Betriebshof Britz, Public transport depot in Britz district, Berlin, Germany

The Betriebshof Britz is a bus depot in the Britz district of Berlin that features large halls and open spaces housing buses and service facilities. The site comprises multiple buildings with workshops, fueling stations, and washing bays that continue to serve the city's public transport system today.

The site opened in 1910 as a streetcar depot with on-site housing for workers and supervisors before being redeveloped in the mid-1920s. The current buildings were constructed from 1925 to 1926 in a modern industrial style, transforming the facility to serve bus transportation instead.

The depot's buildings were designed by architect Jean Krämer, who also planned the neighbouring BVG housing estate built in 1928–1930. The whole ensemble, with addresses on Gradestraße, Am Straßenbahnhof, Holzmindener Straße and Wussowstraße, is listed as a cultural monument of Berlin-Britz. The name Britz refers to the surrounding district in Berlin's Neukölln borough.

The depot is best accessed on foot or by bike and sits near public transport stops in the neighborhood. Keep in mind that this is an active work site and access to certain areas may be restricted for safety reasons during daily operations.

From 1971 to 1992, Hall 2 in the east of the depot held the BVG's historical vehicle collection, and it was never open to the public. The depot itself opened in 1910 as a tram yard on plots at Gradestraße 4–7, with staff flats for the station supervisor, a foreman, a vehicle inspector and a wagon master. Trams stopped running here when all West Berlin tram lines closed in 1967.
