The topping-out ceremony in the course of the million dollar renovation of the Magdeburg Hypar shell was accompanied by protests on Tuesday.
In addition to the striking building structure, the surrounding open spaces are also to be renewed, as the city announced.
The citizens' initiative “Rotehornpark save!” Protested against this, as the planning includes the construction of a large car park.
Magdeburg - The cost of the renovation of the listed building, which has been vacant for more than 20 years, amounts to around 18.1 million euros, according to the city.
The Hypar shell was built in 1969 as a trade fair and exhibition center.
