The Ernst Reuther
Platz Tils
Berlin in 1998 realised it had
not enough money to run and maintatin its fountains. Berlin has
several. Just Rome is said to have more. The lack of moneywas
upsetting even the son of the former mayor of Berlin, this public
space was named after. Helping hands came fro artists living
in Berlin, who rescued and used the tils for artwork, this way
saved a lot of the demolishing costs and by selling the artwork
managed to fund the reconstruction of the fountain. (browse the
hostory, which was widely supported by the latter Artbust) |
