Berlin, Germany

Chauseestrasse  : Closed on 26th August 2013 : photographed in 1983 and 2005

This short branch was a hangover from the earlier division of Berlin, running north from Invalidenstrasse to close to the sector boundary at what was formerly the Stadion der Weltjugend. Although not replaced by a tram service, the route followed the U-Bahn, stations of which were reopened for use after the reunification of Berlin

Above : The photo shows a tram at Zinnowitzer Strasse tram stop in 1983 whilst this part of the city was in the eastern sector. The view is northwards along Chausseestrasse from the junction with Invalidenstrasse where tram stops are now called Naturkundenmuseum. The tram (Tatra KT4D type) sits alongside the closed off entrances to the Zinnowitzer Strasse U-Bahn station which ran without stopping in East Berlin, with the exception of the Friedrichstrasse checkpoint for visitors from West Berlin in its journey from northern parts of West Berlin to southern parts. The closure came in association with the extension of the tramway to the left of the photo along Invalidenstrasse to the new Berlin Hauptbahnhof (crossing the line of the former Berlin Wall) shortly afterwards.
