Major fire at the Berliner Philharmonie

Bild Zeitung: Die Berliner Philharmie brennt

i really hope it's not very serious but the pics sure don't look good.. fire apparently started around 2pm...

Crap!

That´s my favorite building in Berlin...

Yikes, I hope no one is injured in the fire.

I was at the Philharmonie in December to see an Al Jarreau concert. It is was a very beautiful concert venture.

No one injured according to DW.Firefighters Called in to Combat Blaze at the Berlin Philharmonic

Started during a lunchtime concert, but the audience was evacuated.

I call that area of the city the architecture garden.

Last I heard it was the welders.

I was up at the top of the Daimler-Chrysler building and the damage looked rather messy looking at the roof!

Anyone know if any instruments (of musicians or in the Musical Instrument Museum) were damaged?

Although not a stand alone Architectural gem by any means, I do like it in ensemble (no pun intended) in the landscape of post modern architecture found in the Kulturforum/Potsi area. Wouldnt want it gone, damaged or destroyed.
