialism realismus has from the reality.
1989 Peter moves back to his flat which was in the „Kastanienalle“.
He had still the key.
But it shows that for a bird of pardise like Woelck the struggle for survival in this free hunting-ground he is not armed.
So he worked at the beginning of the 90´s as a photoreporter for a popular newspaper (which soon suspended) and tried to brake into the advertising market - at the end he earned some money with advertising for snack bars.
It was hard for him – but he never stopped his walk with his cam and so he sold his pictures to some tourists and tried his best.
But his livelihood is endangered because the owner canceled his contract.
And after more than a year legal action he not just lost the prozess, he got between that cancer and died on 1 march 2010.
Now – nobody talk about that – nobody talk about the big change in the districts – but everbody who is sensible and smart enough – can see that this happen to maximise profit in the form of rental fee, to give the richer part of population a new feeling of lifestyle and dont forget – to create a new image of the city.
