Before and after:

I believe they have laws against potentially tampering with the condition of historic buildings beyond removing illegal symbols. Not sure why Burger King couldn't just put their sign over it though, considering it's literally above an entrance

[-] AntiOutsideAktion@hexbear.net 10 points 2 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago)

Wouldn't want the signage to be in people's faces. Just a nice, small, functional sign over the door. No needless decoration either. Here is a small cage for your children to play in.

A bit risky without the context

I think it's based to repurpose literal Nazi stuff with banal business. Is my opinion wrong and I'm bad for thinking so?

[-] Carl@hexbear.net 12 points 3 hours ago

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!

[-] 7bicycles@hexbear.net 9 points 2 hours ago

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

[-] Cysioland@lemmygrad.ml 2 points 31 minutes ago

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"

Clocking in for my shift at Burgerwald

[-] AnarchoAnarchist@hexbear.net 29 points 7 hours ago

It has been 80 years, can't they power wash or paint or something?

[-] Gosplan14_the_Third@hexbear.net 11 points 5 hours ago

Monument protection laws, I believe. The building is old enough.

[-] Lurkmore@hexbear.net 30 points 6 hours ago

Why bother if they're proud?

[-] JustinTheGM@ttrpg.network 7 points 6 hours ago

To be utterly fair, they could be proud of having defeated the prior tenants. Equivalent of putting your enemy's head on a pike.

[-] InexplicableLunchFiend@hexbear.net 10 points 4 hours ago

But they aren’t, considering as they are embracing fascism, colonialism, war mongering, Russophobia and actively support Nazis in Ukraine. They are the Nazis still they never “defeated the prior tenants”. The prior tenants became the leaders of NATO.

[-] Gosplan14_the_Third@hexbear.net 12 points 5 hours ago

Most of the area dedicated to the Nazi Party Gathering area has been repurposed into Langwasser, a commieblock (but western) residential neighborhood with a 2/3 majority of foreigners and people with at least one foreign parent ("Menschen mit Migrationshintergrund").

Nuremberg has recently reached 51% of its population being either first generation foreigners or having a foreign background (Eastern Europeans, Turks, Arabs and Vietnamese mostly). It's a city largely divided between north and south, with the north being wealthier and more German, and the south poorer and mostly foreign.

The poorest areas are also the ones getting most gentrified, because that's where the fucking students move in. There's areas in Gostenhof, an area that used to vote for the Left Party, that was won by the "Politbande", an electoral list of the culture scene for the culture scene, which got 2% elsewhere. If you hear someone speak English, instead of Turkish on the street - that's likely a gentrifier.

Germans didn't defeat the Nazis.

[-] LeeeroooyJeeenkiiins@hexbear.net 28 points 6 hours ago

Being Austrian is just being German with extra steps

Austrians just exist as a reminder to the rest of Europe that you can always be a little more racist
