Hello, I’m Leonie and I’ve been involved in the Gruß & Kuss project since last year. Initially, I was active as a citizen scientist and participated with great interest in events, such as the love letter regulars’ tables, and got involved in the team. I was very warmly welcomed and even got a job as a student assistant through this volunteer work.
Diving into past times and loves, understanding a little how it must have been “back then”, giving the written a voice again in transcribing it and making it preservable! That’s what I like about this project!
It is incredibly exciting to reopen a time capsule that may be over 100 years old.
