Depots on the Berlin U-Bahn

Depots on the Berlin U-Bahn are split, just like its trains, into two profiles: the wider Großprofil and the larger Kleinprofil.

Service depots only handle minor repairs and maintenance like changing the windows or removing graffiti.

The depot, which opened on January 21, 1913, is directly adjacent to the overground U-Bahn station Olympia-Stadion.

In World War II, a large part of the complex burned down following an air raid on September 3, 1943.

Because space is limited and the complex cannot be expanded due to its location in the inner city, it is planned to tear down parts of the workshop.

Alongside the construction of the Berlin U-Bahn line E (now U5), the service depot Friedrichsfelde was built from 1927 to 1930.
