The forgotten Gotha: aqueduct before that - who takes care of?

The forgotten Gotha: aqueduct before that - who takes care of?

in Gotha a centuries -old building causes excitement: the aqueduct, a waterway for 179 years, is suddenly "own -free". Despite its status as a technical monument, the city is there without clear responsibility. The cast iron bridge railing already has initial bad damage because the object is hardly waited. "This is both a shame and embarrassing," says Dirk Bernkopf, who accompanied the construction of the rail bypass around the monument in the 1990s. He admits that he should have indicated the unexplained ownership of ownership at an early stage.

The city of Göttingen is planning for 2025 big celebrations on the occasion of “1250 years of Gotha”. The aqueduct should play a major role. Experts warn that repairs are urgently needed to set the historical building in time for the celebrations. After all, nobody wants to experience a “water art without water”! The pressure on the city is growing to clarify the property and repair questions from the festivities in order to preserve the city's legacy.
