Yesterday, the 10 month as a Rechtskulturen Fellow have come to an end. I really enjoyed the stay in Berlin and the most welcome time of focused work on my transnational litigation project. The seven Rechtskulturen Fellows formed a powerful team, as researchers and friends. In particular, I’d like to thank Alexandra Kemmerer and Lucy Chebout who both did such a wonderful job in providing ideas, infrastructure and spirit for making Rechtskulturen work — even in times of budget cuts and the search for new perspectives.

In Berlin, I felt at home from the very first moment. It’s a great place. After some days of holiday with family and friends I will move back to Hamburg — in hopes of finding some Hamburg summer before this rain starts. Elbstrand, I’m coming!
