has been for sale for some time, as you have seen. The maintenance and ongoing development to keep our non-profit and idealistic platform for contemporary art running and safe from hackers etc. costs money that is no longer there. Because of small investments that are necessary now and the running costs, we will have to shut down with a heavy heart at the beginning of summer on June 21.

"The war to end all wars" (sometimes also "the war to end war") is a very famous term of World War I, created in August 1914 and originally used in an idealisitc way. Young men in the trenches believed in that phrase, and it gave apparently a sense to all the bloodshed.
"Der Krieg, der alle Kriege beendet" (manchmal auch "der Krieg, um Krieg zu beenden") ist ein sehr berühmtes Zitat aus der Zeit des Ersten Weltkriegs, entstanden im August 1914 und zur damaligen Zeit in einer idealistischen Weise gebraucht. Die jungen Männer in den Schützengräben Europas glaubten an diesen Spruch, und scheinbar gab er dem Blutvergießen einen Sinn.
