That said, all the (lovely) staff are reportedly out of a job at the end of the year & the renovation work won't begin til late January. But the promises at this point indicate that we're not going the way of Eigentumswohnungen & a Vapiano...

The new Claerchens owner, Berlin-born photographer Yoram Roth, says it will remain a dance hall. A spokewoman to @berlinerzeitung: "The original flair will of course remain, as well as the patina of history in the hall of mirrors. It would be terrible if that were renovated away.

"You can assume that I am well aware of the responsibilities of my office and act accordingly when it comes to my health... Secondly, as a human being, I have a great personal interest in being healthy and looking after my health." - Merkel today

Each day I write with this picture on the wall behind me. I took it at #ClaerchensBallhaus and I hope like heck that this amazing place doesn't fall victim to gentrification, as is being threatened. twitter.com/doberah/status… pic.twitter.com/ZRAuCWq3Q8

In the meantime I really like @SonyKapoor's initiative to get the ball rolling -- everyone post their favorite Claerchens pic with #ClaerchensBallhaus

I'd say watch this space. I'll see what's being planned and where protests can be registered (stadtentwicklung.berlin.de/bauen/bauaufsi… for a start?) -- in the meantime everyone should set up a news alert for Clärchens Ballhaus, these things have a way of going shockingly quickly.

I wrote this love letter to Claerchens Ballhaus, the one must-see destination for all my Berlin visitors, when it turned 100. It survived the 20th century -- I believe besotted Berliners will save it from gentrification #nopasaran sg.news.yahoo.com/ghosts-german-…

'It’s a pretty short leap from ‘We don’t want homeless people living here’ to ‘We don’t want refugees’ or ‘We don’t want immigrants.’ Amazing reporting by @RottenInDenmark on the toxic progressives blocking affordable housing. huffpost.com/entry/as-citie…

Please don't let that stop you, Constanze. You, if I may say so, would rock those.

"The holdings of German museums are often in catastrophic condition: standing in ankle-deep water, eaten away..." - sueddeutsche.de/kultur/ethnolo… Great piece in @SZ clearly aimed at people who say artifacts shouldn't go back to Africa as they won't be well looked after
