Islamic pendentives

[edit]

I took out the reference to Islamic pendentives, since the term is misleading. I could not find any sources that indicate that they were deisgned by Poelzig to be specifically Islamic. The Nazi's did not simply 'refurbish' it but changed its inner appearance altogether, so I put that in. I also added some info on the buildings' history. I was the one of the last people to have had access to it before it was torn down. Crawling along the old catwalks to get to the stalactites, what a trip. But the building was in bad shape and sinking. It was we might say today gaudily illuminated on the interior with colored lightbulbsBrosi 03:29, 26 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
