off-topic, but this bug in the wikipedia app always catches me off-guard

explanation
it uses the banner image from the article I viewed previously instead of the correct one... (cremation, this time)

ive been there and you can't see shit through the glass I don't know how they'd get in there to clean it
Can confirm. Couldn't see anything either. You'd think German engineering excellence would find a way to clean a window.
Sounds like a true reflection of German engineering excellence in advertising vs reality.

The linked article says they replace the glass every 3 months and there's an access panel from a parking garage for cleaning
The costs for the care and maintenance of the memorial (for example, the special glass pane must be replaced every three months) are covered by Wall AG.
Huh?
[(badly) Auto-translated from citation:] But all the people who run across the square every day leave their mark on the disc. Especially in winter, the glass suffers from spreading agent. There is hardly anything left of the monument underneath the earth.
That doesn't really explain why it should need to be replaced so often. Unless they want it in perfect condition...
I wonder when the world will see these in the USA.
