Future of the ZLB: move to Galeria Kaufhof on Alexanderplatz?

In a new turning point in the debate about the Central and State Library Berlin (ZLB), a move is now being discussed. Culture Senator Joe Chialo (CDU) conducted talks with the owners of the Galeria Kaufhof on Alexanderplatz about the possible integration of the ZLB into the building ensemble. This emerges from a response from the Senate Culture Administration to a parliamentary request. The background is the dilapidated conditions of the current library buildings, which are urgently needed to renovate.

The owners, Commerz Real AG, have already developed alternative locations within the Galeria complex. The Senate supports every sustainable solution that ensures the future of the ZLB, but emphasizes the priority of maintaining the department store and the jobs there. Further options will be examined by Berliner Immobilienmanagement GmbH, while the considerations for the ZLB will continue to be promoted according to information from www.rbb-online.de .
