Bismarckstrasse (Berlin U-Bahn)


Bismarckstraße is a Berlin U-Bahn station located in the Charlottenburg district on the U 2 and U 7 lines. It was opened in 1978 on the eponymous street, a major arterial road named after Otto von Bismarck.

At the time when the first U-Bahn line (Stammstrecke) opened in 1902, the road was laid out in a lavish boulevard style as the western continuation of Charlottenburger Chaussee (today: Straße des 17. Juni) and part of a direct connection between the Berlin city centre at Brandenburg Gate to the western suburbs of Charlottenburg and Spandau along Kaiserdamm and Heerstraße. On 14 December 1902, Knie station opened at present-day Ernst-Reuter-Platz; the western extension to Bismarckstraße station (today: Deutsche Oper) and the Wilhelmplatz (today: Richard-Wagner-Platz) terminus near Charlottenburg Town Hall was inaugurated on 14 May 1906.
