Overview
- The administration published an itemized total of €157,774.03 covering six sofas (~€3,594 each), 40 armchairs (€2,212 each), eight armchairs (€2,111 each), and 25 side tables (~€30,000).
- The new seating equips the Wandelhalle, foyer and corridors used by lawmakers, visitors and journalists, with beige and black pieces arranged to distinguish areas.
- Procurement documents name Walter Knoll as the supplier and specify the Muud line.
- Parliamentary officials say many of the old pieces were irreparably damaged and not compliant with current fire-safety standards.
- The Berlin Taxpayers’ Association, led by Alexander Kraus, criticized the outlay as a luxury purchase given high public debt, while the administration defends the decision.
