Grenzallee (Berlin U-Bahn)
Grenzallee is a station on the Berlin U-Bahn line U7. It is located on Buschkrugallee, Neukölln, spanning the junctions with Grenzallee and the A100 motorway. The station was opened in 1930 and built by Alfred Grenander.
History
[edit]When the station opened in 1930 it was the last passenger station on Line CI, which was first extended to the south in 1963.[1]
The station was not initially directly affected by the Second World War. However, it was out of operation for a period from 1944 to 1945, when the Berliner Verkehrsbetriebe (BVG) shortened the route of Line C to terminate at Bergstraße (now Karl-Marx-Straße), renting the tunnel and two stations to the south for use by the arms company Henschel-Flugwerke.
