History

This station was opened in 1930 and built by Alfred Grenander.

A few years later, the Second World War began in 1939, which initially had no direct impact on the station. Only from 1944, the BVG shortened the operation of the line C to Bergstraße, as the tunnel south of the station, including the stations Neukölln and Grenzallee, the arms company Henschel-Flugwerke for monthly 40,000 marks (purchasing power adjusted in today's currency: around 149,200 euros) was made available. However, this foreign use soon became unnecessary due to the ongoing war.

It was the end of the Line CI until 1963. [1]

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

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.
