The Pole of Customs at the Ostkreuz in Berlin

Dear friends, 

the planning started already a couple of years ago and now it is finally so far:  The Pole of Customs at the Ostkreuz in Berlin stands and defies wind and weather. It is my fifth work in outdoor space and my first one in Berlin. 

 

I would like to have a a drink with you to celebrate the project.

When: Tuesday, 8/31/2021 from 6pm (till around 8pm)

 

Where: If you walk out of Ostkreuz station, then go 20m left on Neue Bahnhofstrasse, so to the corner of Neue Bahnhofstrasse and Sonntagstrasse, opposite the small park.

The photo with the people in the foreground was taken from the spot....
