Isn't it a bid odd for a former Eastener, the first female chancellor in Germany to be responsible for building yet another wall in Germany. This time it will only be 12km long; 2.50m high and at the little cost of 11 Mio Euro!
To be honest, it is more of a fence but still it is about fundamentally excluding people from Heiligendamm. Obviously, the official language is different - and it is about security and protection of the heads of state of the G8 countries as they are also expecting some 50.000 protestors. For sure, a fence that is built now and will be demolished right after the summit (lasting 6-8th June) to protect Merkel and her "partners in crime" is causing some controversy in an area in Germany with beautiful landscape but lack of employment options so that in fact there aren't that many people living anymore in or around Heiligendamm...but many will come and visit later this year; e.g. also some 16.000 police men
