    As part of a campaign calling on the government to reduce red tape, Alsleben has opened what he calls “the most German of German museums,” the Bureaucracy Museum.

    Genius move. I think it’s a worth move either way. Bureaucracy and the shape and history of it is worth preserving [information on].

    Among the objects on display is a 10-foot stack of files representing the paperwork needed to install one wind turbine. Another is a photograph of a mailbox with the label: “Please deposit online forms here.”


    Looks like it’s a 3 month limited activity, unfortunately.

    Here’s a video tour/intro of the Bureaucracy Museum.

      Worst part of that 10 ft stack is that it’s actually just a single paragraph that makes reference to like 50 obscure german legal concepts that are named with contractions of like 180 words apiece.
