Map | add to Travel Bag (NEW)


Elevated high above ground level in a lively part of Kreuzberg, Schlesisches Tor U-Bahn station is one of the most attractive stations in the city. Bestowed with beautiful Romanesque arches and towering stone columns, wooden bay windows and riveted iron beams—this 100 year old construction unifies Gothic, Renaissance and industrial elements. Situated at the end of the line in West Berlin, this used to be the place where the West ended and the East began. Yet nowadays, the trains continue eastward over the Oberbaumbrücke bridge into the former socialist sector. While the station itself hasn't changed much over the years, political events have opened up new horizons.
