Here's a look inside Krumme Lanke station. It's the terminus on the southern end of the line, just after Oncle Toms Hütte that I showed you yesterday. This station is also part of the original line which opened in 1929, although it had to be rebuilt in 1989 as it was in poor condition. However, it was done in the same style as the original. Like yesterday's station, I think it looks rather modern. But I guess some things are timeless - like fantastic windows that let in lots of light!
Here's a quick look at the station from outside. It was designed by architect Alfred Grenander who is also known for his work on the London Underground. This is the end of my tour through Line 3 for now, but there are many other nice stations on the line that I'm sure will be featured at some other time.
i like the retro feel!

ReplyDeleteThe windows letting in the light really makes the whole station work so well.
ReplyDeleteAgain, the place is nice and clean and I like the modern lines. Also love those "skylights"! And the green!
ReplyDeleteYou are right - good design is timeless!
ReplyDeleteMy favourite colour is green, and I love retro, so I really like this!
ReplyDeleteVery modern stations! Watched the German vs. Ghana game yesterday; certainly was exciting!
ReplyDeleteI am excited to see how tonight's game Portugal vs. USA goes. That should be fun!
DeleteEinfach schön!
ReplyDeleteVery nice and simple architecture, which is the kind I like more...
ReplyDeleteThanks for showing.
ReplyDeleteThe first shot makes me think the visitor is going into an underground swimming pool.
ReplyDeleteLove the green!
