Wilkommen!
Wilkommen in Ihlingen, jungs!
Ihlingen is for me, more than a CJ city, more than a city tile. It is a homage to a region, to a people and to some unforgettable memories.
Seven months back, I arrived to Königs Wusterhausen, an outer suburb south-east of Berlin, Germany, to study in TH Wildau, a nearby technical university. SInce then, I have not only completed my degree, but I lived SO many experiences, knew people from virtually everywhere, from Colombia to China; and finally, got the job that allowed me to settle in Berlin city and, who knows, perhaps I even root here.
Berlin's outer suburbs have blatantly inspired this CJ up to the point that some of the locations shown in the next updates are directly based on them. This no-man's land, between the crazy, punk and everchanging Berlin and the surrounding quiet, rural and nothing-ever-happens-here-like State of Brandenburg is where Ihlingen is placed. Towns like Königs Wusterhausen, Wildau, Niederlehme, Zeuthen, Erkner, Bernau, Ludwigsfelde... are the sources where Ihlingen comes from.
The fictional Landkreis Märkisch-Niederbarnim is a direct "parody" of these Dahme-Spreewald, Oder-Spree, Märkisch-Oderland, and all of these surrounding Berlin.
Enough chatting, let's see the first picture!
