| The Bahnhof Zoo was originally a Stadtbahn station, opened in February 1882. On March 11, 1902 the first Berlin U-Bahn line, today the U2, was opened under ground. Between 1934 and 1940 the station was rebuilt, and the track installations were expanded. In August 1961, below the U2, the new U-Bahn Line 9 was opened, which connected the station with the transportation network in the north-south direction. The fact that with only two platforms and four tracks for long-distance trains the station was still the most important in West Berlin was another unnatural phenomenon of the... ( broken link) |

| Early history The station opened in 1842 as Frankfurter Bahnhof as the terminus of the 100-km railway to Frankfurt (Oder). The first building was slightly north of its present location. In 1845, it was renamed Niederschlesisch-Märkischer Bahnhof (Lower Silesia-Brandenburg Station) after a railway merger. When the railways were taken over by the Prussian state in 1852, it was renamed Schlesischer Bahnhof (Silesia Station). It was rebuilt on the present site in 1882 when construction began on the Berlin Stadtbahn, the elevated railway through the city center built to link the city's major stations, completed in 1886. Two of the four tracks on the Stadtbahn later came to form one of the main routes of the Berlin S-Bahn suburban railway. The Ostbahnhof has never had a link to the... ( broken link) |

| Lehrter Bahnhof (Lehrte Station) opened in 1871 as the terminus of the railway linking Berlin with Lehrte, near Hanover, which later became Germany's most important east-west main line. In 1882, with the completion of the Stadtbahn (City Railway, Berlin's four-track central elevated railway line, which carries both local and main line services), just north of the station, a smaller interchange station called Lehrter Stadtbahnhof was opened to provide connections with the new line. This station later became part of the Berlin S-Bahn. In 1884, after the closure of nearby Hamburger Bahnhof (Hamburg Station), Lehrter Bahnhof became the terminus for trains to and from Hamburg. Following heavy damage during World War II, limited services to the main station were resumed, but then suspended in 1951. In 1957, with the railways to West Berlin under the control of East Germany, Lehrter Bahnhof was demolished, but Lehrter Stadtbahnhof continued as a stop on the S-Bahn. In 1987, it was extensively renovated to commemorate Berlin's 750th anniversary. After German reunification it was decided to improve Berlin's railway network by constructing a new north-south main line, to supplement the east-west Stadtbahn. Lehrter Stadtbahnhof was considered to be the logical location for a new central station. Lehrter Bahnhof history Between 1868 and 1871, a 239 kilometre railway was built between Hanover and Berlin via Lehrte by the Magdeburg Halberstädter railway company. Lehrter Bahnhof was constructed as the ... ( broken link) |

| The station's original name originates from the nearby General-Pape-Straße, which is named after the Prussian general Alexander August Wilhelm von Pape. The Ringbahn platforms were opened on January 1, 1901, the Ringbahn platform opened as an island platform on December 1, 1901. Becoming Südkreuz The station played a vital part in Deutsche Bahn's new concept for long-distance services in Berlin; it was deemed necessary to have a long-distance station in southern Berlin for the new north-south axis, so it was decided to rebuild Papestraße and rename the station to Südkreuz, giving the station a more intuitive name like the Ostkreuz (East Cross) and Westkreuz (West Cross) stations on the Berlin Stadtbahn. Construction, however, was severely delayed due to unexpected difficulties and ... ( broken link) |

| The station opened at the Ringbahn railway line on July 17, 1871. The junction with the Nordbahn line to Neubrandenburg was finished on July 10, 1877. From May 1, 1897 on Gesundbrunnen also had access to the Berlin-Szczecin railway line, whose original tracks were shifted southwards to meet the Ringbahn here. On August 8, 1924 Gesunbrunnen was one of the first stations to be part of the Berlin S-Bahn system. After World War II and the division of Berlin long-distance train service diminuished and finally discontinued on May 18, 1952. The S-Bahn system was also affected by the construction of the Berlin Wall in 1961, when the network was partitioned in a eastern and western half. After German reunification, Gesundbrunnen was rebuilt as... ( broken link) |
