Thirty-four years ago today, on June 21, 1991 (May 10, 1991), Germany decided to move the capital to Berlin. On June 21, 1991, the German House of Representatives voted 338 to 320 to reach a historic decision: the capital was moved from Bonn to Berlin. After the decision to move the capital, some German moving companies thought they would make a fortune. In fact, their calculations were wrong. The capital was to be moved, but most of the administrative units and personnel remained in Bonn. Only 7,000 of the 20,000 administrative staff went to Berlin. In three years, 24 trucks were enough. The moving company made no money at all. In fact, the administrative units that really have to move to Berlin can be counted, including the Parliament, the Presidency, the Chancellery, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of the Interior, the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Justice, the Ministry of Economy, the Ministry of Transport, the Ministry of Construction, and the Ministry of Family and Women. There are still 20 or 30 administrative units left in Bonn, including the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications, the Ministry of Environmental Protection, the Ministry of Health, the Ministry of Economic Cooperation, and the Ministry of Defense. No wonder some people say that Germany is not moving the capital, but the capital is divided into two. Many Germans agree that the future of Germany lies in Berlin, but most people are sincerely reluctant to move the capital. According to public opinion polls, starting from the year of reunification, annual surveys show that more than 60% of Germans are not in favor of moving the capital. The main concern is the cost of moving. Although the moving fee in the German government budget is 20 billion marks, everyone knows that by then 60 billion marks may not be enough. And this does not include the surrounding construction costs of moving the capital, such as building underground passages in Berlin, subway trains, and improving transportation between administrative units. At least another 40 billion marks will have to be spent. Among them, the most criticized is not just the moving fee, but the moving subsidy for administrative staff. For example, an executive who has to move to Berlin can receive (i) $5,000 in agency fees to find a new home; (ii) $20,000 in airfare from Bonn to Berlin for three years; (iii) $12,000 for relocation; (iv) $6,000 for relocation; (v) $1,000 for personal transportation to move; (vi) $40,000 for loss of rent from the original Bonn home; (vii) $5,000 for transitional accommodation in the new Berlin home; (viii) $2,000 for child care; and (ix) $3,000 for kitchen allowance.
