A total of 30 modular building (called ‘container’ in German) villages will soon come into existence in Berlin. Around 80 million euros are being released right away by coalition factions of the SPD and CDU for this purpose. More than 60 other container villages will be discussed by the Senate next week. The exact location is still not confirmed, but they will be found primarily in neighborhood areas. But the Berlin residents can be happy, the plan is in particular to put one of these violence brooding stations in each district or at the most three per township. The ugly container buildings for the future Berlin slums are to be up to three stories tall.
The sheltering time is to be limited to three years. That sounds in our ears, though, like the tones of several months ago where the sports facilities seized for the invaders were supposed to be freed up “after the summer holidays at the beginning of the school year,” but are still being occupied, and countless others have come in addition. Thus, the Berlin townships will certainly have to survive for an undetermined time; the life of the containers is at least 60 years. Already in June are the first to be inhabited. Slums now belong in Germany (lsg)
