Germany: Dortmund U-Tower

Last Thursday I got a postcard from Germany.

It shows the Dortmund U-Tower. The Dortmund U-Tower was built between 1926 and 1927 by the Union Brewery for the fermentation and storage of their products. It was Dortmund's first high-rise building and survived the demolition of the brewery and all its surrounding buildings due to having landmark status. In the framework of RUHR.2010 – European Capital of Culture it has been reopened as a center for the arts and creativity. Among other facilities it houses the Museum Ostwall, a museum of modern and contemporary art.


A Winter Aconite (issued 08-06-2017) and a Zinnia (issued 02-04-2020) were used as postage.


Thank You very much Marcel!
