BERLIN — For almost 20 years, Werner Kohl has followed the saga of the Humboldt Forum. Like many Germans, he has been watching and listening since 2002, when the government approved a plan for the huge new cultural attraction in Berlin. So on Tuesday evening, when he finally stood in the building’s darkened exhibition spaces, he was thrilled, he said. “I’ve been looking forward to this day from the beginning,” Kohl said. “I’m here to see if it delivers on what it proposed.”
