Berlin Jannowitzbrücke Station (#2523)

Berlin Jannowitzbrücke Station (#2523)
The Jannowitzbrücke Station, a viaduct and S-bahn/U-bahn station on the Spree river next to Jannowitzbrücke (Jannowitz Bridge). The viaduct first opened in 1882 and has gone through many iterations, the station/viaduct visible here is a complete rebuild that occurred between 1927 and 1932. The station/viaduct was largely unharmed by WWII, but while the Wall existed it was a ghost station that West Berlin trains passed through without stopping.

The three buildings over the station are the headquarters of Berliner Verkehrsbetriebe (BVG), which is the public company that operates the transit system. The initials BVG date back to a previous name of the company, but have been kept because they're popular with the public.
