Köln: Municipal Council approves construction of Archaeological Zone
19 May 2010
On April 13th the Municipal Council of Köln decided by majority vote for the building and the continuation of planning the Archaeological Zone and the Jewish Museum. This decision is, however, subject to a financial reservation, due to a large financial gap created by the withdrawal of the supporting Association for the Jewish Museum. Municipal Council affirms, however, his intention to realize this very important project for Europe.
Northern-Westphalia has already agreed in written form to give 14.3 million Euro. There is still a gap of 20 million Euro vis-à-vis a total of 48 million Euro. This decision now opens up the possibility to file new applications. That is why the Municipal Council is confident, that this project will be managed together with the land North-Rhine Westphalia.
