Haffkine bred bacteria with the help of what, to orthodox upper-caste Hindus and Parsis, was the purest of all substances—ghee.

After maturing for some weeks, the solution was sterilized, decanted and stored in laboratory phials.

The smell of the sea … the cries of seagulls … a huge building with familiar domes – this must be Istanbul! But no simit shops, no trams, no Ottoman architecture – no, this is an Istanbul of many centuries past. People are wearing tunics, togas, long bright gowns. Young men are carrying high-status persons in litters across the broadly paved streets. This is Constantinople in the sixth century that I find myself in.

„Oh, das ist ja erstaunlich. Toll, das wusste ich ja gar nicht!“. Sätze wie diese hört man oft, wenn man Gäste aus anderen Gegenden Deutschlands oder aus dem Ausland durch die Stadt führt. Manchmal brauchen wir einfach einen Impuls von außen, um zu erkennen, welche Schätze vor der Haustür liegen. Wir dürfen uns ruhig freuen, denn Augsburg und die Region haben wirklich viel zu bieten.

Gebürtig aus Regensburg, bin ich als Kind mit meiner Familie nach Augsburg gezogen. Seitdem bin ich sehr mit Augsburg verbunden. Durch meinen Beruf als Immobilienmaklerin lerne ich seit 18 Jahren immer wieder neue Ecken in Augsburg kennen, das finde ich sehr spannend und macht Spaß! Augsburg ist für mich sehr lebenswert. Mitten in der Stadt mit seinen historischen Gebäuden und den vielen grünen Ecken fühle ich mich richtig wohl und genieße die kurzen Wege.
