The pneumatic tube basement is the last remaining machine station of Berlin’s city pneumatic tube system and thus a unique industrial monument of the 20th century.
As the fastest means of transporting information, the pneumatic tube system played a central role in inner-city communications in Berlin and other major cities for 100 years.
The pneumatic tube system inspired visions of the future regarding human mobility from an early stage and continues to serve as inspiration for innovative logistics ideas to this day.
