Culture Commissioner Claudia Roth does not consider the Christian
symbols on the Berlin Palace to be cosmopolitan, and therefore they
are inappropriate. In asserting this she makes a huge mistake, says
Gunnar Schupelius. Quotations from the Bible can be seen on the
dome of the Berlin City Palace. They are located all around the
Tambour, in gold lettering on a blue background.
[Claudia Roth] The Federal Government Commissioner for Culture
and Media, Claudia Roth (Greens), wants to make the Bible words
there disappear and overwrite them with other texts. An "art project
for the temporary superimposition of the reconstructed inscription
with alternative, commenting and reflective texts" is being worked
on, she wrote to the CDU/CSU parliamentary group at their request.
She did not write exactly what these texts should look like.
The quotations from the Bible were selected by King Friedrich
Wilhelm IV (1795-1861) and reconstructed on the dome in 2020.
Literally it says there: "There is no salvation other than in the
name of Jesus, to the glory of God the Father. That at the name
of Jesus every knee should bow, which are in heaven and on earth
and under the earth."
The inscription drew criticism from the start. The Christian words
would exclude other religions, it said. The state-run "Humboldt
Forum Foundation in the Berlin Palace" then placed a plaque next
to the dome on the roof terrace with this text: "All institutions in
the Humboldt Forum expressly distance themselves from
Christianity's claim to sole validity and sovereignty, which the
inscription expresses."
That wasn't enough for Claudia Roth. She repeatedly emphasized
that the words from the Bible and the golden cross on the dome
contradict the "cosmopolitanism" that characterizes the Humboldt
Forum. "I've got to tackle this," she said on February 21, 2022
in an interview with the Tagesspiegel. So now she picks it up, and
the Bible words are "superimposed".
Is it true that the quotes document the "claim to power
of Christianity"? No, that's not what they originally meant. They
come from Paul's letter to the Philippians (Philippians 2:6-11). He
called for kneeling only before Christ and not before the Roman
emperor. [And that's why it is now controversial and un-cosmopolitan.
Bow to the emperor, you dirty peasants.]
The Catholic Archbishop of Berlin, Heiner Koch, said in an interview
with the BZ that the words of the Bible are still to be understood
today, namely "that people should only bow before God and should
not show this honor to any earthly power." This speaks of a great
freedom. [That's not something that can be allowed in this so-called
"free" society.]
It is strange how the Federal Government, under the leadership
of Claudia Roth, is campaigning against words that have been in the
Holy Scriptures for 2,000 years and which they apparently did not
understand at all. [I rather doubt that they've even read the Bible
or any other scripture from other "religions". If they had, they
wouldn't flood Europe with hostiles, now, would they?]
The City Palace was reconstructed, as the Bundestag wanted it to
be. But as soon as it was built, it was fought against. Inside, any
reconstruction has been forbidden and the original decorations should
no longer exist in the surrounding area, but instead an Indian gate.
