Leipziger Straße is a train station of the Frankfurt U-Bahn . It is located on the C route and is served by the U6 and U7 lines. The station is located in the Bockenheim district under the street of the same name . The station opened on October 11, 1986.
location
Leipziger Straße station is between the Kirchplatz and Bockenheimer Warte stations . Leipziger Strasse is the most important shopping street in Bockenheim, which is why the station is very busy on weekdays.
Construction
Due to the narrow width of Leipziger Straße, the two single-track tunnel tubes of the subway were not built next to one another, but one above the other. This construction method, which is very complex due to the deep excavation pit and the existing groundwater, was used in two places in Frankfurt, namely here and in the similarly narrow Berger Straße in Bornheim .
The station therefore consists of three underground levels:
- the intermediate levels ("B-level") that are usual for Frankfurt underground stations, directly below the street level, where, among other things, the ticket machines are located. Such intermediate levels are located at both entrances.
- the single-track upper platform level ("C level"), which is used in north direction,
- the single-track lower platform level ("D-level"), which is used to the south.
The architecture of the station is kept relatively simple u. a. with pictures of older subway systems from Paris ( Métro Paris ) and London ( London Underground ).
