Bonn -
Joachim Decker is an architect. And his eyes shine so right when he explained his idea: The new Beethoven Festival Hall would fit wonderfully in the Gronau, in close proximity to post-Tower and Eugen long time - directly on the Rhine.
Decker, also member of the Council for Citizens Federation Bonn (BBB): "For me, this is the optimal solution."
The proposal would offer some advantages, says Decker:
Accessibility: Several bus stops are nearby and ample parking in the underground garages of Post-Tower and the UN building.
Job site: It could be built without hindrance, it would have no houses demolished and no traffic will be blocked.
The effect: In conjunction with the Jahn-Tower, the German-flute-building and the old waterworks would be a "unique architectural ensemble."
The view: from here you have an attractive view on the right than on the location Rheinische Beethoven Halle.
And what would happen to the old hall? BBB-chief Bernhard Wimmer, who presented the model with Decker, "They should not be demolished, even as you could save money. "
You could sell it for one euro to one investor who agrees to receive, but would get the opportunity to build more buildings on the site. Criticism of both: the former Mayor Baerbel Dieckmann had prematurely set on a place in the Beethoven Hall. Decker: "I do not think that a festival could help to take this opportunity to revitalize the Old Town."
