The northernmost part of Köpenicker Straβe, starting from Heinrich-Heine Straβe U-Bahn Station, has received development funding till 2019. Here are some impressions from 2014 and 2015.

So central, so well-connected by public transport, so close to the Spree, such potential. In a few years’ time we won’t remember what it looked like.

Heinrich-Heine Straβe U-Bahn Station is one of the first stations in Berlin, and like many of them, designed by Alfred Grenander. It was one of the ‘Geisterbahnhöfe’ during the cold war and the main entrance levelled with the ground and covered up. I have not been able to find a photo of the main entrance as it looked originally.
