Humboldt substation, Cultural heritage electrical substation in Prenzlauer Berg, Germany

The Humboldt substation features four symmetrical wings with a central switching hall designed in a basilica-style architecture on the south side.

Built between 1925 and 1926 by architect Hans Heinrich Müller, this substation served as a vital power distribution center for Berlin's expanding electrical network.

The substation represents early 20th-century industrial engineering, transforming 30,000-volt three-phase current to 6,000 volts for industrial consumers.

Located at Kopenhagener Strasse 58-63 in Berlin, the substation is accessible via S-Bahn lines S41, S42, S8, S85, U2, and tram M1.

After its decommissioning in 1993, the substation underwent renovation in 2007 and now houses various companies, including the online booking platform GetYourGuide.
