Haseloff Marks 35 Years of German Unity Amid Art Vandalism

Saxony-Anhalt's Minister President Reiner Haseloff has underscored the significance of German unity, marking 35 years since the country's reunification. This comes amidst recent acts of vandalism targeting art in the region. Haseloff, speaking at a ceremony in Magdeburg, praised the spirit of unity that has prevailed since 1990. He stressed the importance of preserving this unity, especially in the face of challenges. Separately, an incident of vandalism at the DB Museum in Halle remains unsolved. No artist or institution has been identified as responsible. Meanwhile, the 'Flügelmann' sculpture in Heinrich-Heine-Park, which was damaged by unknown vandals, has been repaired. While Haseloff focuses on celebrating and maintaining German unity, authorities continue to investigate the recent acts of vandalism against art in Saxony-Anhalt. The 'Flügelmann' sculpture, though repaired, serves as a reminder of the importance of protecting and preserving cultural heritage.
