Renovations

[edit]

@Rufus the Unqualified: The article says the method is from the 70s, not that the work done with that method happened in the 70s. I have seen a source (and the German page) state the work happened in 1985. Elrondil (talk) 02:27, 27 January 2025 (UTC)Reply

Also, total costs estimated at €1.25 million, with some federal funding (see https://adis-ahmetovic.de/meldungen/foerderung-des-bundes-sichert-eines-der-hannoverschen-wahrzeichen). Elrondil (talk) 02:43, 27 January 2025 (UTC)Reply
Regarding the botched conservation, that's great just include the citation for the 1985 work. I'm not 100% sure if the article you just sent is a renovation because of the 1985 renovation, from what I can see it's just saying these are renovations in general (not that they couldn't be from the previous conservation, too, I'm just not sure.)

Found it … https://e-government.hannover-stadt.de/lhhsimwebdd.nsf/929094602150CEB6C12589C9001B3A63/$FILE/1329-2023_Anlage1.pdf ... first paragraph, second page. Elrondil (talk) 02:54, 27 January 2025 (UTC)Reply
Also here … https://www.neuepresse.de/lokales/hannover/hannover-millionenschaden-waterloosaeule-broeckelt-GLD5Z5ZG7H2RBJDHNE65KQJQTI.html … "Fassadenabdichtung und Imprägnierung aus dem Jahr 1985 waren offenbar unzureichend" … supports the statement that the renovation was in '85 … but the article is from 2019 and "unzureichend" seems to have turned out to be an understatement.

Very cool. I like all the diagrams. I think that this number, together with your other citation above and the one that was originally in there show that a) the 1970s technique was applied in the 1980s and caused damage b) that damage will cost about 1.25 million euros to repair, and c) the city and this federal fund from the last source will pay that. I assume you're going to make the edits? Rufus the Unqualified (talk) 03:05, 27 January 2025 (UTC)Reply
You're on a roll, I won't get in the way 😀.
Reading HAZ (https://www.haz.de/lokales/hannover/waterloosaeule-muss-dringend-saniert-werden-U55U3WA7IC6OAPC477WKR35BGU.html?outputType=valid_amp) I gather renovations are now urgent because it's turning into a hazard, but obviously cultural heritage also ought to be maintained.
