"The idea of giving the Mehringplatz
a new look with a deeper meaning is extremely appealing and I very
much hope your plans come to fruition."

point to the Mehringplatz as well as to the entire Friedrichstrasse,
which will fill tourists as well as Berlin residents with enthusiasm.”

living space and urbanity together with game and ancient millennium
old wisdom proves as an ingenious solution to modern urbanity."

project,
the Berlin Oracle and its aim of reviving the Mehringplatz, one
