The striking tower at the entrance and the elevated railway stop, designed by Emil Schaudt, were torn down during construction of the ''City-S-Bahn''. The new entrance with a copper roof (designed by Hans L. M. Loop and Fritz Trautwein) is connected to the ferry piers by a pedestrian bridge. The eastern entrance was designed by Walter Puritz and was built in the 1920s.
