Does anyone know what material is it? It must be super hard wearing glass to keep up with the Munchen climate...

as well as provide a structural separation between the second Summer Olympic Games in Germany and those of National Socialist times??????

and why is that ? " The transparency of the roof also made it possible for the Summer Olympics and the matches of the 1974 FIFA World Cup (which Germany won) to be televised in color,

OK this answers my question

After all, the organizers of the Olympic Games wanted to broadcast the event on color television, which had just been launched at the time and required as much light as possible. A wooden or concrete construction was therefore out of the question.

Okay guys, I‘m the first to appreciate a little nostalgia and I've seen many a great game at the Olympiastadion... But it’s literally a hole

It sucked to get there in traffic, it sucked to park, it sucked to leave again, and during you saw little, had barely any atmosphere and had a hard time taking a leak...

I admit, AA has some of the same problems (namely taking a leak and leaving), but it’s a far smaller issue...

What do you think we have here? Rick storms and -52 degrees all the time?

Also, Nazi-architecture was characteristically concrete and A LOT of it... Big... Megalomaniac actually... Completely over the top...

Here, if you want a taste, this is what he had planned for Berlin...

You sold it to ramsej84 with that eagle right at the end

The previous city gate (Valletta) was neo fascist style.
Who from the Maltese members knew that?

He won my heart with that penalty save and all matches he played in his first Bayern season, 2012/2013.

Berlin (AFP) – Bayern Munich players have accepted a salary cut which will last until the “end of the season” to help the Bundesliga champions through the coronavirus crisis, club president Herbert Hainer said on Saturday.

In April, the Bayern squad took a 20-percent reduction in salary, but Hainer did not specify how large the cut was this time.

“It is very satisfying to see that our team understands the situation and will again give up part of their salary until the end of the season,” Hainer told German daily Bild.

Bayern sit seven points clear of second-placed Borussia Dortmund at the top of the Bundesliga with six games remaining as they look set to win a record-extending eighth straight title.

The German top-flight season is scheduled to end on June 27, although Bayern could potentially also be in the German Cup final on July 4.

Hansi Flick’s side are also still in the Champions League, after a 3-0 victory at Chelsea in their last 16 first leg before the coronavirus lockdown, but UEFA are yet to announce how it plans to end that competition.
