Velodrom, Multi-purpose hall and velodrome in Prenzlauer Berg, Germany.
The Velodrom features a 250-meter cycling track enclosed within a structure topped by Europe's largest steel roof, measuring 142 meters in diameter.
French architect Dominique Perrault designed this facility as part of Berlin's unsuccessful bid for the 2000 Summer Olympics, with construction completed in 1997.
The annual Six-Day Race combines professional cycling competitions with music performances, drawing thousands of spectators to this Berlin sports tradition.
The facility accommodates 12,000 visitors and connects directly to Landsberger Allee station through the S-Bahn circle line, offering easy access from central Berlin.
The building sits partially underground, with its wooden-paneled roof integrated into an elevated plateau, concealing its substantial interior dimensions from outside view.
