Briefe von Ulrike

This is a book about friendship. Hagge and Ulrike met in Berlin 1983 during the division of Germany. Hagge lived in West and Ulrike in East Berlin, the city divided by the Berlin Wall. The book includes all letters and postcards Ulrike wrote to Hagge within 9 years, until the fall in 1989 and the year after. These letters are remaining pieces of a special time of friendship and historical documentation of German social life during separation.

Not knowing how political situation will be like, 34 years ago they made the plan to meet in 2017 at the cliffs of Dover, the time where Ulike would have been able to leave East Berlin at the age of 60. Luckily they could meet before but still held on the plan to meet in Dover. This book is a present for Ulrike to keep the memories alive.

The book itself was printed via blurb, the chronicals via digital print and the cover via letterpress.
