In 2004, Hydro Magnesium doubled capacity at its facility in Bottrop, Germany.

These include St Michael Frankfurt 1953-54; St Maria Konigin, Saarbrucken, 1956-59; St Theresia, Linz, 1958-62; St Bonifatius, Witzlar, 1960-64; and, perhaps as the perigee of a vast elliptic, Heilig-Kreuz, Bottrop, 1952-57.

In this context, Alice Creischer, Andreas Sieckmann, Josef Strau, and Amelie Wulffen's recent film, Die Krumme Pranke (The crooked paw), based on Claymation figures that portray the crimino-capitalistic entanglements of Berlin construction policy, offered a convincing counterpart to the 120 Days of Bottrop, the muscularly slapstick commentary from Shock Theater director and talk-show host Christoph Schlingensief.
