The Berlin metro line 4 ( U-railway line 4 or U4 ) is one of the nine lines of the Berlin metro. Only 2.86 long km , she serves the Schöneberg district and connects the stations Nollendorfplatz And Innsbrucker Platz .
Opened in 1910 as a local line serving the city of Schönberg, the line has never experienced a change in its career. It is historically considered as a branch of line B (current U1 line) before taking its current name in 1966.
The Schöneberg municipal metro [ modifier | Modifier and code ]
In line with the city of Berlin, the commune of Schöneberg began in 1903 to study its own service by the metro. Discussions are undertaken with the Elaborate , but these fail reason for the low attractiveness of such a project. The city therefore decides to make the line at its expense, which makes it the first municipal metro in Germany.
The projected line connects the station Nollendorfplatz , where she is in correspondence with the Elevator of the Berlin metro, at the station Main road (Today Insbrucker Platz ). It has no physical connection with the Berlin metro and therefore has a clean workshop after the terminus Main road . With a view to a future connection with the Berlin metro, the line however has technical characteristics similar to those in force on the Hochbahn, with equipment provided by Siemens & Halske . The first hit takes place the .
The construction of the line is accompanied by the construction of the current Rudolph-Wilde-Park , which partially reuses the cuttings extracted from the site. The work is carried out in two years, and the opening of the line takes place the . However, the festivities are reduced due to death, a month earlier by Rudolph Wilde, mayor of Schöneberg and the main promoter of the metro. The exploitation of the Schöneberg metro is entrusted to the Elaborate .
Berlin metro integration [ modifier | Modifier and code ]
In 1920, the commune of Schöneberg disappeared with the creation of the Grand Berlin. At the same time, Decision is made to finally integrate the line into the Berlin metro. Thanks to the construction of a new section between Nollendorfplatz and Gleisdreick allowing to separate lines A and B (today U2 and U1), the Nollendorfplatz station is moved and reconstructed with two bunk levels which facilitate correspondence. The Schöneberg line then becomes a branch of line B, the trains continuing their journey on the Elevator to the station Kottbusser Tor Or Warschauerstrasse . This new exploitation came into force in 1926. The workshop of the HauptStraße station then became useless, which led to its closure in 1932. The station has since been in Cul-de-Sac.
In 1961, the line was again limited to Nollendorfplatz due to the construction of the Berlin Wall, which limits the Elevator To Schlesichen To R and makes its service by line B amply sufficient. In 1966, the Berlin-West metro adopted a digital system and the line was called U4. In 2010, for the centenary of the line, the BVG circulated a historic train there in traveler service for a day.
The line, confined to the city center, crosses the Schöneberg district from north to south. With a length of 2.86 km Only and only five stations, it is the shortest line in the Berlin metro. His journey is fully underground. The line has connections with the U1 and U3 lines at the station Nollendorfplatz , which allow trains to win the maintenance workshop.
The U4 line, like the U1, U2 and U3 lines, is part of the network with small size ( small profile ) which is used with trains of 2.30 m wide.
- To lighten the table, only correspondence with guided transport (metros, trains, trams, …) and correspondence in close relation to the line are given. The other correspondence, especially the bus lines, are included in the items of each station.
