The Munich subway station Olympia shopping center is named after the eponymous shopping mall named and consists of two levels.
level 1
The upper level was opened on October 31, 2004 and is served by the U1. The train station is your northern end point and is 11.50 meters below Hanauer Straße . He has two barrier floors . The north has a bike-and-ride car park, which is unique in Munich's underground system and offers direct access to the Olympia shopping center and the Mona shopping center . The southern one leads to the platform of the U3. The artist Olaf Metzel created the installation “First right, then left, then always straight ahead” on the barrier floor , which consists of three motorway crash barriers. In contrast to most of the others in Munich, the platform has outer platforms to save a transfer level to the platform of the U3, which crosses almost at right angles. With a span of over 17 meters, the pillarless platform is the largest self-supporting reinforced concrete ceiling in the area of the Munich subway. The ceiling is painted blue, the walls have folded, partially mirrored stainless steel sheets. The stone floor is light.
Level 2
The U3 runs on the lower level, which opened on October 28, 2007. Until the opening of the line to Moosach on December 11, 2010, this was the northern end of the line. The station is located under Pelkovenstraße and has a mezzanine floor with a connection to the U1 and one that can be used to reach Pelkovenstraße. The back track walls consist of hundreds of pyramid-shaped stainless steel elements so that they reflect the light. The lighting is attached to the blue-painted ceiling with ellipsoidal struts halfway up. The interior fittings of the two stations were designed by Betz Architects Munich.
