Summary
The article discusses Berlin's perspective on Hamburg's upcoming referendum about hosting the Olympics (2036 or 2040). After Munich and NRW already voted, Hamburg is the next city to decide. The key thesis is that regardless of Hamburg's outcome, Berlin will not benefit from the result. The piece analyzes the political and public dynamics around Olympic bids in Germany, with Berlin watching from the sidelines as other cities take the lead in the bidding process.
Key quotes
· 3 pulledI m Oktober ging der Blick nach Süden, als München über eine Olympiabewerbung abstimmte, im April nach Westen, als dieses Votum in nordrhein-westfälischen Städten anstand.

Egal wie es ausgeht: Berlin wird nicht vom Ergebnis profitieren.
