Special insights into the last pneumatic tube machine room in Berlin
Behind an inconspicuous gray door is the pneumatic tube cellar of the former post office W 66, just as it was left in 1973. Every third Tuesday of the month at 5 p.m. this secret room with the machines and equipment can be discovered.
The pneumatic tube cellar is the only remaining machine station of the Berlin city pneumatic tube system and is therefore a unique industrial monument of the 20th century. As the fastest means of transporting information, the pneumatic tube played a central role in inner-city message traffic in Berlin and other major cities for 100 years.
The pneumatic tube system inspired early visions of the future of human mobility and continues to serve as an inspiration for innovative logistics ideas today.
