Sie ist die architektonische Umsetzung der Idee des Temporären. Und ist über den befristeten Zeitraum von acht Jahren, bis voraussichtlich 2019, ein [...] Continue Reading…

So it was going to be either Hertha BSC Berlin or FC Köln which survived yesterdays – both mainstays of the German Bundesliga for the past ½ century – and the one to definitively drop-out became Koln.
