Architekturbüro Egon Konrad who worked on this station together with the U-Bahn department of the City of Munich. It is located under the Pilgersheimer Straße in the southern area of the city under the Candidbrücke and thus opens the densely populated part Untergiesing. The railway station is named after the painter and sculptor Pieter de Witte, called Candid Pietro, who in the 16th Century worked for residences and for churches in Munich, and created numerous works of art and altarpieces. The whole platform area, like walls, pillars and ceilings, is painted in a rainbow-like gradient. At the northern end it starts with purple and goes on to red, yellow and green to dark blue at the southern end of the platform, where a ramp on a lock level is reached. The coloring-design comes from Sabine Koschier.
