Berliner Platz (Berlin square) is an underground station of the Essen Stadtbahn in the Stadtkern district, Essen. It is one of three crossing stations of Essen Stadtbahn and Essen trams, the others being Essen Hauptbahnhof and Essen Rathaus (Essen City Hall). Today, lines U11 and U17 call the station, as well as line U18 which terminates here.

The station is located below the Berliner Platz square with its traffic roundabout. It has three levels, the upper level is a feeder level for pedestrians, Essen Stadtbahn light rail operates on the second, Essen trams on the third, which is the deepest tram station in Essen. There are lifts in operation. Since 11 July 2016 also the third and lowest level can be reached by them.[1][2]
