Neue Grottkauer Straße (Berlin U-Bahn)

Platform view

Neue Grottkauer Straße (also spelled Neue Grottkauer Strasse) is an underground railway station in the German capital city of Berlin. This Berlin U-Bahn station is located on the U5.

The station opened in July 1989, just a few months before the fall of the Berlin Wall. The eastern extension of (what is now) line U5 was one of the last major construction projects of the former German Democratic Republic. The planned name of the station was Kaulsdorf-Nordost. However, when it opened the station's name was Heinz-Hoffmann-Str. (general of the GDR army). In 1991 it got the name Grottkauer Strasse, then in 1996 it got the current name.[1]
