The Wöhrder Wiese underground station (abbreviation: WW ) is the 30th  underground station of the Nuremberg underground and was opened on September 29, 1990. It is 767 m from the Hauptbahnhof underground station and 525 m from Rathenauplatz underground station . An x-shaped double track change connects to the station in the direction of Röthenbach. The Wöhrder Wiese is a park-like green area between Lake Wöhrder and the eastern edge of Nuremberg's old town. It is named after the Nuremberg district of Wöhrd , which was incorporated in 1825 . It is used by around 17,200 passengers every day.

location

The train station is located in the Nuremberg district of Gleißbühl and extends underground in a south-north direction east of the Franz-Josef-Strauss Bridge between Pegnitz and Prinzregentenufer. From the southern head of the platform, a staircase leads directly to Wöhrder Wiese , the northern station staircase leads to a distribution floor and from there to Wöhrder Wiese, Prinzregentenufer and Laufertorgraben. An elevator takes you from the center of the station to the peninsula between Pegnitz, Nonnenbach and Franz-Josef-Strauss-Brücke.

The Cinecittà , the Natural History Society , the Georg-Simon-Ohm University , the Insel Schütt and the Wöhrder Wiese are in the vicinity of the train station .

Building and architecture

The station structure is 147 m long, 17.5 m wide and 15 m deep (one and a half times the depth). The construction work for the station began on April 1, 1987 and was carried out using the cut-and-cover method with back-anchored sheet piling . During the construction work, the Nonnenbach and the Pegnitz were guided over the excavation pit with trough bridges, the northern arm of the Pegnitz was visibly integrated into the building ceiling and incorporated into the station design. Due to its proximity to the Pegnitz, the south exit is provided with flood protection devices (rails in the walls into which panels can be embedded).

The architectural design was carried out by the Nuremberg designers Stefan Maier and Bernhard Lugert. The green circles on the platform walls symbolize the Wöhrder Wiese and the blue circles on the wall and ceiling indicate the Pegnitz crossing in the middle of the building. The remaining walls and the ceiling are covered with coarse-pored shotcrete.
