The Maxfeld (abbreviation: MF ) is the 44th  subway station of Nuremberg subway opened and was on 14 June of 2008. It is 963 m from Rathenauplatz underground station and 453 m from Kaulbachplatz underground station and was the U3 terminus until December 10, 2011. On the west side of the station there is a platform change that can be used at a point and a parking facility, and in the direction of Rathenauplatz there is a platform change that can be driven on. It is used by around 14,500 passengers every day.

The area in the northeast of Nuremberg was called Judenbühl until 1856 and then renamed Maxfeld in honor of King Maximilian II . Maxfeld belongs to the Nuremberg districts of the Gardens behind the Veste and Rennweg and was incorporated into Nuremberg together with them in 1825 (Rennweg) and 1865 (Gardens hdV). In the plans from the 1970s, today's Rennweg underground station (at that time planned directly under Äußere Bayreuther Straße) was to be given the name Maxfeld .

location

The train station is located in the Maxfeld district of Nuremberg and extends underground in an east-west orientation under Goethestrasse between Löbleinstrasse and Schlüsselfelderstrasse. The exits at both platform heads lead directly to the street surface and are located at the intersection of Goethestrasse with Schlüsselfelderstrasse and Löbleinstrasse. There is also an elevator on Löbleinstrasse .

Building and architecture

The station structure is 179 m long, 15 m wide and 7.5 m deep (single depth). Construction work for the train station began in 2003 and was carried out using the open construction method with subsequent covering of the excavation pit.

The design of the station was entrusted to the Haid + Partner architects. On the platform walls there are replicas of the famous Tischbein portrait by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe as well as panels with quotations from his works. The color of the building materials used is based on Goethe's theory of colors .
