Berlin Innsbrucker Platz station
Berlin Innsbrucker Platz is a railway station in the Schöneberg district of Berlin and located on the square of the same name. It is served by the Ringbahn lines Template:SBB lines, Template:SBB lines, Template:SBB lines and Template:SBB lines of the Berlin S-Bahn, as well as by the U-Bahn line Template:BVG lines.
The U-Bahn station opened in 1910 with the original name Hauptstraße after the section of the Reichsstraße 1 running through the districts of Schöneberg and Friedenau. It was renamed Innsbrucker Platz, after the Tyrolean capital Innsbruck, with the inauguration of the S-Bahn station in 1933. After the war the station was reopened in 1945. In the 1970s the entrance was changed a few times due to the construction of a tunnel in the course of the BAB 100 motorway (Stadtring).
The platform is too short to cope more than six wagons. A buffer marks the end of the short U4 line, an elongation is not in sight.[1]
