Afrikanische Straße (Berlin U-Bahn)

Metro Station African road is a station of the Berlin U -Bahn line 6 in the district of Wedding of the district center. The BVG operates the station under the internal abbreviation Afr; the train station is 631 meters from the Kurt -Schumacher-Platz and 587 meters from the subway station Rehberge Metro Station.

Metro Station went on 3 May 1956 as part of the extension of line C (today: U6) from the lake road metro station to Kurt -Schumacher- Platz Underground Station is in operation. Originally, the station in the plans was not provided for the expansion. But the post-war development and the built in 1929-1931 Friedrich Ebert settlement justify its own train station. The said settlement also received an appreciation as a subtitle for the station name.

The station presents itself as a relatively simple, sober and discreet. Architect Bruno Grimmek designed a typical 110 meters long and eight meters wide central platform, which received a dressed with colorful Glasmosaiksteinchen row of columns in the middle. The ceiling slopes gently toward the row of columns of the platform.

Currently, the station is only accessible by stone stairs at the end of the platform. A kit with a lift system is not required until after 2016.
