Berlin To Replace Its Advertising Columns As Traditionalists Lament Lost Cultural Heritage

BERLIN, GERMANY - APRIL 04: A Litfass advertising column stands near Alexanderplatz on April 04, 2019 in Berlin, Germany. Around 3,000 cylindrical concrete columns known as Litfasssaeule, or Litfass columns, named after Berlin printer Ernst Litfass, who invented them in 1885, are found around the German capital. Used since their creation as a space to display advertising, news from wars, local announcements and love messages, as well as serve as meeting points, the columns are beloved by many locals, including those behind a grassroots campaign trying to save them as the structures come under threat due to their gradual replacement by modern digital advertising signage.
