The Berlin Senate causes plenty of excitement: After massive protests had startled the authorities, they now withdraw part of the intended billions of cuts in the area of ​​transport and culture. According to the Tagesspiegel , traffic safety is not attacked, and the planned savings of one million euros for foot traffic are also off the table. Only a reduction of three million euros already planned to improve the cycling infrastructure was reduced to 1.5 million euros. The subsidy for the popular NEXTBIKE rental bike system remains unchanged at 1.5 million euros, while the measures for road lighting, which would otherwise be important at 8.6 million euros, also have to be withdrawn. However, there will be no return for the conversion of the B96 in Tempelhof, since the contracts have already been concluded.

At the same time, the entire savings that the Senate strives, but with a crazy thing of 3 billion euros, such as rbb24 The big outcry comes from the cultural and educational landscape: Here are cuts of 130 million euros in the cultural sector, which corresponds to around 12 percent of the budget. The big Berlin theater in particular have to save. The Schaubühne and the German Theater are only two of numerous facilities that have to reduce their budget by several million euros. Even the grants for the free museum Sunday, which is offered once a month, are deleted.

The red pencil does not fail to materialize in other places: the Senate plans to shorten the grants for various social institutions and auxiliary programs. Among other things, the focal point for particularly demanded teachers is canceled, which is particularly dramatic for schools in socially weaker. The Senate also screws the expenses down in the daycare area, since the need for new places is assessed less. One thing is clear: the financial challenges that Berlin require that many areas of public life are severely affected, while the exact dimensions of the cuts are only decided on December 19. So the tension remains high!
