As part of a campaign calling on the government to reduce red tape, Alsleben has opened what he calls "the most German of German museums," the Bureaucracy Museum.

Genius move. I think it's a worth move either way. Bureaucracy and the shape and history of it is worth preserving [information on].

Among the objects on display is a 10-foot stack of files representing the paperwork needed to install one wind turbine. Another is a photograph of a mailbox with the label: "Please deposit online forms here."


Looks like it's a 3 month limited activity, unfortunately.

Here's a video tour/intro of the Bureaucracy Museum.

Worst part of that 10 ft stack is that it's actually just a single paragraph that makes reference to like 50 obscure german legal concepts that are named with contractions of like 180 words apiece.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.
