I just saw this article in DW, about Berlin's government trying to give away Goebbel's Villa instead of tearing it down (https://www.dw.com/en/berlin-offers-up-villa-owned-by-nazi-propagandist-goebbels-for-free/a-68991201).

I was wondering what is the general opinion about this. It is the first time I hear about this place and I can imagine nobody wanting to use this at all, but do you guys think it could be given a good use?

  1. If it’s for free I will definitely sign up to use it, put some money in it to clean it up and have a nice big house for free.

  2. I always find it fiscally short-sighted when local governments get rid of real estate they own. They should probably demolish it and keep the land in public ownership just in case we need it down the line.

  3. Nobody wants the villa. It is a listed building and may not be demolished or structurally altered. However, the owner would have to invest a lot of money to renovate everything and make it usable again.
