History and Structure

Metro Station Ullsteinstraße was created as part of the Südverlängerung of Tempelhof branch of the North-South railway to Alt -Marie village. The planning of this goes back to the Weimar Republic, the construction of this section of line but was begun in 1961. Like the other stations at the same time incurred the southern North-South line and the U7 train station by Rainer G. Rümmler was designed.

The crossing of the Teltow Canal made ​​an unusual design required for Berlin: The Metro uses a half between Tempelhof and Marie Damm over the canal leading, newly built for the metro Stubenrauch bridge. The underground station is within the executed in reinforced concrete bridges - hollow body in sub-surface layer under the eastern lane of the bridge, which therefore is significantly higher than the western lane. For ships a headroom of 4.60 meters is given.

Rümmler designed a 110 meter long and nearly nine -meter-wide central platform with two entrances. The design is similar to the same time incurred Metro Station Moeckernbruecke the U7: The walls behind the tracks are tiled in yellow, the support columns and the lying under the bridge wall that divides the platform almost its entire length, are covered with dark basalt. The floor was bright ceramic tiles. A special feature is the Beschallungsanalage: Instead distributed by many speakers, the station had a single long sound tube station platform, which only had a center speaker. The sound could escape numerous small openings on the platform.

In October 2013, a lift was put into operation after one year of construction. The station has since become accessible.
