BERLIN. City Railway. 13
Schlesischer Bahnhof (PL R, 31), Warschauer-Strasse (PL G, 34),
and Stralau-Rummelsburg (PL G, 37, 40).
Suburban Trains of the Stadtbahn. On the S. tracks trains run
(from the chief stations) eastwards to Strausberg (p. 208), with junction
for Riidersdorf (p. 202); westwards to Spandau (p. 200). — On the N.
tracks they run (from all stations) eastwards to Nieder-Sch'dneweide, with
connection to Griinau (p. 203) or Kbnigs-Wusterhausen (p. 202), via
Lichtenberg (p. 168) to Kaulsdorf, and to Erkner (p. 202; junction for
Fiirstenwalde); westwards to Grunewald (p. 184). — Suburban trains also
run from the Potsdam Station via Potsdam to Wildpark or Werder
(comp. p. 199); from the Wannsee Station (PI. G, 19) via Schlachtensee and
Wannsee to Potsdam (comp. p. 186); from the Ring-Bahnhof (PI. G, 19;
to the left behind the Potsdam Station) to Gross-Lichterfelde (p. 185) and
Zossen; from the Stettin Station to Tegel, Oranienburg, and Bernau; and
from the Lehrte Station to Nauen.
Tickets by suburban trains are cheaper than tickets to the same place
by main-line trains. On Sun. afternoons in summer the suburban trains
are usually overcrowded, and in the evening it is almost impossible
to find a place at stations near Berlin in trains returning to the capital.
The Ringbahn consists of the 'Nord-Ring' and the 'Siid-Ring',
both mostly used in connection with the Stadtbahn (stations, see
above), from which they diverge at Stralau-Rummelsburg (PL G,
37, 40; comp. above) and Charlottenburg (PL G, 4). — TherNoRD-
Ring (11 M.) passes the following stations: Frankfurter Allee (P\.
R, 40; p. 168), Zentral - Viehhof (cattle-market; PL R, 38; p. 168),
Landsberger Allee (PL R, 39), Weissensee (PL B, 33, 36; p. 168),
Prenzlauer Allee (PL B, 32), Schonhauser Allee (PL 29; p. 167),
Gesundbrunneu (PL B, 23; p. 167), Wedding (PL B, 17, 20; p. 168),
Putlitz-Strasse (PL B, 15), Beussel-Strasse (PI. B, 12; p. 165),
Jungfernheide (PL R, 3), and Westend (PL R, 2; p. 183). — The
Sud-Ring (1372 M.) stops at the stations of Halensee (PL G, 2;
p. 184), Schmargendorf, Wilmersdorf- Friedenau (pp. 181, 185),
Ebers-Strasse, Schoneberg (PL G, 18; p. 174), Pape-Str., Tempel-
hof (p. 173), Hermann-Strasse, Rixdorf (p. 172), and Treptow
(PI. G,38; p. 170). Carriages are changed at Schoneberg; the trains
proceed or come from the Potsdamer Ring - Bahnhof (PL G, 19;
p. 127).
The Electric Elevated and Underground Railway,
built in 1896-1902 by Siemens & Halske (p. 182) and subsequently
extended, traverses the S. quarters of Berlin from E. to W. The
underground portion begins at the Nollendorf-Platz and runs thence
to the W. to Charlottenburg. From the central junction (see p. 128)
a branch line, descending a steep incline, leads to the underground
platform at the Leipziger-Platz. The stations are: Warschauer-
Brttcke (PL G, 34, close to the Stadtbahn Station, see above), Stra-
lauer Tor (PL G, 34; Oberbaum-Brtlcke, p. 170), Schlesisches Tor
(PL G,34; p. 169), Oranien-Strasse {PL G,31, 31; Gorlitz Station,
p. 169), Kottbuser Tor (PL G, 28, 29), Prinzen-Strasse (PL G,26),
Hallesches Tor (PL G, 23; p. 170), Mockem-Brucke (PL G, 20). —
