Germany rebuilds Berlin palace
I'm not entirely sure what I think of this project. Without a king or kaiser to live in it, what's the point? And
why a "modern interior" featuring "non-European art"? The German
government seem to be heading for all the usual republican criticisms
of spending money on palaces without any of the advantages of an actual
monarchy. That said, any attempt to reverse the dismal architectural legacy of Europe's horrific 20th century should at least improve the
visual experience for residents and visitors.

I am as bewildered as you on this one. Why are they even building it if they are not bringing monarchy back?
To have a modern interior and feature non-European art is also distasteful.
