Today I present another film from Berlin, featuring one of the oldest U-Bahn lines of the city: U1. This line, opened in 1902, is essentially divided into two sections. The eastern part from Warschauer Straße to Gleisdreieck is constructed on an elevated viaduct; on the other hand, the western part from Gleisdreieck to Uhlandstraße is a classical underground line built with the cut & cover method.
This film mostly follows the elevated part of the line from east to west and shows Schlesisches Tor, Görlitzer Bahnhof, Prinzenstraße and Möckernbrücke stations, which all have interesting station buildings and roof architectures.
The first underground station of the line is Kurfürstenstraße, also shown in the film, which is very unassuming and exhibits the typical cut & cover architecture with a centre row of columns to support the street above it.
The final station shown in the film is Uhlandstraße, the western terminus of the line.
On the day of filming there were still quite many GI (Gisela) stock trains in service. These boxy trains were built in former East Germany and have a characteristic high-pitch traction sound.
Enjoy!
