it is based to reuse the building, but I feel like an exception to the "dont touch historic buildings" law could be made in this instance. you don't have to re-face it, just smooth it out and make it match the rest of the brick!
german historic building preservation is incredibly anal about this even going by german standards to the point I'm genuinely surprised the faceless megacorp would hedge their bet on this property
To make matters worse it's at best done at a county level and is embedded in germanys deeply "whatever" building codes which results in at best like 3 jerk-off architectural dipshits deciding what goes and what doesn't with little legal recourse
Like not to jump in the trenches for Burger King here but surely unless you install a plaque every bit of historical pathos is gone from the building once it becomes a burger king
Yeah, even in Poland some chain shops placed smack dab in the middle of the city in the "historic" areas have to change their corporate signage to a bland shade of brown and gray to "blend in"
i don't mind that, fuck their corporate advertising
I feel like the real problem is the chain store being there in the first place, not its colors (the advertising still stands but redesigned)
one thing at a time
