The hansaplatz is a railway station in Berlin subway - U9 in the district Hansaviertel , the eponymous Hansaplatz located. It opened on August 28, 1961. The station is named Ha in the BVG station directory .
Location and structure
This station is the first in a northerly direction after the Zoologischer Garten underground station and is separated from it by a distance of 1442 meters and a journey time of around two minutes - unusually long for Berlin's underground railways. On this section of the route, parts of the Zoological Garden and the Great Tiergarten , the Landwehr Canal and the Straße des 17. Juni are crossed.
The central platform is 9.1 meters wide, entrances lead directly into the Hansaviertel , there are no intermediate levels . The cladding of the supports is made of aluminum , the walls are clad with square, silvery-gray glass tiles.
Originally, only escalators and stone stairs allowed access to the platform. On January 31, 2017, a lift was put into operation at the exit in the direction of the Grips Theater , so that the platform can now be reached without steps. For its installation one escalator had to give way, the second escalator remained. In order to take the monument status into account, the course of the dismantled escalator is modeled by different colored mosaic tiles and a stainless steel band. The mosaic tiles were extensively reproduced for this. The installation of the guidance system for the blind and the adaptation of the platform are then carried out. The costs for the barrier-free expansion amount to around 650,000 euros.
history
When construction began in 1955, the station was already completed in the summer of 1957 and could be viewed as part of the Interbau . At that time, an underground construction site shuttle service to the Zoologischer Garten underground station was offered.
Werner Klenke and Bruno Grimmek designed the underground train station . The architects of the northern entrance were Ernst Zinsser and Hansrudolf Plarre, those of the southern entrance Werner Düttmann and Siegfried Böhmer.
Today, the entire station -unterirdische and aerial parts is - as part of the overall plant buildings of the "Interbau 57" & Hansaviertel under monument protection .
A memorial plaque installed at the southern exit at the beginning of 2014 commemorates the deportation of Jewish citizens . It shows the names of 1,030 Jewish residents who were expelled from the Hansaviertel, deported and murdered during the National Socialist era . The panel was designed by the artist Katja van Dyck-Taras.
