text: The demolition of the Ahornblatt was seen as part of an ongoing destruction of modern architecture from East Germany; Müther's Kolloquim in Magdeburg is threatened with demolition in 2011. Despite numerous protests against the demolition of the Ahornblatt, the new owner obtained a demolition permit for the Ahornblatt, with the consent of the Denkmalschutzbehörde (preservation authority), even in the absence of general agreement.
