Mark Of Hitler's Vanity Aiding
West Berlin Skyscraper Plans
BERLIN (AP)
An enormous
mushroom of concrete built by the
vanity of Adolf Hitler is helping
turn West Berlin Into a city of
small sKyscrapers.
Most Berliners think the structure is Just another air raid shelter
left over from World War II. Several of these still dot the city.
In fact, it's an oddly shaped
engineering laboratory.
The Nazis built it to test the
city's sandy soil. They wanted to
see if the soil would bear the huge
triumphal arch they meant to put
up after they won the war. For six
years after the German defeat the
mushroom lay idle.
Then someone got the idea of
.using it to test how much new
weight could be borne by the founbuilddations of
ings.
Successful experiments on this
led to others. Now Lothar Naujoks,
the young engineer in charge, always has a new project to take up
when he has completed an old one.
His tests have helped establish
that Berlin's soil can support a
lot more weight than anyone
