Friedrichstrasse Railway Station Bahnhof Friedrichstrasse
|
|
Friedrichstrasse Station in Berlin was opened on May 1, 1882. It had taken nine years to build and measured 163 m/540ft by 40 m/132ft. It quickly became the capital's most important station. Between 1924-26 it was completely redesigned with two parallel halls, one for long-distance and one for suburban lines. It suffered serious damage during the Second World War but was rebuilt by 1959-60. After the Berlin Wall was built in 1961 Friedrichstrasse became the only link for main-line, suburban and underground trains between the two sectors of the city.
