Heinrich-Heine-Straße (Berlin U-Bahn)

Heinrich-Heine-Straße is a Berlin U-Bahn station on the U8, located under the street of the same name in Mitte, and protected as an architectural landmark.

After the City of Berlin took over the incomplete GN-Bahn (Gesundbrunnen - Neukölln Railway) line from the AEG subsidiary which was unable to complete it in the aftermath of World War I, the Neanderstraße station was built in 1926–28 and opened on 6 April 1928.

[2] Alfred Grenander designed the station in his characteristic sparse New Objectivist style and chose pale violet or aubergine (similar to Kottbusser Tor[1]) as the distinguishing colour for the wall tiles and the tiled central pillars on the platform level.

East Berlin U-Bahn stairway enclosures were built in early 1990 for the entrances from the street.

[8] Because of the long closure, the station retains much of its original appearance: 3 platform kiosks, direction indicators, nameplates (black with white lettering on this line; Grenander believed this made them easier to read[1]), wooden poster frames, and wrought iron exit gates.
