history

The station is part of the elevated railway in Fürther Straße , which was built between September 6, 1967 and autumn 1970 in connection with the construction of the Frankenschnellweg . On November 4, 1970, the station was first opened to the tram and served by it until June 20, 1981. Because of the tram operation, it has two side platforms. This was followed by the approx. One year renovation phase in order to bring the structure and the stations up to underground standards; u. a. the platforms were brought to 1 m above the top of the rails and elevators were retrofitted. On March 20, 1982, the station was opened for the underground. In the summer of 2000, the elevated railway was renovated and the station was given a new look.

location

The station is located in the Muggenhof district of Nuremberg and extends in an elevated position in an east-west direction over the intersection of Fürther- / Adolf-Braun- / Sigmundstraße between Fuchs- and Tassilostraße. From both platform heads exits lead to a distribution floor and from there two stairways each to the north and south side of Fürther Straße. An elevator leads from each side platform down to the center island east of the intersection.

Building and architecture

The station building is 6 m above the road surface, is 169 m long, 16.56 m wide and 8 m high.

The side platform delimitation consists of a frosted glass wall from floor to ceiling , which is preceded by an iron railing. The corrugated iron roof rests on 17 supports that are located between the two tracks on a wall. Since the renovation, the columns have been painted yellow and the wall gray .
