englischThe construction of infrastructure systems implies the expectation that the systems will last a long time and remain stable. Urban pneumatic tube systems, as they are known from the 19th and 20th century, do not exist anymore. Therefore, this study, based on an analysis of the pneumatic tube networks of Berlin and Hamburg, examines the function as well as the criticality of city pneumatic tube systems. Interdisciplinary approaches from infrastructure and CRITIS research are used to elaborate the network structures and modes of circulation of urban pneumatic tube mail in urban space. The focus is on processes of change, user groups, temporality and the progressive loss of relevance of the technology.
