Verkehrskanzel is the last surviving traffic pulpit in Berlin. Located at Joachimsthalerplatz, this box-like building made of glass was built over 4.5 meters in height. It stands over a pavilion where there’s a sales kiosk, a public toilet and one of the entries to Kurfürstendamm U-Bahn. The construction started all the way back in 1955 but the building was, pretty much, obsolete in less than ten years. All this happened due to automation.
