Building and architecture

Art by Dieter Erhard on the platform walls

The construction work for the 200 m long station building began in 1972 and was carried out in the open construction method with Berlin shoring . The elevator was upgraded in 1983.

The color of the subway station is green . The platform walls, tiled with ceramic tiles, are green from the floor to the level of the platform edge, then white with an interruption by the band with the platform name (white writing on a green background) and then green again up to the ceiling. The round supporting columns are also tiled in green.
