Gigantomania has gone too far in Germany and environmentalists are up in arms.
The Frankfurt newspaper FAZ under the title "20 Minutes vs. 2000 Years" has a photo model of the over-dimensional bridge planned for the Moselle River right through the middle of unique Mosel winegrowing region. See Moselbrücke: Zwanzig Minuten gegen zweitausend Jahre
The German Bildzeitung at Bild.de also has a photo model which may show even better the gigantomania of the bridge.
Read our commentary to this bridge in our previous postings:
Mostly for our German readers: Die geplante Moselhochbrücke virtuell nach Berlin an die Siegessäule versetzt: Zwei mögliche Alternativstrecken (Ku'damm oder Kanzleramt), wobei die Moselbrücke 158 Meter hoch ist und die Siegessäule nur 67 Meter
In German for our German readers: Mosel: Brücke: Moselhochbrücke: Moselhochübergang: Wenn schon, dann lieber ÜBER Brauneberg bauen
Building of Monstrous Mosel Bridge Paused for Coalition Negotiations Between the Social Democratic Party and the Environmentalist Green Party
Winemakers Unite to Oppose the Building of an Ugly and Unnecessary Bridge over the Moselle River in Germany's Famed Mosel Wine Region. But is it TOO LATE?
