DER WEDDING The magazine for everyday culture

It’s rude to talk about money, or so says conventional wisdom. A silly custom, thought the editors, as they discussed together the topic of the new issue. Money makes us think in categories like ‘Haves’ and ‘Have-Nots’, and dominates practically every part of daily life. Simply put, cash rules everything around us, in the big picture as well as the small.

It’s well known that, in Berlin district Wedding, where the magazine “Der Wedding” is produced, money doesn’t grow on trees. Rather, it’s locked up tightly behind bulletproof glass or in vaults, as the local pawnbroker explains in an interview about his business. Quick cash can also be found In a quite different context, promised in questionable job postings in the confidential ads, a few of which one of our writers answered, landing him in some rather shady business. An IT technician is satisfied with less – he owns fewer than 100 things and explains to “Der Wedding” why this asceticism has become for him more like wealth. And Chrissy, the bartender at a local Wedding pub, tells about the money that her regulars stash behind the bar.

As always, the editors of “Der Wedding” found these stories right at their doorstep, because after all, where are large-scale phenomena better observed than in the small-scale: the every-day.
