During Freiburg's reconstruction, he pushed - like at the
former tourist office - his idea of what he wrongly regarded as open
medieval arcades. This he partly realized on Kaiser-Joseph-Straße
(formerly Adolf-Hitler-Straße). Its buildings were destroyed during Operation Tigerfish, the November 27, 1944 air raid.
By incorporating the "arcades" into the facades of the houses, Schlippe gained space for the growing car traffic. Today, Freiburg's central axis is a pedestrian zone.

Kammerer depicted aryan people as fishermen, recreationists, and horsemen in the style of the Nazi ideology on a surface of eight by two and a half meters. Like the air-raid shelter, the art advisory board decided to integrate the historical painting as contemporary testimony in an authentic place, which means a rescheduling leading to a cost increase for the documentation center.
Also, the stone findings of the Old Synagogue - Red Baron reported - will be visible in the documentation center.
