The 2000 Hannover World expo fair was not received with big enthusiasm. The number of visitors was much lower then expected and suggested in advance. Did it lack inspiration? The situation somewhere in the middle of Germany - a political choice; in the the center betweem West and the newly united East Germany - within a very provincial and moderate town did not help. It is perhaps not very attractive. There is no reason for it to be there. After the expo, the unemployment rate radically increased. People started to leave the region. Who, under such circumstances, can invest in the maintenance of the expo? Almost none of the buildings were re-used afterwards. Many of them were broken down. Except the Dutch Pavilion. Why? Had it indeed become a kind of monument? The Dutch pavilion remained as a solitary element within a landscape that resembled the fallout of a nuclear bomb. Fences were erected around the building. Lifts, trees and windmills were dismantled. Thousands of birds started to inhabit the vacant structure. Squatters (other birds) started to live in the floors. Party-seekers started to use the forest. It became a real park so to speak. This dystopia was not so bad. It became a ruin in the best German tradition. As in Heines poems or in Goethes memoires, a new ruin was born! We could already imagine a structure overgrown with ivy...the secret discussion on its future, found its current apocalypse in September 2005. Finally it is for sale...on eBay.
