A controversial art installation that would have rebuilt part of the Berlin Wall in the German capital has been put on hold by city authorities over safety concerns.
But it now hangs in the balance after Berlin authorities announced they were rejecting the application on safety grounds.
“This was never about whether or not the project makes sense, that was never any of our business,” said Matthias Tang, a spokesperson for the Berlin authorities.
Whether DAU Freedom will yet transform Berlin city centre remains unclear.
