The evening on the subject of skyscrapers begins with New York. Robert Brannekamper was there on business for the state parliament. “And I was happy when I was back here,” says the CSU MP, “in Munich, a liveable city on a human scale.” On Monday evening, Brannekämper left the discussion event “Does Munich need high-rise buildings?” out of line SZ in dialogue no doubt that this standard would be endangered if – as planned – two 155-metre towers were allowed to be built at the parcel post hall in Neuhausen above a new urban quarter. Because: “These houses will break a dam.” After that, similar projects would inevitably follow in many other parts of the city, he predicts, “because the investors then push the city planning and the city council in front of them.”
