Little River Tegel, Etching/Watercolor, 9,4x12,6 inch, 1988, 140 Euro. The Tegeler Fließ (little river) is a 12-km long little river, which starts near Basdorf in the district of Bernau and finish in the lake of Tegel in Berlin. The humid meadows
at his banks near by Lübars belong to the most zestful pasture in the region of Berlin. Since 1941 it is under protection of nature. Near Lübars the Tegeler Fließ has about 2-3 meters width and 50 cm depth. A lot of stone grooves were installed to abate the ground-water level in the large valley. 10000 years ago ice time hunters had here a resting place. They were waiting here for the animals, which came over the little river and to chase them. A lot of excavation objects were found at this place which let conclude that the hunters had rested here 14 times and have made rich prey.
