Köpfe und Ideen 2022

After two years in the pandemic’s grip, and after long habituation to diverse cautionary measures so as to prevent infection, we had hoped that this year might signal a gradual return to our sorely missed Wiko life.

In addition, of course, the Fellows would again be able to explore Berlin unhindered by any lockdowns. They could once more acquaint themselves with the city’s charms and idiosyncrasies. They could visit its theaters, operas, museums and movie houses - while providing staff members with new restaurant tips. And indeed, this turned out to be the case.
