U12 (Berlin U-Bahn)
The U12 is a former Berlin U-Bahn line. It existed between 1993 and June 2003, as a peak-time and night line between Ruhleben (today U2) and Warschauer Straße (today U1) stations. The line was withdrawn in June 2003 and more night-time lines were introduced, which is U1, U2, U3 (from 2006), U5, U6, U7, U8 and U9. On 22 June 2020, the U12 line was reinstated due to maintenance repairs of the U1, U2 and U3. The U12 runs between Kottbusser Tor (via Wittenbergplatz) to Ruhleben station. It is expected to run until 9 August 2020. Route From November 1956, no trains ran through from Pankow to Ruhleben, as the line AI was shortened to today's Theodor-Heuss-Platz and a new line designated ABI was implemented, which in May 1957 had been called line BI. This changed from Ruhleben coming behind Wittenbergplatz station on the relief route in the direction of Warschauer Brücke. In 1966, this became the well-known line 1, after which the eponymous musical is named and whose plot plays on ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

The station consists of a 360 meter long and 26 meter wide brick viaduct. The station was closed at the end of World War II and did not open again until 14 October 1945. Since the U-Bahn station is the only station of the U1 located in the eastern part of the city, it was closed again in 1961 due to the construction of the Berlin Wall.Dr. Hans-Ulrich Stockhorst: U-Bahnhof Warschauer Straße vor und nach dem Mauerbau.

Railway Lines Closed In 2003
Rail transport (also known as train transport) is a means of transport that transfers passengers and goods on wheeled vehicles running on rails, which are incorporated in Track (rail transport), tracks. In contrast to road transport, where the vehicles run on a prepared flat surface, rail vehicles (rolling stock) are directionally guided by the tracks on which they run. Tracks usually consist of steel rails, installed on Railroad tie, sleepers (ties) set in track ballast, ballast, on which the rolling stock, usually fitted with metal wheels, moves. Other variations are also possible, such as "slab track", in which the rails are fastened to a concrete foundation resting on a prepared subsurface. Rolling stock in a rail transport system generally encounters lower friction, frictional resistance than rubber-tyred road vehicles, so passenger and freight cars (carriages and wagons) can be coupled into longer trains. The rail transport operations, operation is carried out by a ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Ruhleben (Berlin U-Bahn)
Ruhleben is a Berlin U-Bahn station, the western terminus of line U2. Named after the adjacent ''Ruhleben'' neighbourhood, it is located in the Westend district close to the border with Spandau.

The tracks end immediately behind the platform without any reversing facility. Plans to extend the U2 toward Spandau were cancelled during the Great Depression and never carried out; they became obsolete after the construction of the U7 to Rathaus Spandau in 1984 and the re-opening of the Spandau Suburban Line of the Berlin S-Bahn The Berlin S-Bahn () is a rapid transit railway system in and around Berlin, the capital city of Germany.

Subsequent to Berlin's successful application for the 1936 Summer Olympics, the renowned U-Bahn architect Alfred Grenander redesigned the building and the station was named ''Reichssportfeld''. On 15 February 1944, it was directly hit by the air raids. From 1950 on, the station was called ''Olympia-S ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
