Haltestelle, 2009

The image shows a common bus shelter near Magdeburg, where the Kaulitz brothers used to meet when they were 12 years old and came up with the idea to found Tokyo Hotel, by now one of Germany's most popular and internationally successful pop bands. A kind of fan hysteria developed around the bus shelter cult site that is right outside their parents' house. Day and night, crowds of crying fans camped out there. The neighbors eventually decided to sell the bus shelter in an act of self-defense.
