The year-long dispute over a car-free Friedrichstrasse has been enriched by a new chapter.
After a section has already been closed twice, cars should be allowed to roll there again from July. What do you think of the Senate’s plans?
Finally, we wanted to know from you whether you think gender-sensitive language is correct. 11,816 BZ readers voted, the result is clear: 93 percent (10,937) are against it because gender is destroying the language. 4 percent (446) are in favor of gender, because language has to adapt, for another 4 percent (433), written gender is okay, only speaking is annoying.
