Beyond the Horizon

July 14, 2025

It stands there as if it had never been anywhere else – this bench overlooking the Havel. Roughly constructed, a little crooked perhaps, but steadfast like an old friend. Its backrest isn't a piece of furniture, but a silent invitation: Sit down. Come and rest. Look out.

Before it lies the water, in that languid silver that only the Havel commands – a river that is more silent than it speaks. The houses on the other side seem distant and close at once, like memories of a life one almost lived. And above it all, the sky, sometimes opened, sometimes closed, as if it weren't yet ready to decide whether to hold on to the day or let it pass.

Whoever takes a seat here steps out of time. Thoughts slow down, the heart quiets. One hears the rustling in the grass, the wind in the trees, and sometimes the distant flap of a paddle. And suddenly there is something like peace – not the great, final peace, but the small, precious peace for in between.

This bench tells nothing. She listens.

The bench is located on the Havelhöhenweg. Great view of the Havel River
