History

Unter den Linden station was opened on May 28, 1936 as the southern terminal of the first section of the north-south S-Bahn tunnel from Humboldthain, which was opened on the same day. (The remaining section of the tunnel via Potsdamer Platz and Anhalter Bahnhof was opened in 1939).

Between 1961 and 1989 it was a so-called ghost station: as only West Berlin trains were able to use the tunnel, the station was closed and sealed off. It was reopened in 1990.

Currently construction work is being carried out for the U55 station, to be opened in 2008 or 2009, which is located parallel to, but lower than the S-Bahn station platforms.
