Did you know that David Bowie lived in Berlin in the late 1970s? His song “Where Are We Now?” from the album The Next Day is a reflective piece that mentions Berlin landmarks and evokes his time in the city. The song was also featured in the play Lazarus, which Bowie co-wrote.
The song includes references to:
- Potsdamer Platz: A major public square and cultural hub.
- Nürnberger Straße: A street in Berlin mentioned in the song, named after the city of Nürnberg, where Exasol’s headquarters is located.
- KaDeWe: The Kaufhaus des Westens: A historic and luxury department store in Berlin.
