"Nuclear waste in our village? Why not? "This attitude is rather rare in Germany. In our neighboring country, Sweden the little town of Östhammar has actually applied for the establishment of a nuclear repository. OSTKREUZ Photographer Maurice Weiss, who photographed the village recently, tells us why.

Ute Mahler has been teaching photography for over ten years, at the HAW Hamburg and at the Ostkreuzschule in Berlin. On our blog she speaks about her beginnings as a professor, the joys of teaching and her own experiences as a photography student.
Anna Hartmann: Dear Ute, you have been teaching photography for quite a long while now. How did you get into it?
Ute Mahler: I had never thought about teaching. I enjoyed my work as a photographer far too much. But when I was asked if I wanted to apply for a new professorship at the HAW Hamburg, I realized that I would actually like that. I always enjoyed talking about photographs and I also wanted to work with young people. So I just applied.
