To avoid the catastrophy of the Cologne Historical Archive which
fell into the underground building site for a underground line...

I think the British Library is a further back from the road, though.

It is also a much more recent building and IIRC built to be somewhat
more "disaster-proof".

This building in Cologne had no problems until the underground line
was built right next to it. The sucked the ground away from underneath
the building with the ground water. The transit company had accepted
the offer from a construction company for a cheaper method and thus
not built a HDI sole at the bottom of the pit.

But this is off-topic in this thread...


Cheers,
L.W.
