Dostoyevskaya (Saint Petersburg Metro)
Dostoyevskaya (Russian Достоевская ) is an underground station of the Metro St Petersburg on line 4 It represents a transfer station in the center of the Russian metropolis of Saint Petersburg and was put into operation on 30 December 1991. Named is the station in honor of the Russian novelist Fyodor Dostoevsky, whose former home (now operated as a museum ) is located near the subway station.
Description
The metro station is located in 62 meters deep and is accessible from the street via a Zugangsvestibül. The latter is located in the southwestern region of the Vladimir - square (Russian Владимирская площадь ) at the mouth of the Zagorodny Prospect ( Загородный проспект ). The Wladimir course is located in the historical center of St.-Petersburg south of Nevsky Prospekt, which is ( проспект Владимирский ) over the Vladimir Prospect on foot in a few minutes. Just as Dostoevsky Museum ( which, however, the transit station Metro Station Wladimirskaja is physically closer ) for example, is the Fontanka River and around the Alexandrinsky theater accessible via the Lomonosov Bridge and the classical ensemble quickly.
The Zugangsvestibül provides, as in the St. Petersburg metro system common to constitute a separate building, which was built over in 2006 by a newly constructed shopping center in front of him partially, so since there is a direct transition between the station and the ground floor of the center. Furthermore, the platform of the Dostoyevskaya via the transition tunnel of the subway station Wladimirskaja can be reached on line 1. This underground station, in whose area the lines 1 and 4 intersect, has made its own entrance from the street, which is on the other side of Vladimir Square.
The main hall inside the Zugangsvestibüls the Dostoyevskaya is joined by three long escalators, an intermediate level, and several stages with the platform area at the northern end. The much shorter escalators from the opposite end of the platform of lead, however, in the transition tunnel to the station Wladimirskaja Line 1 The unusually bent away during this transition tunnel is due to difficulties in the construction of the early 1990s: had A portion of the original than just planned transition to the side be guided, as several buildings threatened to collapse at times directly above him.
The vestibule of the Dostoyevskaya since 2000 on weekdays only 7-20 clock in operation. For the remaining operating time of the Metro subway station can enter only via the station Wladimirskaja and the transition tunnel or be left.
Architecture
The concourse provides a common for the St. Petersburg metro system construction from an island platform with two rows of the vault supporting pillars dar. Based on the name of the station or the work of the eponymous subject experienced the hall by special decorative elements but overall a very original shape, their authors, the architects AW Shuk and A.D. Tokman were. So are the restrained lighting of the hall with lamps that are stylized by street lamps from the 19th century, the atmosphere of St. Petersburg, as it had been to Dostoevsky's time, and was described in his particular early works frequently, to great effect again. Nor are the reminiscent of some buildings of the St. Petersburg classicism arcade -like transitions between the support columns, but especially the decorative cast- iron railings that were installed in some of the arcades in each case together with a bench. Both the columns as well as the outer walls above the tracks are covered with light to dark gray marble slabs, creating together with a continuous gray granite floor, a reminiscent of the often bleak perception of the Petersburg cityscape in Dostoevsky's works ambiance. In leading to the intermediate output level, where the three escalators to switch hall begin to find a wall mosaic, which gives an idea of a stylized illustration of old Petersburg (including those emerging from the row of houses dome of St. Isaac's Cathedral ).
