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
