The Schweinau underground station (abbreviation: SC ) was opened as the 25th  underground station of the Nuremberg underground on January 28, 1984. It is 684 m from the Hohe Marter underground station and 517 m from the St. Leonhard underground station . Until September 27, 1986 it was the terminus for lines U2 and U21 . The underground station is named after the Nuremberg district of Schweinau , which was incorporated in 1899 and in which it is located. It is used by around 8,400 passengers every day.

location

The station is located in the Schweinau district of Nuremberg and extends underground in a north-south direction under Schweinauer Hauptstrasse between Holbeinstrasse and Elisenstrasse. From both platform heads, stairs lead to a distribution floor and from there to the east and west side of Schweinauer Hauptstrasse. An elevator connects the northern platform head with the road surface.

Building and architecture

The station structure, for which construction work began on August 4, 1980, is 146 m long, 18 m wide and 13 m deep (one and a half times the depth). The platform heads were built using the open construction method and at the same time served as a drive-up shaft for the adjoining tunnel sections. The rest of the station was built using the new Austrian tunnel construction method . On the northern mezzanine floor there are structural preparations for an unrealized pedestrian tunnel to the Nuremberg-Schweinau railway station .

The platform walls are clad with red split strips and the crosscuts between the platform tubes with aluminum plates.
