The Berlin Innsbrucker Platz station is a two-part transfer station for the Berlin S-Bahn and U-Bahn in the Tempelhof-Schöneberg district , with the S-Bahn station in the Friedenau district and the subway station in the Schöneberg district at the eponymous square . It is located directly on the city motorway at the junction of the Ringbahn with the main road and is served by the S41, S42 and S46 S-Bahn lines and the U4 underground line . The underground station is now a listed building . The unused shell for the originally planned underground line U10 has been part of the station since the 1970s .
The Wilmersdorf freight yard was located southwest of the S-Bahn station, on the long-distance railway tracks .
S-Bahn station
The Innsbrucker Platz S-Bahn station is the youngest station on the Ringbahn. It was opened on July 1, 1933 and, with the exception of an interruption due to the war , was in operation in April / May 1945 until May 31, 1972. The construction of the city motorway and the construction of the underground station for the planned U10 made it necessary to redesign the place that gave it its name and to build the new Ringbahn bridge so that the S-Bahn station remained closed until September 30, 1979. After the closure of the Ringbahn as a result of the Reichsbahn strike in 1980 , passenger traffic to this station was not resumed. Only after the political turning point was the first section of the renovated Südring reopened on December 17, 1993, including the Innsbrucker Platz S-Bahn station.
Since the end of 2015, train handling has been carried out by the driver using the driver's cab monitor (ZAT-FM).
Subway station

Originally called Hauptstraße , the underground station is located at the southern end of Innsbrucker Straße and went into operation in 1910. It was created in 1909/1910 as part of the construction of the Schöneberg subway (today: line U4 ) and was designed by Paul Jatzow . The entrance to the subway station, designed as a stone portal, was originally located in the middle of Innsbrucker Straße on a traffic island, but was relocated to the middle of the then newly designed Innsbrucker Platz and connected to the tram in the 1920s . Access led to the platform via a decorative vestibule.
The platform of the underground station was initially laid out as a 45-meter-long central platform and, with its asphalt floor, riveted metal supports and tiled walls, resembles the other stations of the Schöneberg underground that were designed at the same time. The walls behind the tracks are covered with large-format red-brown ceramic tiles , which have largely been preserved to this day. In the case of the ceiling, on the other hand, there are deviations from the other stations: above the platform edge, barrel vaults alternate transversely and lengthways . As early as 1920, the platform of the underground station, which was initially only intended for three cars, was extended to its current 90 meters.
The station was designed as a provisional final stop and should have been significantly redesigned or even relocated if the underground line had been extended to the south. To the south of the underground station there was a tunnel that led to a sweeping and parking facility under Eisackstrasse and to the branch to the above-ground operating workshop of the Schöneberg underground. It was planned to extend the tunnel in Eisackstrasse in the direction of Schöneberger Südgelände near the Grazer Damm .
After the Schöneberg subway was connected directly to the track network of the Berlin subway at the converted Nollendorfplatz subway station in 1926 , there was no longer any need for own workshop capacities. In 1932, the workshop south of Eisackstrasse was closed. Today there is a schoolyard on the premises of the company workshop; the exit ramp can still be seen today.
In the course of the construction of the ring station (see above), which made it possible to change trains directly to the S-Bahn, the underground station was renamed Innsbrucker Platz (main street) on July 1, 1933 . According to the circumstances of the time, the new station signage was done in Gothic script, the use of which was greatly expanded in the first phase of the Nazi regime . Since the Latin script was common in traffic systems before and after, the station named in 1933 with its signs is an exception in the Berlin subway network.
After the underground station was badly damaged in the Second World War , but was already operational again on December 16, 1945, the entrance to the station was completely rebuilt in 1954. The entrance to the central island was closed, instead a new entrance was created north of the square in Innsbrucker Strasse in a fully glazed pavilion in the typical style of the 1950s, which led directly to the platform via stairs.
The construction of the city motorway 100 , which was laid out as a city ring and passed through a tunnel under Innsbrucker Platz, made further renovation necessary between 1971 and 1979. A large distribution floor was created between the road surface and the motorway tunnel, and the southern tunnel of the existing subway was cut off. It was no longer possible to continue building the U4 southwards, and the parking facility south of Innsbrucker Platz could no longer be used. The tracks of the U4 have since ended bluntly at the platform.
Instead, the shell for a station for the planned U10 underground line was built under the motorway tunnel under the main road . At the same time, the glazed access pavilion built in the 1950s was demolished and the existing underground station of the U4 was connected to the new pedestrian distribution floor. Pillars from the demolished Richard-Wagner-Platz station were used as supporting pillars for the now closed exit . Because the planned U10 has not yet been implemented and the distribution floor was therefore only partially used and required, initially only two entrances on the western side of the main street were completed. In 2001 a discount store moved into the remaining space; At the same time, the entrances on the east side of the main street were opened and a passenger elevator was built. In 2003 a second exit was opened that leads to Innsbrucker Straße.
