🌕 Tonight’s Blutmond – My Berlin Adventure

Tonight, Berlin will witness a Blutmond – a total lunar eclipse – and I am beyond excited to watch it! I’ve been waiting for this rare Ereignis (event) for months. There’s something magical about stepping outside, looking up at the sky, and seeing the moon slowly turn dunkelrot (dark red).

I’m planning to go to my favorite little Hügel (hill) near the Spree, where the city’s lights reflect beautifully on the water. It’s quiet there, away from the main streets, and I can sit on my favorite Bank (bench) while sipping a warm Kaffee(coffee). I remember last year, I tried to watch a meteor shower from the same spot. The sky was cloudy, and I was a little disappointed – but tonight, I hope the stars and moon will cooperate.

I’m also thinking about bringing a Teleskop (telescope) to get a closer look. Last time I used my small telescope, I spent hours observing the craters on the moon. It felt like traveling to another world without leaving Berlin. Tonight, seeing the totale Mondfinsternis (total lunar eclipse) up close will be even more magical.

Walking there, I can imagine other Berliners doing the same — couples holding hands under the Mondlicht (moonlight), children pointing excitedly at the sky, photographers setting up their cameras to capture every moment. The Blutmond isn’t just a natural phenomenon; it’s a chance to connect with the city, nature, and a moment that happens selten (rarely).

Personally, I feel a mix of Aufregung (excitement) and Frieden (peace). Watching the sky always reminds me of my childhood, lying on the grass in Ukraine and counting the stars with my friends. Berlin may be a busy city, but tonight, it feels like the universe is giving me a quiet, private show.

I can’t wait to see the moment when the moon turns fully red. It’s one of those experiences that makes you feel alive, connected, and inspired. If you’re in Berlin tonight, I highly recommend finding your own geheimes Plätzchen (secret spot) and witnessing it. Trust me, it’s unforgettable.
