Exhibition in damaged display case to be renewed
The exhibition in the display case in front of Tiergarten Town Hall, which was damaged at the weekend, is to be renewed. This was announced by the Mitte district office on Monday. The amount of damage is currently being determined by the district office. "The destroyed display case was initially secured and cordoned off." On Sunday, a passer-by reported to the police that the display case with an exhibition on the Jewish history of the Moabit hospital had been damaged.
According to the police, a window of the display case had been smashed with stones and an attempt had also been made to set the display case on fire. According to the police, the state criminal investigation department is investigating damage to property with a political background. According to the association "They were neighbors", the exhibition had been on display in the showcase since the beginning of November and was to be shown until the end of December.
District Mayor Stefanie Remlinger (Greens) met with representatives of the association on Monday, according to the district office. "The association and the district office want to leave the destroyed display case in its current state for a while as a reminder against anti-Semitic violence." However, there is to be another exhibition in a few weeks' time. "The district office and the association are in close contact about the design."
"The attack makes me sad and angry at the same time. There is no justification for such an act," said Remlinger. According to the district office, there have been several suspected anti-Semitic attacks at Tiergarten town hall in recent weeks. For example, two Israeli flags were torn down and stolen and a flagpole was damaged.
The damage to the exhibition showcasing the Jewish history of Moabit hospital, which included elements of crime such as vandalism and attempted arson, is being categorized as a case of property damage with a political background by the state criminal investigation department. The district mayor, Stefanie Remlinger, has expressed her concern about the rising instances of suspected anti-Semitic attacks in the Tiergarten district, including the recent incident of an exhibition display case being damaged with anti-Semitic motives.
