With so much discussion going on with former Nazi Party relics these days, German developers are trying to revive a valuable real estate, the Nazi built Prora resort complex which served to Hitler's upper ranks. Once it is fixed and put on the market, it will be called "Sea Symphony" with a slogan, "Awakened with a kiss and beautifully renovated."

A renovation and redesign is far better than ruins that can be looked at in a longing way for some element of the past that should never be allowed to be idolized or romanticized. Death and destruction may not have happened at this site but it represents the corruption and the abuse of power that allowed it to happen, erasing the pleasantries of the Nazi regime is ok with me as this is not the important part of the past that we should learn our lessons from.

I'm so thankful that someone is doing some thing with these ruins. Their are millions, I'd not more of properties like this wasting away. Architects, Investors, and landlords alike should renovate more structures such as these instead of the constant creation of new ones taking up precious and invaluable vacant land. Our world is being consumed by man made structures eating up our natural resources. Call me crazy if you will but global warming is real, our societies reproduction rates are real. Our earth can only withstand so much. I just wish more people would be on board of these types of projects and reconstructions. Get over the history of the building and it's original purpose. So many beautiful things in life bloom out of negative starts.
Calling Patrik Schumacher - here's your chance to build a capitalist complex for the master race. You can call it Liber Village.
Maybe that will make up for losing the Liberland competition.
I'd stay out of the "steam" room.
