A great friend of the new "Wax Museum" to the "Madame Tussauds Group ( http://www.merlinentertainments.biz/ ) in Berlin, I am not, but it reduces the chances of an originally planned revival of the traditional old Berlin Panopticon, which was perhaps less spectacular, large, but gave the more atmosphere the wax figure cabinet of former times.
has any case to get the new establishment like opening the best possible advertising than the controversial Hitler figure was pulled down by a visitor to the head.
The show positions of (mass) murderers and despots belong (ed) to a wax museum as abnormalities, relics, instruments of torture and dissuasive medical plaster casts and such exhibits produced the much-described horrible effect of the cabinets.
other hand, are reservations about the establishment of the Hitler figure in the former imperial capital understandable. I can not think here is a passage from Frederick Hollander Memoirs Reviews "(...) For this was the Chamber of Horrors opened at any time. Hair man with the cleaver, Giftmariechen with the silver look that crooked Otto with Würgehand. How beautiful! And rode down, especially the peephole in the hell in which naked ladies razor. Everything in motion, for a dime. Next door were political: Ivan the Terrible, Luccheni, the murderer of the beautiful Empress Elisabeth. Whether they will issue the Lord out of the Munich Bürgerbräu too? How do I know my German, they will ship him one day there. And one day they will get it out again. " (up from head to toe. Revue of my life. Berlin 2001 (1965), p. 132)
