If a Müggelturm is not enough, just a second. Entrepreneur Matthias Great would like to build a twin tower with an Elevator so people with walking difficulties and Wheelchair users can enjoy the views of the surrounding area. As the “Berliner Zeitung” reported on Monday, should be connected to the two towers via a Skywalk, as you know it from the Alps.
Great thing, but unfortunately, the 1960-built Müggelturm under monument protection, from the basement, with its Restaurants up to the view point at around 30 meters above the summit plateau. Entrepreneurs Large knows that his idea will fall at the preservationists probably. Which had existed in the renovation of the tower, everything is faithfully reconstructed. Elevators could install Large, only up to the roof terrace of the Restaurants.
“funding is secured without the public Hand”
“We are asked by our guests with a mobile restriction very often, why there is no way for us to enjoy the view on the tower?”, Great says. The idea with the twin plus Skywalk just be the solution proposal is storm now. The second tower would cost “a high six-digit sum”, but it was able to handle. “Funding is secured without the public sector.”
Now Great hopes to have as many positive reactions from the local politics and of the Müggelturm Fans. District mayor Oliver Igel (SPD) has he ever been on his side. “The idea to build a building, so that all people can use the tower, I think that’s brilliant.” With the specific proposal of Great he could live as Köpenicker. “This is not a blight. The tower has experienced so many changes.“ The former mayor, Klaus Ulbricht finds it “absolutely necessary to open the tower for all the people”.
The competent Baustadtrat Rainer Hölmer (SPD) is cautious: “I can understand the desire to open up the Müggelturm self accessible, very well.” However, the project could be assessed professionally and, if specific documentation is available.
For the renovation of the tower, the on 1. May 2018 re-opened, had been “all Stakeholders, including the disability Commissioner of the district” agree with the solution, only the Restaurants in the Base, with elevators opening up to. The FDP member of Parliament Stefan Förster, Chairman of the Denkmalrats Treptow-Köpenick, not much of a second Müggelturm. “That the imagination of Mr. Big knows for years, no limits, is generally known.”
