Holocaust memorial used as urinal

Some visitors to Germany’s main Holocaust memorial reportedly have 
been using it as a urinal.

According to a report in Monday’s Spiegel Online, the problem began 
soon after the memorial opened in May 2005.

Designed by New York architect Peter Eisenman, the large memorial 
consists of 2,711 cement slabs of varying heights, arranged along a 
grid, and covers an area the size of three soccer fields.

The administration of the memorial and its underground information 
center kept the problem quiet at first, and portable toilets solved 
the problem to some extent.

But other behavior, such as people picnicking or sunbathing on the 
slabs, was much discussed in German media.

Eisenman had said at the time that he expected people to react to the 
memorial in their own way, and did not want to put restrictions on 
them.

Memorial director Uwe Neumarker told the Berliner Zeitung that he has 
proposed installing a permanent public restroom alongside the site.
