The Scharnweberstraße underground station is a station on the U6 line of the Berlin underground . Seen from the city center, it is the first of three above-ground underground stations on this line, which are located on an embankment . In the station directory of the Berliner Verkehrsbetriebe (BVG), the subway station is listed with the abbreviation Scha .

Location and description

The station is located in the Berlin district of Reinickendorf in the district of the same name , at the southern end of Eichborndamm and south parallel to Scharnweberstrasse. It is 824 meters from Otisstraße Underground Station and 1053 meters from Kurt-Schumacher-Platz Underground Station . Immediately to the west of the station, the route crosses two bridges over the exits and entrances to the Eichborndamm junction of the federal motorway 111, which have been leading to Eichborndamm since 1975 or coming from Antonienstraße . For the first-mentioned bridge, an existing structure leading to a nearby sports area could be used due to its sufficient width.

The underground station, built on an embankment , has a slightly curved central platform covered with reinforced concrete . As the only one on the embankment of this line, it has an exit at both ends of the platform, the - more important - western one leads into a glazed vestibule. The 109.6 meter long platform is 7.21 meters high and 8.30 meters wide. Since one different ratios feared of the soil, the means supporting the butterfly-shaped platform roofing are passed through the dam established .

The design of the underground station is functional, the outside areas are clad with beige-colored split ceramic panels. In the vestibule and on the platform superstructures, blue-gray small mosaic tiles dominate, the metal parts there were given a red color code. The eastern exit only leads to the north; it was never open to the sports grounds. Instead of the original glazing, the opening - which makes sense from a structural point of view - is now barred.

history

The working title during construction was “Sports Ground”, and the underground station being built was also given this name in official city maps. On May 31, 1958, it was opened - not under the name of the nearby Eichborndamm, but as Scharnweberstrasse (Eichborndamm) . This designation was chosen to avoid confusion with the Eichborndamm S-Bahn station (at that time still incorrectly called Eichbornstrasse). The eponymous Scharnweberstrasse is approx. 90 meters away. The lawyer and politician Carl-August Scharnweber (1816-1894) took care of the district successfully to the development of traffic-to 1920 yet the county Niederbarnim belonging area.

In 1965 an escalator was retrofitted at the western entrance . Since December 7, 2010, the underground station has had an elevator system for barrier-free access. The costs for this amounted to 1.2 million euros.

outlook

From 2020 onwards, the platform and the roof, which have been badly damaged, are to be renovated.
