Cologne - The controversy about "Building the Town Hall forecourt," said Mayor Jupp Müller for the CDU parliamentary group: "The place is not built!"
So far, 52 percent of the interviewed people do not want any buildings in the town hall of the place. 48 percent want a Jewish museum here, only 12 percent favored the winning design. The CDU wants to now do without even the shelters for the archaeological zone, which had been disputed. "It is the area un-put-ter UV filtered glass."
OB Fritz Schramma (CDU) criticized that) when the winning design, the components of the Archaeological Zone (AZ and for the Jewish Museum (JM) is not independent of one another executable. The museum needs to be funded by private patrons. This funding is lacking. But only the shelters for the AZ would be paid by the country for the implementation of the museum's design there is no money.
The AZ must in 2010 be completed, not the museum. SPD, Greens and FDP hold a request for the Board, according to the cultivation of the Town Hall forecourt with a Jewish museum.
