U-Bahn Museum

The Berlin subway is nowadays simply a means of transportation for most, in which it is usually much too noisy, too crowded and too musty. However, if you dare to take a look behind the scenes, you can discover some amazing things – in our BVG U-Bahn Museum.

Since 1997, the U-Bahn Museum has been located in the former Olympic Stadium signal box. There it offers locals and tourists alike an exciting insight into more than 100 years of Berlin subway history: historical service uniforms, ticket vending machines, and a train dispatcher's service room from the 1950s are just a few examples. Furthermore, those who are more interested in the technology of subway operation will also get their money's worth. In addition to various types of signal boxes, there is also a historic clock station, train radios, a diagnostic computer and a signal block from 1931, among other things. All of the technical equipment in the museum is still in working order and invites visitors to be amazed.
