Protest against S-Bahn Berlin: Monument in danger

A new S-Bahn project in Berlin causes excitement in the city. The planned S21 line is to better combine the north and south of the city, but there is a risk of being damaged. This is unacceptable for many citizens.

The S21 is to run from Wedding and Westhafen via the main train station to Yorckstrasse to improve the connection of the S-Bahn lines. This would make the journey through Berlin faster and more efficient. However, the planned route would threaten the memorial for the Sinti and Roma murdered in National Socialism, which is met with violent criticism.

The Romani Phen Berlin Archive and other representatives of interest see the construction project a violation of historical responsibility and demand alternative routes to protect the memorial. The planned route would consider access to the memorial during the construction project, which is perceived as disrespectful.

Romani Phen Berlin, the Federal Roma Association and other representatives of interests have come together in protest to act against the project of the S-Bahn Berlin. You collect signatures and call for a review of the planned route. The decision of the S-Bahn Berlin is unclear for the time being.
