Berlin’s bleakest district goes for Hollywood makeover

In future, as a object will arise solemnly above a easterly of Berlin, golden light scaling a hills and spilling onto a empty margin of rooftops of multi-family housing, not usually will it irradiate a petrify splendour.

Oh, no – from 2017 leading a life-size lettering “M-A-R-Z-A-H-N  H-I-L-L-S” shall accoutre a highlands of a Ahrensfelder Berge, tighten to a German capitol’s district of Marzahn-Hellersdorf.  

That is if we are prepared to turn one of a letters’ sponsors. The plan “Marzahn Hills” started out as a fun thought in a summer of 2015 when someone suggested it opposite a backdrop of a arriving International Gardening Fair 2017 (IGA) holding place in a barbarous outskirt area of a city.
