Gregory's Server@gigabecquerel Fantastic. Super curious how widespread this is on the U-Bahn, I find it hard to believe it was just used in one station.
Will absolutely be visiting that station after CCC camp later this year!

 @jonty @gigabecquerel I found a stray reference to Rosenthaler standing out for it, so it's probably at least used way more there than elsewhere. But the architect did like 70 stations in Berlin (1910s-30s), so it wouldn't be too surprising if a few more used such glazes in smaller places. Most orange stations I can think of are distinctively 70s though.  @HeNeArXn @gigabecquerel "Vibrant colors of orange, yellow, red, green, blue, black, mauve, etc. were produced" from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uranium_tile I am amused by the concept of vibrant black |
@jonty There were (or still are) some tiles at the potsdamer platz (the red line at the ceiling), but that's in the old part of the station which is currently locked out for construction.
I fear it will end up looking like the rest of the station pretty soon, without any uranium in sight.
Found out about that one right here:
