Rehberge (Berlin U-Bahn)

The Rehberge underground station is a station of the metro line 6 to the miller street in Berlin 's district of Wedding (district center). It is located near the eponymous, in the 1920s furnished, Rehberge Park.

Planning

The Rehberge underground station is part of the so-called "Miller Road Underground", an extension of the former line C- Nord towards Tegel. The project comprised approximately 2.4 km and provided for three stations. The starting point was the subway station lake road.

Construction

For the first time, the expansion of the line was proposed to the North in April 1929 by Ernst Reuter, the former Berlin city council for traffic. In July 1929, the expansion, but had to because of the global economic crisis triggered by the financial crisis in Berlin in the autumn of 1930 be set again.

After the Second World War, in turn, suggested Ernst Reuter, now Mayor of Berlin, the further expansion of the route before. In August 1953, the Senate decided, taking advantage of the preparatory work of 1929/1930, to extend the line up to Tegel. On 3 May 1956, the route extension was opened.

Since autumn 2009, the Rehberge underground station is being redeveloped. The first of four inputs is completed on the south side. An elevator is from December 1, 2010 in operation and thus provides barrier-free access, the costs amounted to approximately 900,000 euros. The construction work still going on further.

Station building

The architectural design of the stations along the new line was made by Senate Building Director Bruno Grimmek, which was based on earlier designs by Alfred Grenander for other routes. The platforms were created each center, are about eight feet wide and have central columns with a hexagonal profile.

The Rehberge underground station - originally the name of Goethe Park and Otawistraße were provided for the station - has a central platform and the mezzanine floor a porch. At both ends of the platforms there are two entrances each. The center supports on the platform have a hexagonal profile and are covered with yellow ( optically the terrazzo -like ) stones. The walls of the subway station are covered with bright green ceramic tiles. The name of the station is mounted in capital letters directly on the tiles of the wall covering, lighting - at that time a novelty - was from the beginning by neon lights.

Connection

At the subway station, there is no transit traffic to other lines of the Berlin transport.
