small errors.


Neue Begründung: - The current building complex with its chapel was built in the historic 1930s, after the seizure of power by the National Socialists, making this chapel a witness to those remarkable events.
- After the end of the war, nobody took interest in these ceiling ornaments until the 1980s. Only then did people started start talking about these ceiling decorations, but nothing was ever done about it.
- The renovation is being funded by foundations and banks to the tune of € 75,000 - an amount which would be is much more needed elsewhere (for example, the renovation of CH1, GYON, IM1, IMSE, MKG, ON1 stations).
- The chapel is a cultural asset, a retreat, and above all, a place of reflection for patients and visitors of this Christian institution.
- We can imagine that the older generations would not be able to identify with the renovated chapel because the new design does not at all resemble any sacred building.
