Who doesn’t feel overwhelmed by the still red and orange pillars of the Brandenburg Gate? A comment from BZ editor Hildburg Bruns.
Hopefully the Berlin Finance Senator will actually succeed in collecting every cent of the costs from those responsible. In addition, police forces are hired here again as guards, because the color attackers always want to come back.
It’s also a joke that the BIM property managers now have to advance money for cleaning, which could be better invested in the energy-efficient renovation of buildings.
Do you still remember the renovation of our landmark after the millennium celebration? Back then, Berliners were able to vote on site with coins on a historic comeback.
The Brandenburg Gate was initially actually painted white – a fake because real marble was too expensive. In the years that followed, it changed color several times, but of course intentionally and legally.
Let’s now hope for the effect of the miracle paste, the recipe of which is kept secret – the chaotic people shouldn’t be able to prepare for it!
