This is the Parabelrutsche which translates as the Parabole Slide. Located at the University of Technology in Munich, Germany, the slide enables students and other visitors to make the journey from the fourth floor a little quicker than might be expected.
The building in which it can be found was built in 2002 to host the Faculty of Computer Science and mathematics. It does look like it was based on an open plan prison - some students jokingly call it Alcatraz. Yet the Parabola Slide makes up for the otherwise rather bleak interior.
