Verkehrskanzel, Traffic control tower in Kurfürstendamm, Germany
The Verkehrskanzel rises 4.5 meters above ground level, featuring a glass box structure positioned at the intersection of Kurfürstendamm and Joachimstaler Straße.
Built in 1955 by architects Werner Klenke and Werner Düttmann under Bruno Grimmek's supervision, this traffic control station operated until automation replaced manual control in 1962.
The structure earned protected status in 1989 for its architectural design, representing post-war urban development with its glass and metal construction methods.
Located near the entrance of Kurfürstendamm U-Bahn station, the building includes a sales kiosk and public facilities at street level.
The structure remains Berlin's last surviving traffic control tower and has transformed into an exhibition space, hosting art installations since 1984.
