Möckernbrücke is a station of the Berlin U-Bahn network in the western Kreuzberg district, named after a nearby bridge crossing the Landwehrkanal. It is on the U1 and on U7 lines, in the vicinity of Potsdamer Platz.

Overview

Platform of the U1
Platform of the U7

The station located on a viaduct at the northern shore of the Landwehrkanal is part of the first Stammstrecke route of the Berlin U-Bahn opened on February 15, 1902. As the station also served the nearby Anhalter Bahnhof the original building was soon getting too small to cope with the rising number of passengers. It therefore was demolished and replaced by the current station opened on March 25, 1937. Severely damaged by air raids it was closed on January 30, 1944 and not reopened until June 16, 1947.

In the course of the extension of the U7 line from Mehringdamm to the west a twin underground station was built at the southern shore of the Landwehrkanal. The U7 platform opened on February 28, 1966 (architect Rümmler) [1] Möckernbrücke became the line's western terminus until the second continuation to Fehrbelliner Platz on January 29, 1971. The U1 and U7 platforms are connected by a glazed bridge over the Landwehr Canal. U1: The next station is Hallesches Tor (change here for U6) or Gleisdreieck (change here for U2) U7:The next station is Yorckstraße (change here for S-Bahn) or Mehringdamm (change here for U6)
