From bunker-Sauer Street, corner Silcherstraße (Hamburg Bahrenfeld)

© www.espritdescalier.de - Stefan Fix, 2008 T his Bunker house is located in the Von-Sauer-Straße 42 in the Hamburg district of Bahr field. It is one of the last building before the A7, if you come from the east and travels out of town. The example shows this shelter, how can make bearable with such simple means the appearance of gray blocks, without denying history.
It is conceivable for a simple trompe l'oeil, which it invests less to disguise the true nature of his critical gaze long and earnestly, but rather the fact to avoid the roving eye too painful ugliness. © www.espritdescalier.de - Stefan Fix, 2008 The red color is gray facade of the former is not only a warmer look, but it integrates well into the series of adjacent, built of red brick houses. In the fake windows give her openness and brightness, and ensure that the block has a less monolithic. The large number of round vents were integrated geometrically well. The details of two human faces and a black cat that adorn three of the putative window assets, even to create some vibrancy. Like most other Hamburg bunker, is this also used as advertising space. At the moment these are two panels with varying advertising and a sustainable space rented. Also located on the roof of the bunker or a monstrous transmission / reception and mast, which can be accessed via a fixed ladder in the backyard. The facade is to be seen from the backyard and lush greenery everywhere. Whether and if so, how the bunker interior is used, the author is not known.

© www.espritdescalier.de - Stefan Fix, 2008 All in all we have here is a simple but fulfilling its purpose perfectly illusionistic painting. Why then are so many gray bunker? The horrors of war can only be due to the ugliness of our everyday surroundings make understandable. So why not to make the facades of at least warmer? It is unlikely that even a few of the Nazi brainwashing succumbs when bunker facades remain gray. On the contrary. © www.espritdescalier.de - Stefan Fix, 2008 Gray bunkers with Nazis serve more as an excellent template for their self-pitying and audacious thesis of the "Holocaust of bombs". The ugliness of many German cities today they attribute not to the Nazis, but to the Allies and enemies such as the commander in chief of the Royal Air Force Bomber Command, Arthur Harris, who is then often referred to as "Bomber Harris". But Harris did have not so far wrong that it was the German Reich, which had begun to make the civilian population to the target of terrorist attacks. This fact makes the carpet bombing by the Allies while not human, is yet massively the right of Germans questioned what the Allied air raids, from the context resolved as immoral denounce without mentioning just that Nazis and were British, the Gernika to 80 percent destroyed, deliberately fired on fleeing civilians and therefore this immorality in the young phenomenon of the air war in the first introduced. © www.espritdescalier.de - Stefan Fix, 2008 The ostensible strategic goal, however - a bridge that is - was not hit by a single bomb. Is also welcome to suggest that there were Nazis, Coventry, Rotterdam, Warsaw, London and Belgrade bombed.
To what extent are considering German extermination and concentration camps and killed several million people to be accused of all the Allies an immoral actions against the civilian population, is questionable anyway. Rather, the question arises as to whether the Allied bombing targeted the infrastructure of the industrial extermination camps the Nazis were able to stop killings. © www.espritdescalier.de - Stefan Fix, 2008 Finally, the Allies was announced by the decryption of Enigma messages from 1943, what was before him in the death camps.
In particular, leading to the extermination camps of railway lines could have been bombed. During a meeting at the British Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden 6th July 1944 suggested Chaim Weizmann, representing the Jewish Agency to bomb the railway line Budapest-Auschwitz and the extermination facilities available within the camp. But the Allies were of the view that a quick victory over the Third Reich was the most effective means for concentration camp prisoners, which is why, despite initial openness to bombing a concentration camp infrastructure which ultimately refrained.

Bunker Eimsbütteler, Glücksburger street corner (Eimsbüttel)

T his Bunker house is located in the Eimsbütteler road between the house number 129 to 137 to the left and the rights and claims therefore that is three house numbers for themselves. The building serves as a carrier of wireless service antennas as well as an advertising medium. It also serves as the basis for rank ivy. Where is the question here, who actually serves whom. Actually, it probably serves the ivy to the environment erparen to the sight of this bunker of exquisite ugliness. The blind facade provides a very sad sight. If the city of Hamburg, for any reason whatsoever, the demolition of this ugly logs out of the question, but one wonders why its citizens are not at least one of whatever kind trompe-l'oeil begrudge.

That kind of facade painting and trompe l'oeil means only a temporary solution for concealing architectural deficiencies must be shown by the example of the city of Lyon, which has probably by and large less necessary than in Hamburg, to remove architectural eyesores. Trompe-l'oeil facade there are now far advanced over Lyons known far beyond its original purpose and even became a tourist attraction. In addition, the Lyon wall paintings and the postcard and consequently a symbol of the city. Responsible for this enhancement is the refreshing city of twelve Lyons artists group "La Cité de la Création", which for more than 25 years artistically embellished facades and become a worldwide reference for the trompe-l'oeil painting on facades. On a "La Cité de la Création" dedicated website to read that the group had achieved so far, 139 projects with more than 1,000 murals. Also there is a variety magnificent images that document the work of the muralists impressive group. A large number of before and after pictures showing what can be achieved for incredible effects that fantastic illusions of three-dimensionality, which color variety and vitality. On the home page of "La Cité de la Création" a multitude finds more pictures and information in French and English. more>
