    Oooh, I am so embarrassed now, I saw them on Potsdamer Platz for the first time and since then I thought it's an artistic installation. Hahaha, well, it's Berlin after all, you never know 😂

    This was one of my first questions when I arrived in Berlin. I thought maybe district heating. But I figured it out quick enough. As a Swiss, I can say that some of them need repainting... 😅😅😅

    • @kreativuntermdach7351
      @kreativuntermdach7351 3 года назад +4

      I think no one bothers repainting them, cause by night, someone will come along and repaint them to what they are looking right now. And as long as the coat of paint is protective enough, nothing will be done.

    Thanks!!! I was also wondering what are these pipes and why they are pink. And actually I think make them pink was a great idea! They bring a light to the city, making it more interesting and unusual, looking like artistic installation. And yes more happy. But some of them look like they are purple... I guess it's just a different shade of pink right?

      This has nothing to do with West or East Germany. The reason is simply the location of the city of Berlin on a huge swamp.
      As soon as you dig an excavation pit in Berlin, it fills up with groundwater. Of course, this has to be removed, which is done via these pink and blue pipes.
      Since a lot of construction is going on in Berlin, these pipes will be needed for a very long time.
