Onkel Toms Hütte (Berlin U-Bahn)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Onkel Toms Hütte (English "Uncle Tom's Cabin") is a Berlin U-Bahn station located on the U3.

The station and surrounding area were named after Harriet Beecher Stowe's antislavery novel Uncle Tom's Cabin. A local bar named "Thomas's" had set up several huts in its beer garden that were referred to as "Tom's Cabins;" the name came to remind many of the book. Over the years a nearby cinema and street took on the name as well; the bar was demolished in the 1970s.
