Postbahnhof Luckenwalder Straße

Postbahnhof Luckenwalder Straße is a postal freight railway station in Kreuzberg featuring neo-Gothic red brick architecture with covered loading tracks and separate arrival and departure halls. The complex spreads across multiple structures connected by courtyards that create distinct zones throughout the site.

Architects Hermann Struve and Wilhelm Walter designed this postal freight station between 1907 and 1915 on the site of the former Dresden station. The project reflected Berlin's modernization during the early industrial age.

The building displays early industrial brick architecture and now functions as STATION Berlin for exhibitions and events. Visitors experience how a working structure has transformed into an active cultural space.

The renovated site sits centrally in Berlin and is easy to explore on foot, with the various halls connected by courtyards. The spacious layout works well for longer visits and self-guided exploration at your own pace.

During Germany's division, this postal hub was the sole connection for mail transport between West Berlin and mainland Germany. This critical role made the site an important but overlooked part of post-war Berlin history.
