A villa once owned by Adolf Hitler’s propaganda minister, Joseph Goebbels, is reportedly going to be given away in an effort to end a decades-long debate.
Berlin’s government is offering to give away a villa once owned by Adolf Hitler’s propaganda minister, Joseph Goebbels, hoping to end a decades-long debate on whether to repurpose or bulldoze a sprawling disused site in the countryside north of the German capital. 'I offer to anyone who would like to take over the site, to take it over as a gift from the state of Berlin,' Berlin’s finance minister, Stefan Evers, told the state parliament on Thursday, dpa reported.
Evers renewed that offer on Thursday, calling for proposals that reflected the site’s history. He didn’t say if proposals from private individuals would also be considered. 'If we fail again, as in the past decades, then Berlin has no other option but to carry out the demolition that we have already prepared for,' Evers said.
After the war, the 42-acre site was used briefly as a hospital, then taken over by the youth wing of the East German communist party, which constructed a training center, including several large accommodation blocks. After German reunification in 1990, ownership of the site returned to the state of Berlin. However, the city found no use for it.
