Happy New Year to you all! We start the year 2022 with this Hamburg icon: Despite the Post-Pyramid was in a generally good condition and listed as part of the monument ensemble “City Nord”, it was demolished in 2018.

Let’s continue the fight for the preservation of our concrete monsters! … for the protection of significant architectural monuments, but also because in times of a global climate crisis we cannot justify demolishing functioning concrete structures instead of adapting them to current uses.

Gerhard Weber / Georg Küttinger: Central Post Administration Building Post-Pyramide, Hamburg, Germany, 1969–1977
