History

The station was originally named Hellersdorfer Straße in the planning stage. The station opened in July 1989, just a few months before the fall of the Berlin Wall. The eastern extension of the line E was one of the last major construction projects of the former German Democratic Republic.

In the beginning the name was Albert-Norden-Straße. On 2 October 1991, after the reunification the road was changed to Cecilienstraße while the station's name is renamed to Kaulsdorf Nord. [1]

<span class="mw-page-title-main">History of the Berlin U-Bahn</span> Aspect of history

The Berlin U-Bahn originated in 1880 with Werner Siemens' idea to build an urban railway in Berlin. During the nine years after the German Empire was founded, the city's population grew by over one-third and traffic problems increased. In 1896, Siemens & Halske began to construct the first stretch of overhead railway. On 1 April 1897, the company began construction of an electric underground railway. The Berliner Verkehrs Aktiengesellschaft (BVG) was formed in 1928, and took over further construction and operation of the network. In 1938, the company was renamed Berlin Transport Company; the original acronym, however, remained. Since 1994, the BVG has been a public company.
