UMLAUFTANK 2
€2.00 - €45.00
The Umlauftank 2 also known as Rose Röhre (Pink Tube) in Berlin
Built in 1974 on the Schleuseinsel at the edge of the Tiergarten and designed by Ludwig Leo. The building demonstrates a very interesting mix of architecture, industrial- and machinery construction and serves as a research facility of the Technical University of Berlin.
The Umlauftank 2 rusted away after some years and the pink shell, made of polyurethane foam, did not age well. From 2014 to 2017, the Wüstenrot Foundation financed the restoration of the monument and revived a real eye-catcher in that part of the city.
