He also did not make it: Hartmut Mehdorn occurs as BER-boss back. A predictable choice, find our management expert Leopold Hüffer . Even Mehdorn
has so far never managed in his career to complete a major project of this caliber with success. Is the BER project, subtract the present balance sheet date, probably an accomplished and could be no longer auswetzbarer failure. Various circumstances suggest that a start-up at a reasonable additional cost is unrealistic.
At the level of the building permit process, it may, as in the past, come again to great difficulties. Courts and experts will have to determine how the construction management was to assess qualitatively the Berlin construction site in the various phases of its activities.
Leadership inappropriate occupied
However, so it is clear already is, that the positions of the chairman, the various board members and the Chairman of the Management Board of Flughafen Berlin Brandenburg GmbH were filled with mismatched personalities. This finding, however, requires only common sense.
At the position of the chairman was appointed by former Mayor of Berlin, Klaus Wowereit, a politician, the successful execution of the role of the Chief Controller of professional background experience was missing.
has Tries Mr. Wowereit least
The good will and good faith efforts of Mr. Wowereit, the project is available to help you succeed, I have no doubt. A project of this complexity and magnitude would have a seasoned construction manager as chief inspector – about the caliber of the site management of the Gotthard Base Tunnel, currently one of the largest and most important construction projects in the world -. Demanded everything
easy for such appeal decisions applies and not particularly difficult to fulfill rule of thumb that in the senior leadership belongs to someone used the at least once a major project of this caliber successfully done and has completed. Various airport bosses or civil engineers in Germany and Europe meet this requirement.
This compelling success criterion can, however, by politicians of whatever stripe are met only in exceptional cases. Who does not see this, take heavy financial losses condone and operates ultimately stealing from the taxpayers.
Blatant errors in post-award
It now takes revenge on the bitterest that the owners, the federal states of Berlin (37%), Brandenburg (37%) and the Federal Republic of Germany (26 %), no proper and knowledgeable personalities inserting as chief representative of the owner, but their top political representatives themselves could shoulder the task.
This decision has proved in retrospect to be blatant regulatory failure. The game was already lost when Klaus Wowereit and Matthias Platzeck as non-specialists rejected the leadership concept of the general contractor and would allow independent trades in combination with an uncapped funding.
Shared responsibility is no responsibility
Once the interests of owners on such a large construction site no longer has sole responsibility – through a equipped with appropriate powers Manager -. can be perceived, cost and schedule overrun is practically inevitable
Then, the different business interests of the virtually impossible to get involved in building a common denominator and the egos take over. The bodies are then Wretched – a role in which the bodies of the BER de facto for years: Shared Responsibilities is not responsible
So far, so good.. In retrospect, many things are so terribly easy

Politicians do not manage to draw the right conclusions
What now but downright tragic forms, almost is that the new managers are going exactly the same mistakes again committing the already committed their predecessors. Another politician to be Chairman. Again to a specialist stranger lead as Chairman of the Board, the scepter, there are already names such as called from the car industry
But everybody knows practitioners that the construction industry is an industry with its own customs and usages and practices of the industry strangers with great difficulty -. if any – are understood in time. Why is the policy not willing with all its consequences to be drawn from the damage sustained and serious loss of confidence of citizens in their skills to bear the lessons?
BER needs someone who can “airport”
This is the real tragedy and I wonder if there is still a balance of authority piety, so that such nonsense will be tolerated. It is up to the owners of the airport – the states of Brandenburg (37%), Berlin (37%) and the Federal Republic of Germany (26%), to draw lessons from the serious mistakes and there in the new attempt much better and for all time to get it right

The CEO of the Berlin Brandenburg Airport is to entrust an experienced airport manager or construction manager, who has been his ability in a project of similar difficulty level proven . And this president has to be controlled by a Board consisting of knowledgeable, seasoned industry experts who once themselves bore the responsibility for such large-scale projects: personalities that can “airport”
Politicians should not make the mistake. to want to run
Of course, should continue to be represented on the supervisory board authoritative politician. You can accompany those responsible within its own facilities and very good advice. You simply should not again make the mistake of having to perform or want to.
If we have the self-respect and have the courage to look facts in the face and trust that we are capable of learning, then there will be a good solution Berlin airport. Then the lessons from the airport disaster would get another sense. I certainly have not given up hope that this is possible.
