Honestly, I could not believe  it's for real. I was trying to find somewhere in the corner something like "Boo, got ya", but it does look like a real Wiki page.

It is real.
It has shown up in various German news.

If enacted it will enable the owner of copyright in a small building to block commercial publication of a scene consisting mostly of other buildings.  And commercial photographers will have to track down the copyright status of all the buildings in the viewfinder.  Commercial photography of modern cities (most of the buildings will be in the protected period) will become unviable.

What is the justification for the EU to impose such restrictions on freedom of expression on all member states?
