Berliner U-Bahn-Linien: U7

Across the West

Summary:
The oldest section of today's U7 line dates back to as early as 1924, when a branch of the former Line C (now U6) toward Neukölln was put into service. This branch was extended to Britz-Süd subway station until 1963, before it finally became the independent Line 7 in 1966. Today, the U7 is the longest of all Berlin subway lines at 32 km. It runs entirely underground and only through districts of the former West Berlin. This book tells all the details about the planning, construction and operation of the U7 with detailed descriptions of all 40 subway stations, illustrated with numerous historical and current photos. The volume on the U7 is the fourth in our series; volumes on the U5, U6 and U9 have already been published.
