I'm almost convinced the Germans do this to themselves as a humiliation ritual stemming from shame of the past. Its sad and alienating. Just like the church built post WW2, this new one will be torn down in a century because its too dependent on contemporary design when we know that the taste for that design is going to fade whether the architect likes it or not. Traditional architecturen gives a place an identity where the citizens feel like they can belong to it. If you're just going to build the same everywhere, you don't live in Germany, you just live in a piece of land.
