The Bierpinsel (‘Beer brush’), officially the Tower Restaurant Steglitz, is a ‘sci-fi Brutalist’ building in the Steglitz neighbourhood of south Berlin.

The building was built between 1972 and 1976 by the architect couple Ursula and Ralph Schuler. It has a height of 46 m and was designed to resemble the silhouette of a tree, but has been compared to an observation tower. In 2010, local graffiti artists adorned the building with striking Pop Art-style paintwork.

Originally, the structure comprised three storeys that contained restaurants and a night club. However, it was sold and has remained closed since 2006, apparently due to it requiring expensive construction work to fix recurring issues with water leaks.

However, it seems that any plans are on hold until an insurance dispute over damage caused by burst water pipes can be resolved, offering some small measure of hope to this iconic relic of Berlin’s Brutalist past.
