Occasional Observations

Not sure what?s planned, but the memorial to the Oktoberfest bombing from 1980 is being removed / re-sited. It was a pretty unobtrusive, low-key memorial situated close to the main entrance to the Oktoberfest, but workmen have been busy since week with their jackhammers, removing it.

I couldn?t immediately find any news references to what?s planned ? maybe someone can enlighten me.

The memorial was put up after the 1980 bombing which killed 13 people, including the bomber. Conspiracy theories have of course kept the topic alive.

Normally there?s a remembrance ceremony every year to mark the occasion. I can?t imagine the memorial would just be ripped out. But I am curious as to what?s happening.
