Seestraße (Berlin U-Bahn)
- Seestraße (Berlin U-Bahn)
Seestraße is a station in the Wedding district of Berlin which serves the rail text color|system=BVG|line=U6 and is operated by the BVG. It lies at the busy intersection of Müllerstraße and Seestraße, which are two of Wedding's principle shopping streets and thoroughfares.
Seestraße station first opened on 8 March, 1923 and was at that time the terminus of the newly-built line from Stettiner Bahnhof (now Zinnowitzer Straße). The station consists of two platforms, the more westerly of which is an island platform with two tracks. In normal service, only the two outer tracks are used. The middle track is principally used for access to the large depot located just north of the station, but is also used for service trains which are beginning or terminating in the station.
This unusual arrangement exists because the station was the terminus of the line when it opened. A wall was originally provided between the two platforms but was later removed.
The U-Bahn station was at one time complemented by multiple tram as well as bus lines. The removal of tram lines in West Berlin meant that the last tram ran on 2 October, 1967. However, the line running along the Seestraße was rebuilt and opened again on 25 October, 1997, extended to Virchow-Klinikum. Today the station is served by two tram lines (one of which runs continuously), two bus lines during the day and three lines at night.
