FRIDAY, JANUARY 16, 1948 3 Sw ' Designer Draws Ambitious Plans For New Berlin By KEITH GARNER Berlin--(Reuters)--Berliners by the hundreds are visiting a half- ruined building in their city's Rus- sian sector to inspect plans for re- building Berlin as a fitting capital for the Fourth Reich. A new Reichstag, a new foreign office and a new diplomatic quar- ter are all provided for in the lans, produced by one of the city's oremost architects at the request of Berlin's city administration. In 100 years' time, the planners hope, Berlin will rise again as a city of concrete arcades and great through roads, equipped with air- ports for baby planes but still recognizable as the capital that disappeared after years of bomb- ing and 10 days' shelling and seige by Red Army troops. The plans provide for great new super-highways to connect the capital with key provincial centres and new networks of railroads ra- diating from a vast, new central terminus. Chief of the planners is Dr. Karl Bonatz, grey-haired architect who is in charge of the Berlin city as- sembly's planning and building de- partment. y Maps and models of his new Berlin have been drawing big crowds since they were placed on show in Berlin's bomb-damaged Stadthaus, deep in the maze of ruined streets that once formed the main business area. His plan, regarded by town plan- ning experts as probably the most practical so far produced, contains these main points. . 1. Retention of the historic character of the centre of Berlin. The principal streets would be re- built but "modernized and ration=- alized" where necessary. 2. The construction of new through thoroughfares to relieve traffic congestion and the provision of a new circular road around the inner city with outlets to a net- work of mew super-highways. > Extension of the subway and suriace electric railways to reduce to a ,nunimum the number of street cars and busses on the streets. 4. Utilization where possible of the 21,000,000 cubic feet of rubble that will have to be cleared away before any real start can be made. Dr. Bonatz says that he be- lieves the greatest fault with all previous plans tor rebuilding Ber- lin was tnat their originato.s pro- posed scrapping the entire city rayout and starting fr scratcn on entirely new lines. "L want Berlin to re-emerge as one of the worlds great modern capitals," he said, "but at the same time L want the next one or two generations to live in a city that 1s at least recognizable as the city we Knew in 1939." 'the Bonatz plan also provides for the retention of tamed Unter Den Linden, now a pot-holed roaa- way running through ruined shops, museums and hotels in the Rus- sian sector. West of the Unter Den Linden, the 'Liergarten, now a dreary waste sown with cabbages and potatoes, would be replanted with trees and lined with mulberry bushes. One important feature of the plan is the removal from its pres- ent site in the Tiergarten of the Reichstag building, badly damaged by fire in the early days of the hitler regime and reduced to a hulk by subsequent bombing. START WAGE TALKS Sault Ste, Marie, Jan. 16--(CP)-- Algoma Steel Corporation officials yesterday started wage discussions with representatives of Local 2251 of the United Steelworkers of Am- erica (CIO) who seek what the un. ion terms "adequate wage raises to meet the increase in living costs."
