Federal government confirms demolition of Generalshotel on BER – politics

It is a last appeal, but this too should be ignored. The German Foundation for Monument Protection (DSD) calls the impending demolition of the reception and guest house of the GDR a “historically wrong decision” by the federal government of Chancellor Olaf Scholz (SPD). This is an “extraordinary contemporary document of German history with a high architectural value”, emphasize Steffen Skudelny and the chairman of the scientific commission, Gerd Weiß. “An exemplary handling of our building culture by the federal government would not least be of great importance for the citizens’ sense of justice.”
