Grumpy Crêpes seller: The hardest job at Kollwitzplatz

in a world that is characterized by the hustle and bustle of the new rich and tourists, a former currywurst seller found his place. Week after week he stood on Kollwitzplatz in Berlin and served customers from various layers. Among them also a personal branding coach with an annual income of 300,000 euros. These interactions led to a clear hierarchy in which the seller saw himself as a social subordinate. Nevertheless, the respectful handling of the staff and Berlin house law enabled a certain resistance.

As one of the hotspots for wealthy residents, the market at Kollwitzplatz was regularly visited by wealthy residents from Prenzlauer Berg. Here they found a way to immerse themselves in a world of confrontation with everyday service providers away from their luxurious everyday life. It almost seemed like a tradition to let the employees say their opinion every Saturday - almost like a game for those who know that they are seen as intruders in a once cool city.

The former curry stand was replaced by a Grumpy Crêpes seller who served the same clientele. His relentless and just species attracted customers from afar who wanted to enjoy the experience of being confronted by his sharp tone. The seller did not seem to be putting a sheet in front of his mouth and spoke openly about their unfriendly habits.

Despite all the criticism and confrontation, Kollwitzplatz was a place of gathering and pleasure for many wealthy residents. Here they were able to break away from the stressful everyday life, relax completely and watch their offspring as they played in carefree carefree. A special place where the hierarchies of society blur and the authenticity of the Berlin lifestyle can be experienced.
