Lutherstraße, Jena

photo01


The house I lived in at this time was on Lutherstrasse, and all these photographs were taken between March and June 2002. The rent was negligible, the flatmates great.

A couple of years later, in 2004, Alina and I moved into a flat elsewhere in town which I was thrilled to discover was build to an almost identical plan as the one in Lutherstrasse. True, the toilet isn’t downstairs off the landing, there isn’t a shower in the kitchen, and what is now our bathroom was another bedroom in Lutherstrasse; but the new flat had a familiar, homely feeling to me from the moment we moved in…
