This structure is the <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/LesezeichenSalbke?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#LesezeichenSalbke</a>, or "bookmark" ("Salbke" is the name of the neighbourhood). It was built in 2009 as an open air library (and bookcrossing spot), a venue for small events, and a noise barrier for the locals. It even won some awards (like the <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/EuropeanPrizeForUrbanPublicSpace?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#EuropeanPrizeForUrbanPublicSpace</a>)! <br>

Sadly, it's a popular spot for vandalism too, so since 2015, there are no more books here. What a shame, it is such a beautiful concept! And I feel stupid now, because I learned all of this only an hour ago. 😅 <br>
When I passed by in May to take photos of <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/PengMagdeburg?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#PengMagdeburg</a>, it looked rather sad and run-down, but I should have spent more time to take it in. Well, next time!<br>
