Abstract

The author suggests that the vast undertaking that is the refurbishing of Berlin as the capital again of a re-unified Germany has brought about both a concentration and taking of strategic initiatives on the Part of Big Money, real estate operators and holdings and other companies of international weight and this in horrible contrast to the needs of the city's actual floating population of immigrant labourers. The situation is seen to embrace factors running from the «Jewish Question» -that turning upon the real estate claims of those whose property was confiscated by the Nazis- to the mad rush to set themselves up in the economic heartland of Europe on the part the great international companies, this last implying and giving rise to equally great city and territorial planning projects and architectural flights aimed at doing up that still unfinished and never quite repaired city. The author, however, would have us consider the situation from the point of view of said labour force, the paper pointing out to what a degree this is being exploited and ripped-off by the «boom» while both living and working under conditions long felt to have been abolished along with other ancient miseries.
