Скачать или смотреть My New "Neighbors": Spotting Wildlife in East Berlin

🎥 I thought I found a shortcut to the plot today, but it turned into a "long cut" through the beautiful Marzahn wetlands. 🌿🏞️

It turns out that taking the long way around was exactly what I needed! I got to see a side of the neighborhood I’ve never seen before, including some incredible local wildlife.

In this video, we're exploring:

🦫 The Beaver Dam: Seeing the handiwork of some local East Berlin beavers up close! [00:44]
🧱 The History of the "Schreber" Garden: Learning about the roots of these garden allotments and how they were established in 1988, just before the fall of the Wall. [02:18]
🕊️ The Local "Neighbors": Spotting some beautiful birds [03:00] and even a "wild" cat [04:51] hanging out in the marshes.
🏙️ The Marzahn Skyline: Seeing the iconic "Plattenbau" buildings rising above the natural horizon. [03:45]

It’s amazing how much nature you can find right in the heart of East Berlin. If you're into urban exploration, local history, or just want to see what else I find on the way to the plot, stick around!

🏡 About Scott’s Plot
Welcome to my slice of East Berlin! 🇩🇪 I’m Scott, and I’m documenting the step-by-step transformation of my new garden plot. From battling the sandy Brandenburg soil to renovating a vintage garden house into a cozy tiny home, I'm sharing the grit, the growth, and the garden-to-table wins.

Whether you're into urban homesteading, DIY renovations, or just want to see what life is like in a Berlin Kleingarten, I'm glad you're here! 🌱🔨

🛠️ The Tiny House Project
I am currently stripping down and rebuilding the garden house on my plot. My goal is to create a functional, sustainable tiny retreat right in the city.

Goal: A fully livable summer oasis! ☀️

🏛️ History of the Schrebergarten

The story of the "garden colony" is fascinating, especially in the East, where these plots were often literal lifesavers.
