Wittenbergplatz : U-Bahn Bahnhofshalle - station ticket hall : in : Gebrauchsgraphik : Verkehrs Reklame - travel/transport advertising : Jahr. 3, Heft 9 : edit; Prof. H.k. Frenzel : Phönix Illustrationsdruck und Verlag G.m.b.H. : Berlin : 1927

            From the third year of publication, 1927, an issue of the German advertising and design magazine "Gebrauchsgraphik" devoted to Verkehrs Reklame" or travel and transport advertising. The main article, by J.C.S. Lore, is on "Die reklame auf den Hoch- und Untergrund-Bahnen Berlins" or advertising on the 'Elevated' and 'Underground' Railways of Berlin.

The article includes this marvellous rendering of the surface ticket hall and entrance building at Wittenbergplatz. The original station opened as part of Berlin's first Underground line on 11 March 1902 and originally had one of the 'standard' surface subway entrances. However the station underwent major reconstruction as part of the development of the system that saw Wittenbergplatz expanded to have new island platforms serving additional lines in 1910 - 1912. The splendidly ornate surface building seen here and that serves the station was designed by the U-Bahn's architect Alfred Grenander and completed in 1913.

Although badly damaged in the Second World War the station was reconstructed in much the original style and today looks remarkably similar with the ornate ceramic tile interior along with the advertising panels.
