What lasts long, is not good. At least not from the point of view of all the admirers of Helmut Dietl. The Munich-based Director will not be honored until Further notice, with it’s own Statue. Which should be no later than this spring, finished, had Werner Lederer-Piloty (SPD), the Chairman of the district Committee of Schwabing-Freimann announced in the summer. Now the subject has been completed with reference to a city Council decision of April 2018. The reasons for the initiators is not traceable. “You are threadbare,” says Lederer-Piloty. He thinks the thing is become of the city just a nuisance, because there were problems with the original artist.

“This is an arbitrary act,” says Karl iron Rieder, operator of the café Münchner Freiheit, near the bronze statue of the Monaco Franze-actor Helmut Fischer is situated. Dietl should join him. The financing of the Statue had been secured by various donors to an account of the city, says Lederer-Piloty. About 70 000 euros came in addition to other of the City’s savings banks Foundation of Constantin Film and of the family of iron Rieder. Also, the district Committee had agreed a contribution of 25 000 Euro from the Budget.

“It is a question of the view of the commemoration in the public space,” says Michael Schlachter from the Board of Directors of the city of Munich has set itself in the past few months, with the thing apart. After a ten-month test is now used as the city Council decision, he sent himself. The city Council had the Statue rejected the recommendation of the district Committee for a Dietl-back in April, because it was already at “different places in different formats, or the culture of memory references to Helmut Dietl”.

This was around Schwabing a mention in the cultural history trail-free man of 2009, an exhibition at the house of literature in 2016/2017. In addition, there is in Berg am Laim, a street was named after the Director. Thus, the “highest personal assessment had been implemented” a year after his death in the public space. The initiators, above all the BA-Chairman of Lederer Piloty, found the decision “unbelievable”. Many hours of commitment of the Stakeholders associated with it.

“I won’t loose.”
