Schaltwerk Halensee, Rail transport electrical substation in Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf, Germany.
The Schaltwerk Halensee facility contains two parallel buildings connected by an octagonal central structure that houses vital control rooms for railway operations.
Construction of the Schaltwerk Halensee began in 1927 under architect Richard Brademann to supply electrical energy for the Berlin S-Bahn network's expansion.
The building demonstrates industrial architecture with geometric forms, symmetrical layouts, and multi-colored brickwork that characterizes Berlin's transportation infrastructure.
The substation manages transformation and distribution of electricity for approximately 350 kilometers of S-Bahn lines through modern digital control systems.
This facility maintains its original function while holding protected monument status, combining active infrastructure operations with historical preservation requirements.
