Thorsten Uellenberg, caretaker at Sea Life Königswinter, uses a spatula to remove the aquarium's outdoor advertising on Tuesday. In small sticky strips, what used to make it clear what was inside the round building on Rheinallee falls off. The rest of the advertising on the façade has also been removed.

Thus, only a few days after the aquarium's closure on 31 December, there will soon be nothing left on the outside to remind us of the underwater world. It was the wish of the city administration that the advertising be removed quickly. Sea Life in Königswinter opened in December 2005.

According to the operator, Merlin Entertainments, it was closed for economic reasons: Loss of revenue due to the corona pandemic, cost increases due to inflation, rising wages and rising energy costs, as well as the fact that a necessary modernisation of the 17-year-old building. would have required considerable financial investment.
