The artist Michael Fischer-Art is worried about his famous mural on German unity opposite Leipzig's main railway station. Because a hotel is to be built on the site, the future of the painting is unclear, the painter told the German Press Agency.
Despite a previous agreement to preserve and archive the famous mural, the construction company responsible has begun to concrete over parts of the artwork on Brühl. The 3,000 square meter painting depicts scenes from the Leipzig Monday demonstrations, the escape movement of the summer of 1989 and the fall of the Berlin Wall.
