Altstadt Spandau underground station
The Altstadt Spandau is a station of the Berlin U-Bahn - U7 . It was opened on October 1, 1984 as part of the north-west extension of the U7 to Spandau . It is located under the old town of the same name in the Spandau district, parallel to the Am Juliusturm street .
The station, like many underground stations at that time, was designed very lavishly and splendidly by Rainer G. Rümmler . In March 2017, it was announced that the underground station - along with six others on the northern U7 - would be listed as a historical monument .
It lies at a depth of 14 meters, as the nearby Havel had to be crossed in the east . This is why the caisson construction method was used for the construction of this station . In the direction of the Spandau Town Hall , the shield tunneling method, which is rare and expensive in Berlin , was used in order to preserve the historically valuable building fabric in Spandau's old town.
A barrier-free expansion of the station including an elevator is planned by the end of 2019.
