Berlin Julius-Leber-Brücke railway station

Julius-Leber-Brücke is a railway station in the Schöneberg district of Berlin. Located under a bridge named after Resistance fighter Julius Leber, it was officially opened on 2nd May, 2008 and is served by the S-Bahn line rail text color|system=SBB|line=S1.

The station is located at the original site of the historic "Bahnhof Schöneberg", opened in 1881 at the "Stammbahn" railway line from Berlin Potsdamer Bahnhof to Potsdam. In 1932 it received the name "Kolonnenstraße" to distinguish it from the newly erected interchange station Berlin-Schöneberg at the Ringbahn. Heavily damaged by air raids, Bahnhof Kolonnenstraße was closed in 1944 and not reopened after World War II. Plans for a reconstruction existed since the 1980s but were not realized until 2006, when the construction of the new station began.
