Südstern (Berlin U-Bahn)

U-Bahn station Südstern

Südstern is a Berlin U-Bahn station located on the U7.

Opened as "Hasenheide" in 1924 (built by Alfred Grenander), the name changed to "Kaiser-Friedrich-Platz" in 1933 and to "Gardepionierplatz" in 1939. In 1947 the station got the name Südstern. In 1958 the platform was elongated. The next station is Hermannplatz (change here for U8).[1]

From 2010 the station will have additional support features for the blind and partially sighted as well as an elevator.[2]
