The Berg
Support the Berg! With the decommissioning of Berlin's Templehoff Aiport a huge area in the middle of the city is now open for development. The Berg aims to be the worlds first imaginary toruist attraction.
"While big and wealthy cities in many parts of the world challenge the limits of possibility by building gigantic hotels with fancy shapes, erecting sky-high office towers or constructing hovering philharmonic temples, Berlin sets up a decent mountain. Yet, never at a loss for anything, we do not have to build it. We just picture it to ourselves and pretend its beautiful existence to everyone else: It’s peak exceeds 1000 metres and is covered with snow from September to March…
Hamburg, as stiff as flat, turns green with envy, rich and once proud Munich starts to feel ashamed of its distant Alp-panorama and planners of the Middle-East, experienced in taking the spell off any kind of architectural utopia immediately design authentic copies of the iconic Berlin-Mountain. Tempelhof no longer only is on Berliners’ minds: People come in flocks to - not to see the mountain. Thus,
Come and see The Berg!"
