Renovation work on the Rhineland opera house started in 2012 with a budget of 253 million Euros.

It was supposed to take three years.

It’s currently running eight years late and the most recent cost estimate is 682 million euros.

Reopening was scheduled for March 2024.

Guess what? It has been postponed again.

Whatever happened to German efficiency?
