History

Opened in 1913 and designed by William Leitgebel station Wilmersdorfer subway (now U3 ) received at the beginning of another parking area, there was only expected a small load in the direction Thielplatz. In the years 1968-1972 this platform was completely rebuilt as a transition to the newly created platform of the U7 had to be made ​​, and thus a third approach was necessary.

The platform of the U3, which is designated by Fpo, but was largely retained in the appearance of 1913. The lower platform of the U7 ( with Fpu called ) was designed by Rainer G. Rümmler, who as head of department at the Berlin Senate Department for Construction and Housing was responsible in particular for transport expansion projects in 1964.

The Fehrbellinerplatz had become after the division of the city into an important administrative center of West Berlin with up to 15,000 employees. Therefore Rümmler designed a distribution level on simple low position ( approximately five meters below the road) to separate the different flows of on, off and changing coaches passengers and thus to ensure a fast and safe operation. In addition, a total of six accesses from Fehrbellinerplatz were applied to the subway station, whose red edging lights are executed in Softline design.
