Bernauer StraÃŸe (Berlin U-Bahn)

The underground station Bernauer Straße is a railway station on the line U8 of the Berlin U -Bahn. It was opened on 18 April 1930 and bears in station list of the Berlin Transport Authority the name B. The station has an elevator to exit the platform and is therefore called a barrier-free.

The station is equipped with an eight -meter wide and 130 meters long middle platform, and is about four to five feet below the Fountain Street (south of the junction with the Bernauer Straße). Exits lead directly to the street, there is no intermediate level. North of the metro station is a interchange with Metro Tram M10.

History

Already in 1907 put the AEG before the Berlin municipal plans to build a high - and underground through the fountain street. After lengthy negotiations, it was agreed in 1912 to build the line, which was taken in the same year in attack. In addition to the tunneling of the Spree founded by AEG AEG- speed rail -AG started construction of the first sections along the road well and the two stations Bernauer Strasse and Volta Road. After completion of the shell in 1914 the architect Peter Behrens was commissioned to design the two stations. Behrens worked at the time as artistic advisor at AEG and designed the two almost identical stations with a central platform in a simple low position, ie just below the road surface. This should be supported by a number of black marble columns. For wall cladding he saw square ceramic tiles. However, the ongoing World War I prevented the further implementation of the project.

It was not until the late 1920s, there was then a realization of the project. As a home architect of the elevated railway company, which went up in the BVG in 1929, Alfred Grenander completed the facility, and on 18 April 1930, the opening could take place.

After the Second World War, the metro station was below the border between the Soviet and the French sector. As a result, it came through the Wall on 13 August 1961 to the closure of the station, so as five other stations along the line to a " ghost station " was where by the trains. An opening came into force only with the turn in the first part of the West was reopened on 12 April 1990. The entrance on the eastern side was allowed a few weeks later with the monetary union of the two German states on July 1, 1990.
