Apparently in order not to provoke the “new citizens”, the city of Dresden is removing the sculpture of a naked woman in front of the luxury hotel aka refugee accommodation. “Die Sinnende”, which had been there for 47 years, was removed on the instructions of the Green building mayor. Now the mostly young, Muslim men can move into their posh accommodation – a former hotel – undisturbed by German art.
For 47 years, the sculpture “Die Sinnende” stood in front of the Robotron complex in Dresden. The bronze sculpture of a lolling female nude was created by sculptor Horst Brühmann (1942-2014). Now it has been removed and relocated to a place where it can no longer be seen by the public. Allegedly a matter of routine, the city administration claims. This justification – blamed on the Green building mayor Stephan Kühn – is also likely to be another Green lie.
“We are only accommodating men here – from Afghanistan, Syria and Venezuela,” is the information provided by Dresden’s Green building mayor Kühn, who – as jouwatch reported – is extremely concerned about the well-being of the 280, almost exclusively “single, male” new guests – who will be staying in the former hotel at taxpayer expense until 2024. In addition to the distribution of the newly renovated hotel rooms according to origin and religion, this also includes various leisure facilities, prayer rooms and a hairdresser. Oh yes- for the culinary well-being, the hotel guests will be supplied with breakfast, lunch and dinner. “During Ramadan, we adjust our working hours accordingly,” explains the chef, who always tries to adapt the menu to the needs of the residents and offer special products such as dates. The all-round feel-good package costs the taxpayer a total of 36,000 euros a month in rent – for ten years.
With so much cultural dedication and mindfulness, the green mayor of the public works department seems to have decided that the sculpture of a naked woman, which had been in front of the building for 47 years, must also be removed, so that his mostly Muslim male guests can really feel completely at ease.
In response to a question from the newspaper Bild, a spokeswoman for the city said flippantly: “The ‘Sinnende’ has left its traditional place in front of the former City Hostel and is now pondering in the inner courtyard of the large office complex”. One would have had to make room for it.
Wow! I just can’t believe it but then again sounds about right for today’s time and way of thinking. We just don’t want to offend anyone but they don’t mind causing problems.
