Berlin S-Bahn station Humboldthain (1934)

A complex construction had to be carried out on the railway line, which is much lower than street level. The heptagonal entrance building, which is very well lit inside during the day, is connected with the footbridge, leading over the tracks. A stairway leads to the platform. The clinker bricks on the outside of the bridge are original. The entrance building was also cladded with clinker bricks, but after the war it was decided to add plaster to it.

The Berlin S-Bahn was founded in 1930 as the successor of the Berlin Stadtbahn and Ringbahn. They used railway tracks and planned many new stations. This station was built in 1934 and 1935 for the new North-South-line.

The architect Brademann was a convinced Nazi at the time of construction. However, this cannot be seen in this building. His station buildings from before 1932, when he was not yet a party member, reveal a similar handwriting. In addition, no special elements were attached to this building that could be interpreted politically.

The station is listed.
