Why can't Germany complete its Unity Monument? DW 10/02/2024
Briefly

The Unity Monument in Berlin was designed as a walkable shell, known as the 'Einheitswippe' or 'unity seesaw,' symbolizing the peaceful protests that led to reunification.
Despite the Bundestag's vote for the monument 17 years ago, construction remains unfinished, caught in disputes over funds and legal issues among different agencies.
Inauguration was planned for 2019, but delays due to political debates, bureaucratic hurdles, and safety concerns hindered construction, despite completion of foundational work.
Claudia Roth's office is actively seeking solutions to implement the Bundestag resolutions regarding the Freedom and Unity Monument, indicating the situation's complexity and challenges.
