The sports and recreation center, SEZ, in Berlin is facing demolition. Can protest in the Senate still bring about salvation?
And once again in Berlin, one of the more outstanding examples of building in the GDR is threatened with destruction: the sports and recreation center, also known in the city as SEZ, is to be demolished and make way for newly built apartments and a school. After all, there isn’t a drastic lack of new living space in inner-city locations and new schools; And didn’t the SEZ offer the sad sight of vacancy, vandalism and dilapidation instead of sport and recreation for far too many years? So who shouldn’t raise their thumbs enthusiastically about this decision by the city and the owner? Clear answer: quite a few.
