About the title

Several people have asked about the title of this blog.

Über die Brücke means “over the bridge” in German.

This has both a literal and a metaphorical sense.

Oberkassel, where I’m living, is on the other side of the Rhine from the center of Düsseldorf. So you must go over one of several bridges to reach my neighborhood.

Metaphorically, it has to do with being over here and on this little adventure (any more explanation takes away from the metaphor).
