A Protestant protest over Stuttgart annoying 21st The notes now probably the entire nation and who, like me, lives in the immediate vicinity of Stuttgart, know it all the more. When I was about last Thursday from a gig in Pforzheim went home and had to change trains at Stuttgart main station, there was the police presence is greater than the military contingent of the Jerusalem Central Bus Station.
It is now therefore decline any more, even in the discussion of the controversial billion project to participate. And so I am also aware of only a few weeks, it now seems only a "terminus" is not like before "bag station. Many a (r) may now puns that head and blind in most men meet anyway the same task, but if you go forward to such a level of argumentation, we will have to find as well that the proposed transit station well for many a building tycoon , entrepreneurs and politicians, only the attempt of a compensation is subjective perceived as too small genitals.
therefore understandable that many opponents of S21 those in charge of base motives and accuse foglich reject the project. Another argument is that the still existing central station is a listed building and also a landmark and a landmark of Stuttgart was. Now, as regards the protection of monuments, they're right, but you should have no illusions: Bonatz building is ugly as sin. In this respect, it would be - if legally possible - pleasant, soft when it would be several other buildings. However, looking at the moment in the vicinity of the station resulting new library is so clear that the central station is the much lesser evil. Although architecturally
like in a state capital, the parliament strongly to the Palace of the Republic recalled building with the charm of an East German prefabricated somehow have their Berechtitung, but one has to in the "land of inventors and engineers," as Stefan Mappus put it today, not even any sparks of artistic creativity in stifle.
order but let's stay with the prime minister: this compared today the construction project around "the new heart of Europe" with a typical Swabian home builder that has all the construction necessary permits already to renovate in the project, his house, but by Demons came out of the neighborhood is prevented. A comparison that clearly not only lags, but even paralyzed is. The reasons are so numerous that I exemplified name but a welcome: while the S21's not about a building project, which is only restricted to the city, but to others including the proposed new ICE line Stuttgart-Ulm, where one just always asks who would want to Ulm? Right, nobody. But this route will be only a small section of the much larger high-speed line Paris-Budapest, so allegedly, a transit station was necessary. Funny just that on the same route (Paris-Budapest) and Munich, is the terminal station but there is no problem.
The protests of many in Stuttgart for me which is more than understandable, as their god-like worship of trees seems to me rather esoteric. One, and they were but - in contrast to me about - certainly (!): Committed. Because while I will accuse me rightly, to have waited with criticism of S21 too long, do not listen to such accusations, the Stuttgart secure. They have also exhausted all the possibilities already 8 years ago. And not until then, but since 1995 were alternative proposals to S21, including the Greens, on the table.
In view of this I see now with some good will, that an age-independent, creative, and seems in after persistent protest culture Ländle developed. Only me would be terrific if you would also demonstrate once and for really important things, to say, "Do your mouth for the dumb and for the cause of all who are leaving!" (The Bible, Proverbs 31, 8)
Shalom,
