Warschauer Straße is the eastern terminus station of lines U1 and U3 of the Berlin U-Bahn.
The station was closed at the end of World War II and did not open again until 14 October 1945.
At the same time it was renamed Warschauer Straße in order to create uniformity with the adjacent Berlin S-Bahn station located 150 metres away.
In 2011, Berlin city transport planners excluded such an extension in their development plan.
Three discothèques are located in the basement vaults of the U-Bahn building: The Matrix Club, since 1996, one of the biggest venues in Berlin with up to nine bars and five dancefloors, the Narva Lounge and the Busche.
