Volkspark Rehberge

Plötzensee (German: [ˈplœtsənzeː] (listen)) is a small glacial lake in Berlin. It is situated in the former borough of Wedding, now a part of Mitte, adjacent to the public park Volkspark Rehberge. The name stems from Plötze, one name for the roach in German, as the lake formerly teemed with it. Plötzensee is part of a chain of lakes stretching from the northeast to the Spree valley, formed in the last ice age. Until 1443, the nunnery of St. Mary at Spandau had the rights to the lake, but these were eventually assumed by the Prussian treasury. In 1817, the city of Berlin bought the lake and leased the rights to the shoreline and fishing. The first public bath opened about 1850 and over the years, there have been an army sporting ground, a man-made beach (photo), an inn, and the conversion of the shore into a public park in the 1920s. Plötzensee also gives its name to Plötzensee Prison, built nearby in the 19th century, which reached its height of notoriety in the time of Nazi Germany.

Afrikanische Straße is a station in the Wedding district of Berlin which serves the line and is operated by the BVG. The station is located under the Müllerstraße, one of the district's major shopping streets and thoroughfares, but named for another major street nearby. The BVG uses the station under the internal abbreviation Afr; the train station is 631 meters from the Kurt-Schumacher-Platz U-Bahn Station and 587 meters from the Rehberge U-Bahn Station. Originally, the station was not in the plans for the expansion. But the post-war development as well as the Friedrich Ebert settlement built between 1929 and 1931 justified a station. It opened on 3 May 1956, along with the rest of the route between Seestraße and Kurt-Schumacher-Platz. There is a bus depot of the BVG near the station and it is often used by staff for access to the depot. In the course of a basic renovation, the station received new and larger wall tiles in 2016, which are light blue. The former advertising space on the siding walls now carry dark blue bordered African motifs, as well as the departures from the mezzanine floors.

Rehberge is a station in the Wedding district of Berlin which serves the line and is operated by the BVG. The station is named for Volkspark Rehberge, the large public park approximately 500m away, a name which literally translates as '(Roe) Deer Mountains'. The station was opened on 3 May 1956 (designed by B. Grimmek), along with the rest of the route between Seestraße and Kurt-Schumacher-Platz.The subway station Rehberge is part of the so-called "Müllerstraße subway", an extension of the former C-Nord line in the direction of Tegel. The expansion covered around 2.4 kilometers and provided for three stations. Starting point was the subway station Seestraße. For the first time the extension of the line to the north was proposed in April 1929 by Ernst Reuter, the then Berlin City Council for Transport. Already in July 1929, the expansion began, but had to be discontinued in the fall of 1930 because of the triggered by the Great Depression financial crisis in Berlin. After the Second World War, Ernst Reuter, now Governing Mayor of Berlin, proposed the further expansion of the line. In August 1953, the Senate, using the preparatory work of 1929/1930, decided to extend the line to Tegel. On 3 May 1956 the route extension was opened. The architectural design of the stations along the new line was carried out by Senate building director Bruno Grimmek, which was based on older designs by Alfred Grenander for other routes. The platforms were each centrally located, are about eight meters wide and have central supports with hexagonal profile. The subway station Rehberge - originally the names Goethepark and Otawistraße were intended for the station - has a central platform and in the mezzanine a lobby. At both ends of the platforms there are two entrances each. The central supports on the platform have a hexagonal profile. Until the renovation they were covered with yellow (visually similar to the terrazzo) stones, the walls of the subway station with mint green ceramic tiles. The name of the station is in capital letters mounted directly on the tiles of the wall paneling, the lighting - at that time a novelty - was made from the beginning by neon lamps. From autumn 2009 Rehberge underground station was renovated. An elevator has been in operation since 1 December 2010, providing barrier-free access, with costs of around 900,000 euros. The walls were tiled anew with large, light green ceramic tiles. Instead of the advertising space, photos were taken showing the surroundings of the station in earlier times. The pillars received dark green tiles. The vestibules and access buildings were redesigned with green and Rehmotiven. The original asphalt platform pavement was replaced by natural stone slabs and a blind guidance system was installed. Rehberge station is located towards the northern end of the Müllerstraße, one of Wedding's principal shopping streets and thoroughfares. It serves a relatively densely populated area of Berlin.

It is connected to the Spree and Havel rivers via the Westhafen Canal and the Berlin-Spandau Shipping Canal (known as the Hohenzollern Canal) and is thus integrated into the supraregional waterway network between the Elbe and Oder rivers. The Westhafen is a transhipment and storage site for inland shipping with a growing importance. For the onward transport of goods by rail, it is connected to the Berlin ring railroad, the Hamburg and Lehrter freight yards and the Moabit freight yard. Goods are transported in and out by truck via the A 100 city highway. The Westhafen and Beusselstraße train and U-Bahn stations provide public transportation.

On September 3 of the same year, a first section of the harbor was inaugurated. Some of the BEHALA buildings originating from 1920s have later been added to the list of Berlin monuments.
