On my walk through Lingen in search of National Monuments, I stumbled upon this old gas station.
It is a German National Monument and was built between 1955 and 1960. For which brand is unknown to me.
Today it is called Foto-Tankstelle and houses a photo store with 1-hour service.

The Register of Monuments of the State of Lower Saxony (
visit link) reads:
"Gas station with glazed salesroom on the right and workshop/maintenance hall on the left. One-story building on rectangular ground plan under flat roof, on the right very far projecting canopy on mushroom-like support. Built around 1955/1960.
The Konrad-Adenauer-Ring 12 gas station is of historical significance due to its testimonial and visual value for the history of construction and as an exemplary gas station of the 1950s, as well as for the history of traffic; therefore, its preservation is in the public interest."
