My new little series on the blog will involve you a bit more.
If you’re fond of research – and who isn’t, right? alive equals curious- then this will be just the right thing for you.
So here is the first question: through which Kreuzberg doors did Bismarck walk in and out for long (especially long for him) years?

Well, I feel you directed the question at me and I did not know offhand. I knew what school he went to, but dud not know exactly where the school was.
As you say a little research is fun. Here is what I found out
First his mother sent him to the “Plamannsche Erziehungsanstalt” (and he hated it there 1822 – 27) at Königsgrätzer Straße and then he went to the Friedrich Wilhelm Gymnasium in Friedrichstraße (1827 – 30). Both locations are in what is now called Kreuzberg.
Additionally he worked as an articled clerk at the Kammergericht (1835 – 36). I assume that was in Lindenstrasse at the time.
I hope this answers your little quiz if he indeed used the doors at those places.
This is absolutely right:) I did direct the question at anyone willing to try and answer it but intuition told it might be you getting back to me first.
Coincidentally, I passed the said house in Königgratzer Strasse (Stresemannstrasse) three days ago and noticed the plaque hanging there. It took my 5 years to do so but as they say: better late than never:) A text about Plamann´sche coming.
