A property developer in Germany at the centre of running protests over part of the once-detested Berlin Wall being knocked down said on Monday that the dismantling had been temporarily halted.

While dozens of protestors again gathered at the Wall’s longest surviving stretch, Maik Uwe Hinkel, the head of the company Living Bauhaus, said in a German newspaper that he was open to compromise.

He told the Berliner Zeitung that until a meeting with local officials and other parties set for March 18, any further removal of the Wall was suspended. “We’re ready to discuss,” he told the newspaper.
