Claudia Gödke photographed the new visual campaign for the CLASH restaurant at the NYX Hotel in Berlin

The new NYX Hotel Berlin Köpenick reveals a different side of Berlin: urban, creative – and at the same time pleasantly, not to say surprisingly, relaxed. Located directly on the Dahme River and overlooking the historic Köpenick Palace, this lifestyle hotel combines art, design, and the Berlin way of life into a truly unique experience.

Claudia Gödke photographed the food campaign for the CLASH Restaurant at the NYX Hotel – which sees itself more as a creative gastronomic and social hub than a traditional hotel restaurant.

The new NYX Hotel Berlin Köpenick opened in May 2025. The official opening took place on June 12, 2025. With 190 rooms, an open lobby, restaurant, bar, and a spacious waterfront terrace, the hotel sees itself not only as a hotel but also as a social meeting place for travelers, creatives, and Berliners alike.

Carnival in Cologne - Alexandra Polina photographed the "Pappnasenexpress" (a special carnival train) for DIE ZEIT

The Pappnasen-Express (Clown Nose Express) is a legendary party train that has been transporting carnival fans from northern Germany directly to the carnival capital of Cologne for over 25 years. The train usually departs from Hamburg-Dammtor station – a region not exactly known worldwide for its sense of humor.

The train was originally created to provide carnival enthusiasts from northern Germany with a safe and communal way to travel to Cologne, although for many, the party on the train is more important than the carnival itself.

And this is where photographer Alexandra Polina came in: for DIE ZEIT, she shot her editorial right in the middle of the action – on the moving, partying train.

Incidentally, there are several party compartments on board with bars and DJs who get the party started with Cologne music and party hits from the early morning hours (around 5:00 a.m.).

Coffee meets art in everyday life - Tim Sonntag photographs the collaboration between Tylko and Tina Bobbe

Tylko, founded in Poland in 2015, is an online shop for custom-made furniture that you can configure yourself on screen. The images shown here were photographed by Tim Sonntag for Tylko in collaboration with Tina Bobbe.

Tylko's current CEO is Jacek Majewski, the company's co-founder. The basic idea behind Tylko stemmed from a fairly common problem: standard furniture often doesn't fit in real homes.
