We are about to start the new year 2026.

For 2026, I wish that bridges will be built. Bridges connecting fighting parties and extreme opinions, bridges, where people can approach each other and listen to each other without judging.

That is why I have chosen six pictures of bridges painted by my grandfather, Hermann Radzig-Radzyk.

The arcade 1912

Trogir bridge in Dalmatia 1914

Silberberg viaduct in Silesia  1924

Boniface Bridge in Brügge 1926

Old Tauber Bridge Detwang 1942

Heidelberg 1942

Yes, for 2026, I wish that bridges will be built. Bridges connecting fighting parties and extreme opinions, bridges, where people can approach each other and listen to each other without judging. Happy new year.
