Sauerkraut vs. German Angst. 🥬🇩🇪
Kraut ist nicht nur das Gemüse des Jahres, sondern wird in einer neuen Studie auch damit in Verbindung gebracht, Angstzustände lindern zu können. Symbolisch wollen wir nun also mit frischem Sauerkraut die German Angst aus dem Bundestag vertreiben und unseren Politiker:innen frischen Mut einhauchen. Denn wir sitzen hier alle in einem Boot und sollten in einem Miteinander die Herausforderungen angehen. Und wer hätte schon gedacht, dass das größte Superfood bei uns vor der Haustüre wächst? Oder frei nach Goethe: „Warum in die Ferne schweifen, wenn das Gute liegt so nah?“

On January 29, we mark 140 years of inventing the automobile and setting the world in motion. To celebrate this milestone, @timbengel was invited to capture the key personalities and models from 14 decades of @mercedesbenz in his unique sand and gold technique. The artwork will be on display at the @mercedesbenzmuseum from February onwards and open to the public.
Happy Birthday @mercedesbenz_de 🥳

Ein Jahr SUPERKRAUT, viele Jahrhunderte Geschichte 🥬❤️‍🔥
Heute feiern wir nicht nur die Skulptur vor dem Stadtpalais, sondern auch die nächste Generation, die Filderkraut lebendig hält. ✨

Ready to reveal my new artwork with me? 🏰🚀

My work ‚BHR 3000‘ combines the historic Hohenrechberg Castle, built around the year 1200, with a utopian vision of a future extension. Inspired by the aesthetics of old copperplate engravings, I recreated the scene using my signature materials: sand and gold.

The structure reflects a vision of minimalist alpine wood architecture – warm, clean, and rooted in nature, as seen in the Tyrolean region.

Now you might be wondering… what’s with the rocket? 🚀

The lord of the castle once had a curious idea: since castles represent ultimate immobility, why not break that with future technology? A transport rocket, ready to lift off if needed – a symbol of curiosity and the leap into the future.

Let’s hope – and work – so that Hohenrechberg Castle still stands strong and proud in the year 3000. 🏰✨

A little easter egg for the new owner 🚀
Embedded in 1.8 million grains of Earth:
One grain of sand from an original Mars meteorite.
The glue will soon turn invisible — but the story won’t. 🌍❤️‍🔥

“A Tent in the Universe” 🪐⛺

Some time ago I read the quote from Steve Jobs: “We’re here to put a dent in the universe.” I liked this megalomaniac approach at first. But on closer inspection, it becomes clear that this claim can never be fulfilled. Many of us put ourselves under pressure to leave something “significant” for posterity or even to deform the physical universe.

Yet we forget how small and insignificant we are in the universe. Scientists estimate that there are about 100 billion galaxies in our observable universe, and each galaxy contains on average hundreds of billions of stars. So I can reassure you all, no one will ever put a dent in the universe. ✨

So my counter-proposal is: Put your tent in the universe. Pitch your tent for the brief moments you are here, marvel at the wonders of nature and enjoy the time with your family. ⌛

In astronomical time terms, no one will remember us anyway, so we might as well just have a good time. 💃
