Permanent construction site in Saxony-Anhalt - Brussels' plaster is deteriorating.
A seven-story structure located in Brussels' area, dating back to 1969, is owned by Saxony-Anhalt. Previously the GDR's embassy, this structure received a facelift in 2006, costing the state nine million euros, providing approximately 4,000 square meters of usable area.
Recently, the Saxon-Anhaltian government has been forced to utilize other locations for gatherings in Brussels. A music event held in April took place within an ancient monastery. An advertisement for the kid's movie "Spuk unterm Riesenrad", filmed in the Salzland region, could be found in a private school.
The building contains a sophisticated room accommodating more than 400 people. However, this space is inaccessible due to parts of the illuminated ceiling, installed in 2006 by three interior designers from Halle, crashing down. Dust was also coming down.
Ute Albersmann, the deputy state spokesperson, confirms that, as a result of safety concerns, it is not permitted to stay in the hall currently. She doesn't disclose the rental costs for other venues, stating that the "occasional expenses" would be covered by the representation's event budget.
The Ministry of Finance responsible for the Brussels building is now estimating the expense of remodeling the ceiling and planning out the work. This should be completed by April 2025, and the hall will allegedly be usable again.
This is not the only ongoing renovation project. Even plaster was peeling off the building's rear façade. After temporary safety measures, reconstruction of the façade and balconies is set to begin in June. 2.9 million euros have been allotted for this work. According to the timeline, by early 2025, Saxony-Anhalt's EU representation will no longer pose a safety risk on the outside.
