Grenzallee is a Berlin U-Bahn station located on the U7.
History
This station was opened in 1930 and built by Alfred Grenander.
A few years later, the Second World War began in 1939, which initially had no direct impact on the station. Only from 1944, the BVG shortened the operation of the line C to Bergstraße, as the tunnel south of the station, including the stations Neukölln and Grenzallee, the arms company Henschel-Flugwerke for monthly 40,000 marks [4] (purchasing power adjusted in today's currency: around 149,200 euros) was made available. However, this foreign use soon became unnecessary due to the ongoing war.
It was the end of the Line C I until 1963.[1]
