Map of the Langwasser / Mitte underground station

The Langwasser Mitte underground station (abbreviation: LM ) was opened as the third underground station on the Nuremberg underground on March 1, 1972. It is 591 m from the Scharfreiterring underground station and 494 m from the Gemeinschaftshaus underground station . In the original plans, this underground station had the working title Breslauer Straße . Its current name goes back to its location in the center of the Langwasser district of Nuremberg . It is used by around 18,500 passengers every day.

location

The station is located in the Nuremberg district Langwasser and extends underground in northwest-southeast alignment between the crossing Otto-Bärnreuther- / Breslauer Street and the bus station . The north entrance leads to Breslauer Strasse, the south entrance to the bus station. The elevator goes from the center of the platform to the surface north of the bus station.

The Franken-Center is located in the immediate vicinity of the train station .

Building and architecture

Construction work on the station building began in 1967 and was carried out using the cut-and-cover method. The elevator was retrofitted in 1982.

The design of the station as a functional building corresponds to the style of the 1960s. The platform walls, tiled with ceramic tiles, are gray from the floor to the level of the platform edge and then white to the ceiling, only the strip with the stop name is light brown with white lettering. The square ceiling supports are also tiled in white.

The bus station is spanned by a massive concrete roof and was built when the subway was built. However, it only went into full operation on January 28, 1978 when the U-Bahn was extended to Nuremberg's old town.
