Brutalist Berlin | Bierpinsel Steglitz (Unisex Sweatshirt)

BRUTALIST BERLIN - the Bierpinsel, Steglitz.

Some buildings blend in. The Bierpinsel never even tried. Rising 47 meters above Schloßstraße on the Joachim-Tiburtius Bridge, this polygonal tower has been the landmark of Berlin-Steglitz since it opened in 1976 - a textbook piece of pop architecture designed by Ralf Schüler and Ursulina Schüler-Witte, the same duo behind the ICC.

The architects pictured a tree. Berliners saw a shaving brush. Add the planned restaurant inside and the free beer poured at the opening, and the name "Bierpinsel" - Beer Brush - was settled for good. Listed as a historical monument since 2017, its facade has carried the work of street artists since 2010, a one-year project that never left.

Our take renders the tower in heavy black halftone ink, looking up from street level at its stacked crown and zig-zag stair tower, with a little graffiti at the base and a bold red BRUTALIST BERLIN banner underneath. Printed on a classic-fit crewneck sweatshirt, it's made for grey Berlin days spent wandering concrete. Part of the .ryte TRACK Brutalist series, drawn and designed in Berlin for anyone who loves modernism and the strange, wonderful buildings of West Berlin.
