The Hackescher Markt is a the Berlin district center of the district of the same location station on the light rail . The listed building is located directly on Hackescher Markt and is served by the Berlin S-Bahn trains. The station was opened in 1882 as the Börse stop , and in 1951 it was renamed Marx-Engels-Platz . The S-Bahn station has had his current name since 1992 .

Location and structure

The stop is on the 2.9 km line of the Berlin Stadtbahn between the Alexanderplatz and Friedrichstrasse stations . The brick viaduct on which the route runs is framed in the area of ​​the station by Henriette-Herz-Platz in the south and by the streets Neue Promenade and Am Zwirngraben in the north; the eponymous Hackesche Markt is to the north of it.

The station was built in the historicizing style of the Italian Renaissance and has a central platform with two tracks for the S-Bahn trains. The 162-meter-long platform is 104 meters long with a hall in the eastern area , while the western platform area is covered by a single-stem construction. The hall facade is made of red clinker brick and thus adapts to the masonry light rail viaduct. Ornaments and rose windows decorate these. The hall roof is a wooden construction with a pointed skylight along the center of the platform. The pair of long-distance tracks will be led past the south side of the hall.

The stairs are at the ends of the platform hall and lead under the viaduct to the exits. There is an elevator system at the western entrance. The light rail arches below the station are mainly used for gastronomy. Nearby, a Deutsche Bahn service store has served as a ticket sales point since 2011.

history

The station was built in the years 1880–1882 according to plans by Johannes Vollmer , who emerged as the winner of an architectural competition. The architect was also entrusted with the construction of the Friedrichstrasse train station . The stop was given the name stock exchange because of its proximity to the Berlin stock exchange on the banks of the Spree . In the first year of construction the substructure was tackled and after completion the roof of the hall was erected; the following year the station was expanded. The construction turned out to be relatively complicated, as the building ground under the old twist mill , which was located at this point, was often different. Different types of foundation were therefore necessary on individual pillars .

On February 6, 1882, the city tracks of the Stadtbahn were driven on and inspected in the presence of Kaiser Wilhelm I and the Minister of Public Works Albert Maybach, and the following day they were put into operation together with the Börse stop. The equipment of the stations, which only serve city and ring traffic, was largely identical: There was a large departure hall along with three to four ticket counters, one to two waiting rooms, two separate toilets, offices and operating rooms for staff and equipment. The waiting rooms were replaced by waiting rooms on the platform soon after they opened.

In March 1903, the platforms were raised in two steps from 23 to 76 centimeters above the upper edge of the rails in order to enable the suburban trains to be linked to the city and ring railway trains.

Originally, the platform halls of the city train stations were covered with corrugated iron . The use of coke-fired locomotives led to corrosion of roofs, so that the cover be in the 1920s replaced had. The stock exchange station received a wooden cover. At the same time, extensive renovation of the tram arches and their reinforcement began in order to withstand the steadily increasing axle loads. A short section between the stock exchange and the Spree was not taken into account in these measures. Shortly afterwards, with the electrification of the light rail system, smoke levels fell again. The use of the electric multiple units from June 11, 1928 was preceded by further expansions, including the extension of the platform to the west and its elevation to 96 centimeters above the top of the rails. A substation was built near the station . The changeover to electrical operation took about nine months; in March 1929 the last regular steam trains ran on the city tracks.

The plans drawn up from 1937 to transform Berlin into the ' world capital Germania ' envisaged the removal of long-distance transport from the Stadtbahn. Of the total of four tracks, the inner pair of tracks would have been used by the S-Bahn, while the outer tracks would have served a long-distance S-Bahn. Apart from the track plans, however, no further data is available for the redesign of these construction measures. They were never tackled. Instead, there was multiple damage to the light rail and its stations. The traffic, which was suspended at the end of the Second World War , was resumed in November 1945 after makeshift repairs to the line. The substation facilities were expanded and transported away in the summer of 1953 as a reparation for the Soviet Union.

On May 1, 1951, the station was renamed Marx-Engels-Platz . The square (today Schloßplatz ) was 600 meters away as the crow flies on the Spree island . It was created shortly beforehand in its size when the Berlin Palace was demolished . A short time later the hall was given a red interior wall cladding.

In 1974 the S-Bahn station was entered in the district monument list. In 1986 it was refurbished in accordance with a listed building on the occasion of the upcoming 750th anniversary of the city . The red wall covering was removed again. The facades and rooms below the station were included in the work, the required shaped bricks were burned in the Großräschen clinker and brick factory . During the work, the S-Bahn trains were partly led past the hall via the long-distance tracks.

After the restoration was completed, the missing section of the viaduct between the S-Bahn station and the Spree was extensively renovated by VEB Brückenbau Dresden . For this, prefabricated plastic sliding cushions were pulled hydraulically under the arches and the outer walls were then covered with concrete segments.

After the political change , there was a discussion about renaming the S-Bahn station. The previous name was politically motivated and also incorrect when it came to the situation. In 1991, a working group of BVV  Berlin-Mitte decided to rename the company to the stock exchange , but the Berlin Senate prevailed by renaming it to Hackescher Markt . The name change became effective on May 31, 1992. The tram stops in the immediate vicinity already bore this name, so that the transfer relationship between the two modes of transport could now also be better expressed.

Two years after the name change, Deutsche Bahn began extensive renovation of the light rail. The remaining long-distance traffic was temporarily discontinued and the S-Bahn was moved to the long-distance tracks from October 17, 1994, so stops were only possible at the actual long-distance train stations. Since the Hackescher Markt S-Bahn station was an important transfer point between the S-Bahn and the tram, a makeshift platform for trains to the east was built after protests by the IGEB . The renovation work on the S-Bahn station itself was comparatively small and mainly concerned the renewal of the platforms, the installation of a guidance system for the blind and an elevator system for barrier-free access. After the work was completed, the S-Bahn was swiveled back onto the pair of tracks provided for it on October 21, 1996 and the S-Bahn station was once again served in both directions.

Transport links

From 1882, the stop was initially served by the city and ring railroad trains. From 1903 further connections to the eastern, south-eastern and western suburbs were established, which in 1930 were combined to form the Berlin S-Bahn. The direct connections from the Stadtbahn to the Ringbahn no longer play a role.

The S-Bahn station is currently served by the S3, S5, S7 and S9 lines of the Berlin S-Bahn, which provides direct connections to Berlin-Spandau , Potsdam , Strausberg , Ahrensfelde , Erkner and Berlin-Schönefeld Airport . You can change to the tram lines M1, M4, M5 and M6.
