Prinzenstraße (Berlin U-Bahn)
- Prinzenstraße (Berlin U-Bahn)
Prinzenstraße is an Berlin U-Bahn station located on the rail text color|system=BVG|line=U1.
It is located roughly where the eponymous street crosses the Landwehrkanal in Kreuzberg. The nearby "Böcklerpark", a small park with a hall where music events are often held, and the "Sommerbad Kreuzberg" swimming pool, coloquially called "Prinzenbad", are among the most popular venues in central Kreuzberg. The street and subsequent the station were named after Prince William I, the later German Emperor.
The station on the first Berlin U-Bahn line from Potsdamer Platz to Stralauer Tor was opened on February 18, 1902. Established on a viaduct above the junction of "Prinzenstraße" and "Gitschiner Straße", a street level entrance hall could only be erected on its south side on the grounds of a gas plant, while the stairs to the northern platform had to be included in the opposite residential building.
Destroyed in World War II the station was rebuilt in the 1950s. It again received new entrance halls in a - disputed - Postmodern style in 1984 (north) and 1991 (south). A preserved detail of the old station found at the northern platform is a small sculpture of a frog with a crown and a ball, alluding to the Frog Prince fairy tale.
