Why Do I Get Palpitations When I Drink Red Wine

The various locations, our opinions

According to our city guides, we have discussed at length yesterday about the possible location of the monument and gathered all the points that speak for and against. Started

AUGUSTUS PLACE
we have with the Augustus Platz. Here above all was the group from Krakow that the monument should be erected in any case here.
The reasons for this were:
  • the historical significance of the place in connection with the peaceful revolution
  • the central location, with many visitors and passers
  • the place as a tourist attraction
4 votes for the Augustus Platz (as of 02/16/2011).
expressed contrast, the Leipzig group rather negegativ:
  • the slot is already beautiful, the many fountains, monuments, etc. that are already out, form a unit that would be destroyed by a new monument
  • is really the place now would have been very busy
  • a monument to be highly visible, so it ever is responsible. This would make it but under Also cover other things
The group that had participated in the urban space management, also expressed concerns because of the static. For a heavy monument would have to be reinforced garage, which would entail enormous costs.
The solution suggested the group to build the monument on the Leuschnerplatz to rename the place but still in Augustus' place of the Peaceful Revoultion.

Wilhelm-Leuschner-Platz
Leuschner The place was the clear favorite.
suggest the following:
  • the place is strategically located between the city library and the new city hall and downtown
  • it attracts many people - especially through the stops by tram and City Tunnel
  • the monument would enliven the whole place
  • there is plenty of room available
  • the monument would be the redesign of the square a gain for the whole city
  • an axis for the Battle Monument would be possible
  • Presumably this is the cheapest option (although some concerns were expressed about the loads of the city tunnel)
speaks against:
  • the Leuschnerplatz is not a direct site of the peaceful revolution
Here, the following solution offered :
  • perhaps could be a "ring monument with a memorial on the Leuschnerplatz connect
  • on the historic tour was pointed out that the demonstrators on 9 October 1989, the ring for the first time fully circulated. On Leuschnerplatz joined the train.
5 / 3 votes for the Wilhelm-Leuschner-Platz (as of 02/16/2011).
RING
got the ring as a whole only doubting encouragement.

speaks in favor:
  • much of the historically relevant places covered
  • the protest was a movement. This could be be illustrated with a better ring than with a static memorial monument at a certain place
speaks Degegen:
  • as a running track is the distance to large (approx. 2 km), also can not run the ring as pedestrians throughout.
  • there is no central place of memory
  • when you think about the content of the monument, then it seems only possible in a ring monument to focus on the historical events in the foreground. A forward-looking monument we could not imagine here. There
  • many small monuments already. Even more would confuse rather
As solutions we have gathered:
  • maybe there is a design that makes it possible at any point of the ring and begin to understand that the ring monument as a whole.
  • it offers a combination of the Leuschnerplatz
4 / 2 votes for the promenade ring (as of 16/02/2011)..
