Nice article. Here are a few issues:

"It was mainly housed in the now-demolished section of the building.[8]" - it is?

Yes. Thine Antique Pen (talk) 12:04, 6 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I mean, "It" is what?--Kürbis (✔) 18:01, 6 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I see, Done. Thine Antique Pen (talk) 18:07, 6 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Why is SPD and Cologne not linked?

SPD is linked in the second paragraph in the History section. Done Cologne. Thine Antique Pen (talk) 12:04, 6 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

"The report which was presented at the end of December recommended reuse of the already modified internal space housing the library, and creation of additional usable space up to a total of approximately 1600 m² by lowering the floor to street level and modifying stairway areas without changing the external appearance of the building, which is characteristic of government buildings of the 1920s, particularly in its blocky ground floor." - this sentence is very large--
