West Berlin, Germany in 1989, shortly before the fall of the Iron Curtain of communism. We first see Friedrichstrasse station, the rail interchange between West & East Berlin.
@ 1:00 we depart Gesundbrunnen on S-Bahn line 2 to Wollankstrasse, running beside the Berlin Wall from 2:13.
From 3:30 can be seen the multi-coloured apartment blocks of East Berlin, reminding us that communism was not always drab and grey!
@ 4:26 Frohnau, the then northern terminus of the line.
@ 5:23 Adenaurplatz U-Bahn, then
@ 6:33 Westkreuz, including
@ 7:22 the disused ring-bahn high level platforms there, which are now re-opened(?).
@ 7:42 Wittenberg U-Bahn with a gift of a roundel sign from London Transport @ 8:44.
@ 9:28 we take a short antique tram ride from Nollendorf to Mockernbrucke, then
@ 12:22 a street view of Charlottenburg S-Bahn station &
@ 14:09 Savignyplatz.
