Pankower Tor: the toads missing from the building plan.

Berlin wants to build 2,000 homes here – but strictly protected amphibians are holding up the major project. A case study.

At night

‘Das Günther’: a band that invents its songs live.

Three musicians, zero planning: how pure spontaneity creates something new every night.

Wearing oversized neon-green glasses, Alex, the voice of ‘Das Günther’, sits in front of us and looks into the camera.
At night

Heimwegtelefon: how the walk-home phone line works.

Night-time in the village: shisha in the barn, joyrides through the middle of nowhere.

Where nothing seems to happen in the evening, yet everything does: young people in a village in Lower Saxony after dark.

Sleeping better: sleep researcher Thomas Penzel’s rules.

Good sleep starts long before bedtime. An expert explains what really matters for a restful night.

At night

Narcolepsy: when sleep becomes an illness.

Sudden attacks, hallucinations, leaden tiredness: student Livia Sommer looks for answers in a sleep lab.

Sommer sits in her hospital room. After her skin has been degreased, nurse Marie Drebing attaches the first two electrodes around her eyes so that her eye movements can be tracked. Warm light falls on her face.
At night

Femicide: the crime scenes of deadly misogyny.

Almost every day in Germany, a woman is killed because she is a woman. Photographer Selma von Hennigs documents the crime scenes in her home town of Regensburg.

At night

Hannover’s night angel: help while the city sleeps.

An interview about night-time rounds through the city, encounters on the margins – and help that gets through.

Portrait of Martina, the ‘night angel’, at a table in her flat. In the background is a large red cupboard and a pinboard with her personal photos.
