The Nordfriedhof underground station (abbreviation of the Münchner Verkehrsgesellschaft : NF ) is an underground station in the Schwabing district of the Bavarian capital, Munich . It is located on the main line 1 of the Munich subway and is served by the U6 line.
history
On January 31, 1965, the groundbreaking ceremony for the construction of the Munich subway network took place at the Schenkendorfstrasse subway station, as the station was then still called. With the anchoring of the first steel girder by the Bavarian Prime Minister Alfons Goppel and the Mayor of Munich Hans-Jochen Vogel in the same place, the symbolic start of construction followed two days later. In addition, on October 7, 1966, the first topping-out ceremony for a Munich subway station was celebrated at the station, which had received its current name up until then. After a few test drives and a few short journeys to use the underground by citizens, the first of them on October 19, 1968, regular underground operations at the station began on October 19, 1971, together with the opening of the route between the stations Goetheplatz and Kieferngarten, added. Like many stations on the route, this one was designed by Paolo Nestler . The elevators have been upgraded.
In the early 1990s, the station was made barrier-free. For this purpose, a bridge connecting both platforms was built, which can be reached from each of these via an elevator, and on the east side also via a staircase. Barrier-free access to the train station is made possible by the elevator on the west side, which leads to the surface that it reaches next to Ungererstraße.
Location and surroundings
The station is located below the parallel Ungererstraße, which at the level of the station crosses the Mittlerer Ring , which is called Schenkendorfstraße here , without any elevation . The north cemetery , from which the station takes its name, is located immediately northeast of the station. You can also reach the Ungererbad in the south from the train station .
The route follows the Ungererstrasse in both directions. Below it are both the Alte Heide underground station, 740 meters out of town, and the Dietlindenstraße underground station , which is 813 meters away in the other direction. To Munich city center ( Marienplatz train station ) it is about 4.3 kilometers and a nine-minute drive.
Station complex
construction
The station is one of the few in the Munich underground network that has two side platforms. A row of columns separates the two tracks and supports the station vault. At both ends of the station there are barrier floors that connect the two platforms via fixed and escalators, each with a staircase on both sides of Ungererstraße. An elevator leads from track 2 to a pedestrian walkway under the ceiling of the platform hall, which bridges the track system. From there you can get into a second elevator that connects platform 1 with the surface.
layout
The walls of the station concourse are clad with gray fiber cement panels, some of which have been replaced with orange ones. The lighting was installed in recesses in the ceiling cladding made of slats, the floor is covered with gray panels. Station labels are attached between the ocher-colored columns. These are, as well as the line band on the walls typical for the stations on main route 1, in dark blue.
traffic
The U6 runs every 10 minutes at the station, every 5 minutes during peak times. Out of town, roughly every second underground train ends in Fröttmaning. It is possible to change to the city bus route 150.
