"Hole of fear"

Construction project causes Hollabrunn’s center to collapse

In the middle of the district capital, a large construction project is proving to be a dangerous "hole" in the city center: located right next to the pedestrian zone, there are now frightening cracks in the walls of houses next to the planned "Living City". Two residents will now even move out. What will happen to - and around - the "hole of fear"?

The owner of the pizzeria restaurant stands desperately in front of his closed restaurant, surrounded by friends and onlookers. "How is this supposed to continue? My restaurant has just been banned from entering," he tells the "Krone" editor in despair. Ominous cracks can be seen on the walls in the background.
