Berlin Alexanderplatz station, Railway station in Mitte, Germany
Berlin Alexanderplatz station is a large transport hub in Mitte that sits at the same location as the Television Tower and World Clock. The building connects regional trains, commuter lines, underground trains, trams, and buses under one facility.
The station opened in 1882 as part of the Stadtbahn, a viaduct structure linking different parts of the city. After major damage during the war, it was later rebuilt and continued to change with the city.
The station shapes Berlin's sense of itself as a meeting place and transport hub for over a century. People from across the city encounter each other here daily, making it a location central to the city's identity.
The facility is centrally located and easy to reach on foot, with signage for all transport types. Visitors should expect large crowds, especially during morning and evening rush hours.
During Berlin's division, one of the underground lines operated as a ghost station for years without public access. Full functionality only returned after reunification, fundamentally reshaping the network.
