Three Germans just told me instinctively that it’s “der Vibe”. I asked them why and they couldn’t tell me, they just felt it. A brand new loan word. I mean, I know why it’s not das Vibe “das Weib”, but why not die (Stimmung)?

Taken today at Brautwiesenstr. 22 in Görlitz. It seems that the photographer mixed up his photos and it got labeled inaccurately - leading to the whole internet identifying it as Prenzlauer Berg. We made sure to keep it as a time capsule here in Görlitz 😉
