It comes off as if the demolition was a thing all germans wanted but do to its fame and daily presence in TV thanks to Volkskammer and many festivities the people of the GDR grew fond of it over the years. Then to replace it by this, to say the least, gigantomanic block of a prussian palace immitation isn't to everyones liking either. "Why replace an ugly palace with another ugly palace? Why is one past (the imperial) more important than the other (east german) past?" many asked. If Germany would have had a real unification and not an annexion of the east through the west this building would still stand and be in use. 134.101.60.131 ( talk) 08:17, 14 March 2020 (UTC)
Looking back over the article, it's very disappointing that there are no pictures of Palace in its heyday, in the 70s and 80s, especially when there are pictures out there, both in the public domain, in books, etc. The current pictures stem from the 'demolition' era, and make people forget what an imposing (and some may say, exquisite) building that it used to be.
It needs to be remembered that the Palace was a people's palace, an entertainment and social venue, where people would go to have a good time, to have a meal out, etc, not just a parliament building. This is part of the history of the building, and needs to be remembered.
Would anyone be able to help with this?? In the meantime, I'll put a link with some pics of the Palace during its lifetime on the link list ( RM21 01:18, 27 June 2006 (UTC))
I've read that the demolition of the "people's palace" is due to commence in Feb 2005 but the webcam shows it still standing. Has it had a late repreive? Anyone know the latest?
This article says definitively that the Palast is being demolished. I was in Berlin in May and the signage on the Palast site quite clearly says that the building is being dismantled (to get rid of the asbestos), not demolished, and that a "democratic decision" on the Palast's future is still to be made. Can someone clarify this? Is there a conflict between the City of Berlin and the Federal Government? Adam 05:16, 5 June 2006 (UTC)
The article should explicitly state the reasons or motivations for dismantling the building. After reading the article, I was just puzzled. What is really going on here? Why go to the trouble of removing the insulation only to destroy the building afterwards?
Is it because the building is ugly? Why do people say it's ugly? Is it because it's a symbol of communism? The article assumes I know what the motivation is, but I can only speculate. Canadiana 23:44, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
"Demolition started on 6 February 2006 and is scheduled to last about 15 months." So, why is the framework still standing 17 months later? All you have to do is look at the German entry:
"Despite strong resentment from a major population of Germans" - Please name source. It could be said from any group that it is a 'major population' - this has a whiff of POV, moreover. User:ilja.nieuwland 9:45, 21 May 2008 (GMT)

What on earth have any of these buildings got in common with this Communist edifice?
Why are they even in this article? If there is a need then surely that should be explained along with the link? It looks like to me a list put in, mostly by Americans, of municipal buildings!! Which begs the burning question....And? 109.151.216.31 ( talk) 11:02, 9 April 2012 (UTC)

Are there any contemporary sources (i.e. 1976–1990) for the supposed nicknames "Erichs Lampenladen", "Palazzo Prozzo", or "Ballast der Republik"? Only one of them is even cited, and its only citation is an article from 2018—and this article's own bibliography is nothing but broken links. Given the existing history of made-up derisive nicknames for former East German landmarks on Wikipedia—to say nothing of the pervasive anti-communist tone of any Eastern Bloc–related article on this website, which never seems to get flagged for NPOV—we should have a citation demonstrating that these nicknames were real rather than simply alleging it to be the case. - Literally Satan ( talk) 21:56, 18 April 2024 (UTC)
