Berlin Stadtbahn, Railway heritage monument in Berlin, Germany
The Berlin Stadtbahn stretches across 12 kilometers through central Berlin, incorporating 731 masonry viaduct arches and connecting 11 passenger stations.
The Prussian state assumed responsibility for constructing the railway in 1878 after initial financial difficulties delayed the project that began in 1875.
The railway line passes near significant cultural sites including Museum Island, Bellevue Palace, and Alexanderplatz, creating a transportation corridor through Berlin's center.
The Stadtbahn functions as a central transportation artery, handling both regional and local train services that connect eastern and western sections of Berlin.
The railway structure combines elevated tracks supported by hundreds of brick arches with ground-level sections, demonstrating 19th-century engineering techniques.
