Page "Potsdamer Platz" Paragraph 25

In later years Potsdamer Platz was served by both of Berlin's two local rail systems.

The U-Bahn arrived first, from the south ; begun on 10 September 1896, it opened on 18 February 1902, with a new and better sited station being provided on 29 September 1907, and the line itself being extended north and east on 1 October 1908.

In 1939 the S-Bahn followed, its North-South Link between Unter den Linden and Yorckstraße opening in stages during the year, the Potsdamer Platz S-Bahn station itself opening on 15 April.
