demolition kills

In Berlin, one has to be careful that history does not repeats itself nowadays in the southern Friedrichstadt, as happened in the 1970’s, when the corrupt Berlin Senate, also called the “Berlin Filz” supported the demolition of residential buildings in favor of profit-oriented new development. Southern Friedrichstadt, which to this day has been shaped by existing bomb holes from the Second World War and therefore still has the capacity for urban densification. We see a serious danger here for this old Berlin residential area, for the people who have lived here for a long time and then also for the LiMa Wohnhof over the period of the next two decades, because the LiMa Wohnhof, a green oasis in the center of Berlin, does not bring any Money.

We propose that the LiMa Wohnhof be further developed proactively and as a model as a climate-oriented and social architecture and project in its neighborhood according to the difficult requirements of the 21st century, thus bringing it now safely into the future in its unique social and historical position.
