Leaky Roof at NRW Parliament Leads to Unusual Water Management

Persistent rain exposes the aging roof of the Düsseldorf parliament building, prompting temporary fixes with buckets and plants.

The NRW parliament building in Düsseldorf is experiencing significant leaks due to an aging roof, exacerbated by recent heavy rains.
Temporary solutions, including the use of buckets and potted plants, have been employed to manage water intrusion in various areas of the building.
A spokesperson confirmed that the roof, over 36 years old, is in need of extensive renovation, though no timeline for repairs has been established.
Innovative interim measures include using felt, tarps, and waste bins to prevent water damage in areas frequented by political factions.
The issue has been recurrent, with similar measures previously taken during heavy rains before the summer recess.
