Deutsche Bank Building

A 41-story office building that stood at 130 Liberty Street in New York City. Formerly known as Bankers Trust Plaza. The building started construction in 1971 and was completed in 1973. It was purchased by Deutsche Bank after it acquired Bankers Trust in 1998. The building housed a daycare, a Zum Zum restaurant, and two retail shops in its ground floor lobby. The building had a small plaza located just in front of it, which had a pedestrian bridge leading to the World Trade Center complex. During the September 11 attacks, the building was severely damaged by the South Tower’s collapse, leaving a 24-story gash in the buildings facade. As a result of contamination from the collapses, Deutsche Bank decided that the building would be demolished. Deconstruction of the building began in March 2007, but was halted on May 17, 2007 after a 22-foot section of pipe fell 35 stories and landed on the roof of the FDNY “Ten House”, where Engine 10 and Ladder 10 of the New York City Fire Department is located. Two firefighters were injured by falling debris, but were not struck by the pipe itself. After a fire in 2007, dismantling of the building resumed in October 2009 and was completed January 2011. Today part of the site now houses the new St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church, which replaces the original building destroyed in 9/11. The other portion of the site will be occupied by the new 5 World Trade Center, replacing the building also damaged in 9/11.

a deutsche schwein

(even if the phrase is German, it is not meant in any to offend Germany, the German language or culture, or pigs being raised on German farms):

1) immoral or amoral people in general

2) (if you are German): used to insult other Germans who IYHO who are not, or don't seem to be, German patriots.

The Canadian province of Ontario knew what it was doing when it banned smoking in cars where minors are present, and labeled people engaging in such behavior as debauched a deutsche schwein.
