The subway station Corvisart is a high station of line 6 of the Paris Métro .
location
The station is located on the border of the Quartier de Croulebarbe and the Quartier de la Maison-Blanche in the 13th arrondissement of Paris . It lies lengthways across the median of Boulevard Auguste-Blanqui east of the confluence of Rue Corvisart.
Surname
It is named after Rue Corvisart, which opens into Boulevard Auguste-Blanqui from the northwest. The physician Jean-Nicolas des Marets, Baron Corvisart was Napoléon Bonaparte's personal physician .
history
On April 24, 1906, the station went into operation with the opening of the extension of line 2 Sud from Passy to Place d'Italie . Line 2 Sud was abandoned as such on October 14, 1907, and its route to the southwest end section of line 5 ( Étoile - Gare du Nord ).
In order to be able to better distribute the flow of visitors in the course of the Paris colonial exhibition of 1931, line 6 ran for the first time on the Etoile - Place d'Italie section, as it has a conveniently located transfer station to line 8 at the Daumesnil station . After the end of the exhibition, the old lines were restored. It was not until October 6, 1942 that they were changed again to the effect that line 6 has been running at Corvisart station since then.
During the First World War , the 13th arrondissement was bombed by German planes on June 2, 1918. The Corvisart station was damaged in the process and many panes of the roof and side glazing were destroyed. In July 1974, line 6 was converted for vehicles that run on gas-filled rubber tires .
description
The structure of the station corresponds to most of the other high-altitude stations on Line 6. It is 75 m long and has 4.10 m wide side platforms on the two parallel tracks. Two longitudinal beams, each resting on a row of iron columns, carry the track bed and the inner edges of the platforms. Their outer edges and the side walls rest on two further longitudinal girders, which are supported by brick pillars. At the four corners of the station, a pillar protrudes over the roof for design reasons. The station has a gable roof - glass near the ridge - which also spans the tracks. The brick side walls show geometric ornaments on the outside.
The stairs at the southwest end lead to two exits that lead to the median. On the northeast side, a footbridge leads over the tracks. A ramp begins there that leads the route to the mouth of the tunnel in front of the Place d'Italie station. Immediately to the southwest of the station there is a tight 45 ° curve in the direction of Glacière .
vehicles
Initially, trains with wooden superstructures ran on the route, consisting of two approximately 8 m long, two-axle railcars and six similar trailer cars . From around 1907, four-car, later five-car trains of the Sprague-Thomson design, resting on bogies , ran . In July 1974, line 6 was converted to rubber-tired vehicles, and since then there have been trains from the MP 73 series consisting of three multiple units and two sidecars .
Surroundings
Remarks
- ↑ Since line 2 was originally planned as a circular railway, but was not designed as such, its line number initially existed twice as lines 2 north (today's line 2 ) and 2 south
- ↑ Line 5 temporarily ended at the Place d'Italie station when coming from the north
- ↑ The former eastern terminus Porte de Charenton of line 8 was at the main entrance of the colonial exhibition
- ↑ At the similarly constructed elevated railway stations on Line 2, the side walls are glazed and only the platforms, but not the tracks, are covered
- ↑ A railcar with a one-sided driver's cab runs at each end of the train, with a driverless cab and two non-motorized sidecars in between
