Görlitzer Bahnhof is a Berlin U-Bahn station on the viaduct of the Template:BVG lines and Template:BVG lines.

It is located in Kreuzberg, in an area that offers a wide range of nightlife but is also notorious for its riots on 1 May.

History

The station opened on 18 February 1902 under the name of Oranienstraße and is still preserved in its original condition. Designed by the company Siemens & Halske. In 1926, it was named after the nearby Görlitzer Bahnhof, one of Berlin's pre-war railway stations where southeastbound trains departed.

On 8 February 1945, the eastern parts of the section were completely destroyed. On 18 March 1945, there was a heavy damage to the track area. On April 30, 1951, the train station Görlitzer Bahnhof was closed to passengers and in 1987 closed for freight. The name Görlitzer Bahnhof today is only used by the U-Bahn station Görlitzer bahnhof.

In 1981, it was renovated.
