'Learning from the best' - photographer Daniel Feistenauer visited the world-famous Parisian cooking school Le Cordon Bleu for Zeit Magazin

In June 2026, the magazine ZEIT published a special issue on the theme of "Cuisine," for which Hamburg-based photographer Daniel Feistenauer visually showcased the world-famous Parisian cooking school Le Cordon Bleu.

The article focuses on the haute cuisine of the cooking school under the direction of Éric Briffard. As a culinary highlight, the school created a culinary homage to Franco-German friendship. For this, the editors selected 13 typically German ingredients. And, of course, the humble potato took first place. Sauerkraut and apples were also essential.

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.).
