It’s hard to believe so many years have passed since these photos were taken. Sometimes it feels like yesterday …

I’m sure I’m speaking for us all when I say that knowing the miracle baby bear Knut and his loving keeper was something very special. They brightened up our lives – and they still do!

  2. Dear Mervi!
    ‘Everything comes to an end.’ Depending on the context, this phrase can make you feel either happy or deeply sad. In this case, it makes us double sad. We would have loved so much for the fairy tale to continue, or at least to have a happy ending… The only thing that comforts us is the thought that the two of them are now back together and happy.
    Spreewaldmarion has taken some beautiful photos of our dream team, which bring back the fondest memories of this time.
    Thank you!

    Hugs
    Anke
