It lies west of the harbor Tempelhof and the Ullstein house under the roadway Stubenrauchstraße bridge over the Teltow Canal in the district of Tempelhof the district Tempelhof-Schöneberg and carries the BVG abbreviation Ull . The station was put into operation together with the other stations of the Mariendorfer U-Bahn between the Tempelhof ( Südring ) and Alt-Mariendorf stations , which became the southern section of the independent line 6, on February 28, 1966.

History and structure

Barrier-free entrance to the subway with elevator.

The underground station is inside the hollow structure of the Stubenrauchbrücke

The Ullsteinstraße underground station was built as part of the southern extension of the Tempelhof branch of the north-south railway to Alt-Mariendorf . The planning for this goes back to the Weimar Republic , but construction of this section of the route did not begin until 1961. Like the other stations on the southern north-south line and the U7 line that were built at the same time , the station was designed by Rainer G. Rümmler .

The crossing of the Teltow Canal required a construction that was unusual for Berlin: the subway uses half of the Stubenrauchbrücke , which was newly built for the subway and crosses the canal between Tempelhofer and Mariendorfer Damm . The underground station is located within the reinforced concrete hollow body of the bridge in a paving layer under the eastern lane of the bridge, which is therefore significantly higher than the western lane. A passage height of 4.60 meters is given for ships.

Rümmler designed a 110 meter long and almost nine meter wide central platform with two entrances. The design is similar to the Möckernbrücke underground station on the U7 line , which was also created at the same time : the walls behind the tracks are tiled in yellow, the support columns and the wall below the bridge, which divides the platform almost along its entire length, are clad in dark basalt . The floor received light ceramic tiles . The public address system was also a special feature: instead of many loudspeakers, the station had a single, platform-length sound tube with only one central loudspeaker. The sound could escape through numerous small openings above the platform. The station now has a normal loudspeaker system.

In October 2013, after a year of construction, an elevator was put into operation. Since then, the station has been barrier-free .
