Wittenbergplatz (Berlin U-Bahn)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Wittenbergplatz is an Berlin U-Bahn station located on the U1, the U2, and the U3. The station lies in the northwestern corner of Schöneberg.

It is one of the oldest U-Bahn stations in Berlin, opened on March 11, 1902, with a most remarkable entrance hall built according to plans of Alfred Grenander in 1913. The building was badly damaged in World War II and reconstructed afterwards.

One of the station platforms features a sign donated by London Transport in 1952. This sign features the station's name, in the distinctive round, red and blue style of signs on the London Underground.

The Wittenbergplatz square leads directly to the Tauentzienstraße, one of the major shopping streets in Berlin, where the Kaufhaus des Westens (Department Store of the West, KaDeWe for short) is located.
