History
Due to their form also referred to as "Pilze" (mushrooms) in Biel/Bienne, the former tram stop shelter on the Juraplatz/Place du Jura is one of these protected ones built during the period of "Red Biel/Bienne".
After the tramways were converted to trolleybus operation in Biel/Bienne in the 1940s, the station kept it original purpose and operates as bus stop until today.
In 2010 the multimedia artist and curator Enrique Muñoz García founded JURAPLATZ and the "Pilz" became an independent public art space where national and international artits organize Art Installations, performances and concerts.
