Found this old article from 2012, towards the end:
"Mr Kujath campaigned successfully against Berlin city government plans to axe gas street lamps back in the 1980s."
This must have been in West Berlin, because "successfully campaigning" wasn't really possible in 1980's East Berlin (and at least the other campaigner mentioned in the article - Ilja Richter - was a West German TV celebrity).
Maybe it's some weird "West-Berlin nostalgia" going on there.

That this whole thing has a 40 year history without being resolved is also sooo "typical Berlin" ;)
