Moritzplatz (Berlin U-Bahn)

Moritzplatz is a Berlin U-Bahn station located on the U8 line.

Peter Behrens constructed this unusual subway station in Berlin in 1928.

During the Second World War, the tunnel was used as an air raid shelter.

Moritzplatz is unusual in that the station was relocated from where it was originally planned.

A large department store, Wertheim, had been located near the planned site since 1913, and gave the subway company 5 million Reichsmark to change their plans and give the store a direct subway connection.
