Berlin-Mitte unites six districts with fundamentally different building structures: Wedding and Gesundbrunnen are characterised by densely built Gründerzeit period buildings with cast-iron pipe systems from the turn of the century. The Hansaviertel was built as a model post-war estate in the 1950s with then-modern, now ageing pipe systems. In the core of Mitte, historic government buildings stand alongside completely renovated new builds. Moabit combines Gründerzeit quarters with commercial areas around the Markthalle and Westhafen. Each district brings its own pipe problems.
The drinking water in Berlin-Mitte is supplied from the Friedrichshagen and Tegel waterworks according to Berliner Wasserbetriebe – with a hardness of 14 to 18 degrees German hardness. This medium-hard to hard water accelerates limescale deposits in the cast-iron pipes of the period buildings in Wedding, Gesundbrunnen and Moabit. In pipes that have been in operation for over 100 years, corrosion and limescale narrow the pipe diameter considerably. The dense development in Wedding and Gesundbrunnen with numerous apartment buildings means heavy load on the shared riser pipes – blockages often affect multiple parties simultaneously.
