Does anyone know what this building with the golden pustule on top is going to be? It is going up next to the Arena in Munich, so I presume it has something to do with the World Cup (Fußball WM 2006 – there, I said it, now at least a German court has permitted it.):
LATER NOTE: I know a commenter has already told me what this is, but I haven’t added that here. Now (April 2009), I gather it is a Faulturm (digester tower or digestion tower). Here’s one in Fürth.
Meanwhile, something else to do with the World Cup:
This will be recognized in Britain as a Müller corner, although I don’t know if they have a Corner of the Month there.
Isn’t it a mosque?
I don’t know. Do you recognize it? There is one over in that direction, but further away, and as far as I can tell it is one with a striking minaret and a broader dome.
It would be nice to have a collection of roundish buildings around the Arena, though.
