Walther-Schreiber-Platz underground station
The Walther-Schreiber-Platz underground station is a station on the Berlin underground line 9 on the border of the Friedenau district in the Tempelhof-Schöneberg district with the Steglitz district in the Steglitz-Zehlendorf district . The station, which was built from 1967 to 1969, is located completely under the Bundesallee that opens into Walther-Schreiber-Platz . The Schloss-Straßen-Center (SSC) and the Forum Steglitz are in the immediate vicinity . The station was opened on January 29, 1971 and until September 1974 formed the southern end point of the then line 9.
History and structure
The station was designed as a V-shaped transfer point between the U-Bahn line 9 and the previously planned line 10 , which should fork at Walther-Schreiber-Platz. The platform of line 10 under Rheinstrasse was not built.
The station was designed by the then building director Rainer G. Rümmler . Rümmler designed a typical Berlin underground station from the 1970s with a nine meter wide and 110 meter long central platform and a row of columns in the middle. The walls are clad with blue Eternit panels and the supports with silver-gray aluminum. The design is thus similar to the Eisenacher Straße and Bayerischer Platz underground stations on the U7 line, which were also designed by Rümmler at the same time . The platform, which was formerly made of asphalt, was tiled with light gray granite until 2009 and provided with a guidance system for the blind . The two access floors are tiled in yellow and green. The distribution level in the south was rebuilt in the course of the new construction of the Schloss-Straßen-Center at the end of 2005 and received direct access to this shopping center . A thorough renovation began in summer 2016.
In December 2019, the redesign of the platform walls, the ceilings and the lighting was completed.
