City swifts into action following Mario Barth's hearty laughter
In a recent episode of "Mario Barth uncovers" on RTL, the comedian highlighted a peculiarity on Braunschweig's Ringgleis. The city's decision to convert a former railway track into a pedestrian and cycling path was commended by Barth. however, he found an unexpected quirk—a wooden bench that offered an unanticipated view of an overgrown fence and nothingness. Guest Joachim Llambi described it as a "view into the green."
Barth's team presented the issue to the city of Braunschweig, leading to a prompt response. The city hall acknowledged that the overgrowth had obscured the original view axis, rendering the bench's orientation irrelevant. As a result, the bench has been rotated 180 degrees, now facing a garden center, a car wash, and an empty parking lot.
Barth expressed satisfaction with the city's quick action, proclaiming, "Thanks, Braunschweig! This show makes a difference!" This is not the first time Braunschweig has been the subject of Barth's scrutiny. Previously, he critiqued a public toilet in the cultural quarter.
Initially scheduled to perform his show "Men are nothing without women" at the Volkswagen Halle in early April, Barth was forced to cancel due to illness. The rescheduled date is now October 11th.
