ATLANTROPA
(CD 31) is the story about a macro project around the Mediterranean Sea.
It was developed by the Munich architect Hermann Sörgel in 1928. The
idea was to close every waterway in or out of this ocean, to lower the
water level about 300 metres, to gain new land around the coasts and to
unit a big Europe in a peaceful way with Africa. |

It was a project
of architects dream, to built a dam about 50 kilometres near Gibraltar
and others in the Maramar Sea, to built new Cities like Genua II, New Port
Said and so on...
This ecological
nightmare with ideological thinking of an upper Old World ("The 3 Big A:
America, Atlantropa, Asia") was dreamt in 1950, when Sörgel dies...
But it was
the start to close the river Ijssel in the Netherlands... |

It was in
the early twenties of our century when they believed that technology could
change everything in daily life.
A handful
had a vision, finally wishful thinking. H. Sörgel planned and built
several houses and streets in Munich, when he developed an idea, that allowed
him to construct complete cities and not several changes in old towns.
With the closing
of the Mediterranean Sea he could improve his passion of constructing big
dams. His colleagues were mostly amused about the project but a few helped
him...
For more than
30 years Sörgel tried to get sponsoring and reputations for his project,
the received amounts were ridiculous... |

Today we are
able to calculate what happened to this section, when the water level has
been lowered:
The pressure
of water on earth clods would missed, so a lot of earthquakes would happen
for what this area is known for...
The climate
depends on evaporation of water. The weather would rapidly change into
dryness...
The concentration
of salt would increase in the rest of water. How could anyone used it for
agriculture...
I took
the idea to create a hymn for all living beings...
