The story behind Notes of Berlin
The cult favourite returns for its twelfth edition. Once again, it brings together 365 authentic finds that offer a warm, humorous and often touching glimpse into the small moments of everyday life.
In 2027, the beloved tear-off calendar once again delivers a genuine note from the streets of Berlin to your desk every single day. For the twelfth year, NOTES OF BERLIN collects handwritten messages, quirky notices, neighbourhood dramas, declarations of love and everyday absurdities—found on walls, lampposts, entrance doors and doorbell panels across the city.
What began as a blog has long since become a cultural phenomenon. With more than 10,000 collected notes, hundreds of thousands of followers, millions of page views, over 100,000 calendars sold and 250,000 postcards in circulation, NOTES OF BERLIN has become both a chronicler and commentator of urban life and the ways people live together.
A daily reminder of just how funny, moving and creative city life can be—raw, honest and, at times, wonderfully absurd.
