Lonan3 Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 From Ananova Friday 7th April 2006: A German town hoping to be named Culture Capital of Europe has just noticed that council workmen laid a swastika in a cobbled street. Officials at Goerlitz have apologised after the large Nazi symbol, which is forbidden in Germany, was laid into the pavement late last year. It was done by workers employed by the local council to repave the pedestrian area and remained unnoticed for almost four months until a local resident complained. A spokeswoman for the office of Mayor Joachim Paulick said: "This is a catastrophe, especially as we are hoping to be named Culture Capital for 2010. We will make sure it is removed."

Amadeus Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 I bet it was done in record time and with a perfect finish - don't get that from the DoT.... I've actually been to Görlitz once - the darkest city I have ever seen. I'm convinced that town was the visual inspiration for Dark City. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
