Spreebogen Jan 1, 1995

As Bonn readies for the government’s move to Berlin, Minister Bartels and his team privately stall plans due to personal ties to Bonn. Mayor Struvitz arrives with a deed claiming their small town owns key Berlin land, proposing a swap: the prime Spreebogen plot for federal support to save local jobs. His gambit forces Bonn officials to confront both political process and pride.
