other day I saw an interesting program on television! ... No, no, a joke!
It was on the radio ... and it was about the most exciting events in this city, Berlin, in the last 20 years since the Wall. Among other things, once again, the Palace of the Republic, and its demolition, to the language. And give me some strange thoughts went through my head.
So for all those around 20 and they understand even less why the thing was such a political issue and why it had to demolish should ALWAYS be here Attempt to explain:
Palace of the Republic ...
PALACE .... the Palace of the Republic
REPUBLIC
palace ... it means "showy structure in which 'an autocrat ... (Ie sole ruler) at the expense of the people living the high life and lived ... ?
Republic ... denotes a form of government where the people through elected representatives in a democracy the state power .... lol ... nice word confusion ... exercises.
Actually it would be impossible the establishment of the one by the other from the start? Or?
So ok, not to GDR times ... in so far as to the term "palace of the Republic "to say nothing at all: It was built as a socialist democracy ... * g * a swanky Palace (Palazzo Protzo) for a 'autocrats' name ... Eric had set up ... It was quite something bad .... huuuuu!
Then came the other Democrats ... the capitalist Federal Democrats and the Federal Republic with them ... and of course it had tremendous hurry to tear down the Palace of the Republic!
Why? know THE no one exactly like this ... probably because they had too much money they had to disappear and not have dared to burn or really easy to throw out the window. The street cleaning would be too expensive become ... Or simply because someone told them with intelligence: "You can not, then falls over the cathedral, which sits namely as a counterweight to the same bottom as the huge Palazzo Protzo!" ... ok, I admit that I could have seen you!
So, therefore, again and PALA ST REPUBLIC !!!!! not tolerate the NO! Therefore had to go! And a renovation and modernization viiiiiiiiel is too expensive! But we still have the money at all!!
We tried then to persuade the people ... ".... Because that is so ugly, must go! " ... yes, yes, a quite complete legitimate argument! Because a building is ugly, it must be torn down! Because one of the federal republic of just the way it ... with all the ugly buildings ... and the Radisson hotel across is so incredibly much nicer than the palace ... and the other new buildings from the 70s and 80s around the Alex are much nicer ... and especially the 2000s, built in the beautiful Alexa temple is MUCH better! And above all, the new government quarter - much Schöööön ... and also in weeeeeiiiiiiiitem not so incredibly pretentious as Erich's lamp shop !!!!! NO no no no no!
And then you have the argument of "health" is applied: if in doubt Does it ever! ASBESTOS! The demolition magic word ... Which is contaminated with asbestos! asbestos-contaminated!! asbestos-contaminated!! And you are all of death, if ye only anseht ....
The Berlin Philharmonic was built when? At the same time as the palace? From which company? The same as the palace? But certainly, with other materials sooooo! Since I am absolutely sure!
Yes, and then came this, in my opinion, most plausible argument added, explaining why a democracy is a PALA ST may not give the Republic. And I must say the logic is really impressive:
Because you, the 'old' STADTSCHLO SS at the point must rebuild!
But laughter really pissed in my pants I have, as I have, architecturally really 'beautiful' sketches for this LO SS SCH seen the REPUBLIC!
man, what we get ripped off in this country!
