Berlin Westkreuz station

Berlin Westkreuz station is a three-level interchange serving two major railway lines with six tracks and three platforms. The facility manages passenger flow through its vertical arrangement of traffic areas.

The station was built in the late 1920s according to designs by Richard Brademann and was first named Ausstellung. It received its current name Westkreuz in 1932.

The station building shows the language of Weimar modernism with clean lines and functional elements that remain visible today. Its design reflects the railway culture of that era, where practicality and geometric forms were seen as symbols of progress.

The station sits on multiple levels, so allow time to find connections between the different tracks. Passengers should plan extra time for transfers, especially during rush hours.

The building required special reinforcements due to sandy subsoil to prevent structural cracks from settling. These engineering solutions were necessary to stabilize the station during construction.
