[1000 Strangers] #46 (56) Serhan by Anh Tu Nguyen Photography, on Flickr

Aachen is not a big city but as a multicultural city with thousand faces, it has surprises in store at every street corner. It seems like diversity has become the new orthodoxy of city planning. You do it wrong, the city ends up being a mixed-up chamaleon. But if you do it right, you will love where you are.

Serhan is one of thousands faces of Aachen. I see him a countless times at the pedestrian street into Elisenbrunnen, right in front of the Foot Locker store. But i didn't have a chance to talk to him until yesterday. It was a rainy day and i almost decied to called off the quick photographic run because of the weather. But it was a blessing in disguise. The currywurst lover were busy hiding from the rain so i went towards him with thought that i don't have to cut the talking with him down to size without interrupting his business.

His name is Serhan, born in 1975 in Aachen but i always call him "The Bratwurst Guy". He amazed me by telling me that he has been doing this 9 to 5 job for eleven years. Everyday except Sunday in eleven years means 3444 Days or 27552 hours standing still and carrying the currywust counter. Though he uses the supporting pole for the counter but it is still pretty awesome. But how did he come up with this idea? He saw it once in Berlin and he has been doing this in Aachen ever since.

We talked lots of other stuffs and he is so interested in Vietnam's street food. He hopes he will fly there one day to see it by his own eyes. Good luck, The Bratwurst Guy!

#47 (57) Dr. Horst Kluttig

So the past weekend, my girlfriend and i visited the NEA wind turbine. This plant is located in the Euro Wind Park between the districts of Aachen Laurensberg Vetschau and Orsbach in Ochsenstock.

The wind turbine Visitor centre of the NEA was established in 1999 and they named it Windfang (english translation: Wind catcher). Since then more than 10,000 visitors have already experienced the generation of electricity from wind from up close in small groups. A spiral staircase in the tower leads to a viewing platform at 63m height, just below the nacelle. I am a little bit surprised that worldwide, fewer than a dozen wind turbines are so equipped and there is only two or three wind turbines with the observation deck in Germany. From this observation deck, you can enjoy a magnificent view of the Aachen region.

But there is one thing, one person that worths more than magnificent: the tour guide – Herr Doctor Horst Kluttig: the mastermind behind of all this. He amazed me with his plain lifestyle.
He is the manage of NEA (New Energy Agency – he has been working for NEA more than 25 years) but every sunday, he is here. Whatever weather, cold or warm. Winter or Summer. At this wind farm. In the past 11 years. Introducing and informing people about the benefits and the future of wind powered energy. He has put so much energy into this project and he talked about this with such enthusiasm. Since everything were only in the blueprint till now. The effort took years, with many people coming and going, but Herr Horst Kluttig remained at the center of the effort along with a core group.
And he doesn't even have an agenda. He just wants to spend time working for the community, to carry a message: Wind energy delivers a multitude of benefits to communities. It is sustainable and creates local jobs, wealth and economic revival, it helps fight climate change and improves our energy security...
Today, Herr Horst Kluttig must have to feel pride and proud of his self when this master plan is cited. I take my hat off for what you've been done!

- So you go to the Japan Day in Düsseldorf every year?
- Not every year. Every weekend. With my wife.
- How long have you been married by the way?
- 32 years. And still counts.
- Wow. Congratulations. Would you describe the Japanese in three words?
- I really like japanese people. They are neat, culture-bound and reticent.
