The Sendlinger Tor subway station in the south of Munich's old town is a station of the Munich subway . The underground station is next to the main station and Odeonsplatz a traffic junction of the Munich local transport , where the main line 1 and the main line 2 of the underground cross. This is where the underground lines U1, U2, U3, U6, U7 and U8 as well as the tram lines 16, 17, 18, 27 and 28 meet. Around 150,000 people use the Sendlinger Tor underground station every day. Since March 22, 2017, the entire underground station has been fundamentally modernized, renovated and expanded. Among other things, two new exits will be created for the lower level, one of which leads to the existing mezzanine floor and one to the surface on Wallstrasse. The central changeover area will also be straightened out by building and converting the staircases and operating rooms. The renovation will probably take until 2023.
Subway station
Upper level (U3 and U6)
The station Sendlinger Tor of the U3 and U6 is one of the oldest stations in the route network. It opened together with the first Munich underground line on October 19, 1971.
Columns and wall cladding correspond to the uniform, functional design used at that time. The wall panels are yellow-brown and show the blue stripe of the trunk line of the U3 and U6. The pillars on the platform are tiled in the recognition color light blue. At the southern end and in the middle there are stairs to the mezzanine. The platforms of the U1, U2, U7 and U8 can be reached via escalators , which are arranged below the middle stairs. The elevator at the northern end of the platform only leads to the mezzanine floor and was only installed later.
The next stop to the north is Marienplatz . Immediately to the south of the station is a sweeping system in which the amplifier trains turn towards the football stadium and the Olympic center. At the end of the tunnel, the Lindwurm Tunnel to Goetheplatz, which was built in 1938–41 and is still used today, begins . During the Second World War it was first used as an air raid shelter and then used to grow mushrooms.
Lower level (U1, U2, U7 and U8)
The station with the abbreviation SU was opened to traffic when the underground line from Scheidplatz to Neuperlach Süd was opened on October 18, 1980. The U1, U2, U7 and U8 pass under the station of the U3 and U6 in a north-west-south-east direction. The platforms for each direction are located in an inwardly widened tunnel tube. Directly under the route of the upper level there is a cross platform into which the staircases from the upper level lead. A staircase on the side leads directly to the mezzanine. Compared to the upper level, the station is in a lighter shade of yellow and has the red stripe of the main line of the U1 and U2 on the wall behind the tracks. The next train station to the north-west is the main train station , where there is a connection to the S-Bahn and long-distance trains. To the southeast is the adjacent Fraunhoferstraße station . As on the upper level, trains coming from the north can turn over a sweeping system.
The U7 reinforcement line, which has been in operation since December 12, 2011, only runs during rush hour. Since December 15, 2013, the U8 amplifier line from the Olympiazentrum has ended at Sendlinger Tor on Saturdays .
Tram and bus
To the west of Sendlinger-Tor-Platz there is a tram stop, from whose platforms exits lead directly to the mezzanine floor. While lines 16, 17 and 18 cross the square coming from Sonnenstraße and continue on Müllerstraße, lines 27 and 28 have their terminus here in a turning loop.
Bus line 52 ends at Sendlinger Tor in a block loop, and line 62 also stops here.
