History
It was built by Grenander / Fehse in 1923. Due to a lack of money, the platform was made only 80 metres long. On 7 May 1944, there was a bomb damage in the station area on the ceiling and in the wall area. The station was closed for a few months in 1945, and from 1961 to 1990 it was the last stop in West Berlin. In 1995, the platform was lengthened by 26 metres.[1]

gollark: The postmarketOS page says the display doesn't work or something.
gollark: I mean, I do have an old smartphone which got replaced with an upgraded one by someone else just sitting around too.
gollark: I would get one if I had more money to arbitrarily spend on dubiously useful mobile telephony products.
gollark: Still, at least you can buy pinephones, even if the tradeoffs aren't great.
gollark: The entire mobile market is fairly bee but I think much of this was an inevitable consequence of mass-marketization and vendors' desire for control.
