On this page I’ll be writing about things that I’m currently working on. These may range from things that are near completion to (sometimes very) rough ideas. If you find anything here that you’re interested in, do get in touch. I like joining forces with others when I can, particularly if those others know more about a subject than I do.
Current projects include:
Abgefahren. Eine Geschichte der vergessenen Berliner Bahnhöfe
The German translation of my book The Lost Termini of Berlin (see the Books page), but in an oblong coffee table format and with improved reconstructions. To appear in the Fall of 2025.
The Brightest Darkness. Otto Jaekel, the Man Who Did Everything.
A biography of Otto Jaekel, someone who has interested me for a long time. This has been my “main” project since finishing my thesis in 2017, and is due to be published next year. Provided I keep to my deadline of November this year, obviously.
Stolen Symphonies. The Unraveling of Hans Franke’s Illegitimate Musical Legacy
Nazis, plagiarism and orchestras in the Sudetenland. And much more besides. Not happy with the title yet, but it’ll do as a working title.
