Uhlandstraße (Berlin U-Bahn)

Uhlandstraße (Berlin U-Bahn)

The underground station Uhlandstraße is the western terminus of U1 line, which is part of the Berlin U-Bahn network in Germany.

The station opened on October 12, 1913 as the first section of a metro line connecting Wittenbergplatz with Berlin-Halensee railway station which then has never been built. It lies in southeastern Charlottenburg on the Kurfürstendamm boulevard among mundane shopping facilities. The area is somewhat reminiscent of the period of promoterism ("Gründerzeit") and the "Wirtschaftswunder" days of the 1950s. Quiet, green roads with mostly expensive flats determine the reputation as one of the most desirable (albeit unaffordable) living quarters in Berlin, comparable for instance to the area between Westminster and Kensington in London.

In 2005 a second entrance was opened at the eastern end of the station reaching the junction of Kurfürstendamm and Fasanenstraße.
