Saturday January 13th, Berlin, Germany
The davidbowie.de members will celebrate David`s birthday on Saturday, 13th in Berlin at the “Neues Ufer” former “Anderen Ufer”.
After David had lived in LA for years, he came to Berlin in 1976 and rented an flat in Berlin-Schoeneberg, Hauptstrasse 155, being fascinated by the “wall-city”. Here in Berlin he produced two of his most important records, Low and “Heroes”.
Today this address is legendary, fans from over the world come to the house and the nearby cafe “Neues Ufer”, where Bowie was a regular customer, having his breakfast after recording nightsessions in the Hansa-Studio.
