The amount has been carefully calculated and guaranties the handmade artistic reconstruction in the same high quality which the Palace originally had.<\/p>\n<p>Thus, through the tax deductible gifts of German citizens to their country, the Palace will become reality. Will we ever be able to do this?[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=&#8221;549884&#8243; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; border_color=&#8221;grey&#8221; img_link_large=&#8221;yes&#8221; img_link_target=&#8221;_self&#8221; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h2>Absolutely, it is possible!<\/h2>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/4&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;549883&#8243; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; border_color=&#8221;grey&#8221; img_link_large=&#8221;yes&#8221; img_link_target=&#8221;_self&#8221; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221;][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;3\/4&#8243;][vc_column_text]200,000 citizens (out of 81,400,000 Germans) giving 400 Euros over 10 years or 40 Euros annually (monthly about the cost of a pack of cigarettes) can make it happen!

And, like a modern building, the core will be financed via the capital market with the same chances and risks that any private financing encounters. After all, not even a modern structure can be built without cost. To be sure, we believe that the chances of marketing the Palace successfully are better than those for any industrially configured and constructed building in today\u2019s architectural style. In this way, for the entities for which the Palace is to be built (which includes the state), there can be no more arguments that they cannot financially, afford the Palace because it would be too expensive. It will not be any more costly than a modern building of equal size!<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"red-text\">However, there is still another reason behind seeking donations. By doing so, the Palace will become a house of democracy through the personal dedication of hundreds of thousands of citizens. It will in effect become the PEOPLE\u2019S PALACE!<\/span><\/p>\n<p>As a donor you will receive an official confirmation which can be used to reduce your taxes.
