A True Story

Something incredible happened to us last week at the Europe Festival in Potsdam.

°

Two young men came to our booth and made beaded bracelets. Some time after they had finished, one of them came up to me and told me the following:

°

He had made a bracelet with the name Bernd on it, but he didn’t know why—his name wasn’t Bernd. Later, an older woman saw his bracelet, gave him a hug, and told him that her husband had recently passed away, and his name had been Bernd. She was deeply moved to see his name on such a beautiful bracelet. In that moment, the young man understood why he had made it.

°

And the most incredible part?
The young man’s name is Franziscus.

The PerlenBus at Potsdam Europe Festival 2025

On Europe Day 2025, the PerlenBus was at the big Europe Festival in Potsdam.

°
On the beautiful Old Market Square and under sunny skies, lots and lots of guests created beautiful bracelets. Our youngest guest was just two and three-quarters years old, and our oldest visitor was nearly 80.

°

Everyone had a great time, and we’re already looking forward to being part of the Europe Festival again in 2026.

°

For everyone in Potsdam:
Come join us at Waschhaus on June 1, 2025, for the big International Children’s Day celebration! The PerlenBus will be there again, and we can’t wait!

°

See you then!
