Behind an inconspicuous gray door lies the pneumatic tube cellar of the former W 66 post office, exactly as it was left in 1973. On a guided tour, you can discover the secret room with its machines and equipment.

The pneumatic tube cellar is the only remaining machine station of the Berlin city pneumatic tube system and thus 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 communication in Berlin and other major cities for 100 years. Early on, the pneumatic tube system inspired visions of the future of human mobility and still serves as inspiration for innovative logistics ideas today.
