Berlin Wuhletal station
Wuhletal is a railway station in the Kaulsdorf district of the Marzahn-Hellersdorf borough of Berlin. It is served by the S-Bahn line and the U-Bahn line.
The station consists of two island platforms paired by direction, with the S-Bahn serving the outer faces of each platform and the U-Bahn the inner faces of the same platforms. This makes interchange between the two modes very easy and is a unique situation in Berlin. At in length, the platforms are the longest in the Berlin U-Bahn network.
Etymology
The Wuhletal is a green corridor in the northeastern Berlin district of Marzahn-Hellersdorf on the river Wuhle, from which it also has its name. The park was established after the decommissioning of the Falkenberg sewage treatment plant from 2002, which had previously used the Wuhle as receiving water. The closure of the sewage treatment plant was considered critical by environmentalists because of the expected fall in the groundwater level in the landscape park area.The Wuhletalwächter is a six-sided, 15.5 meter high concrete climbing tower with about 500 m2 climbing area and a boulder wall around the climbing tower, located at the northern end of the Wuhletal. The AlpinClub Berlin, a section of the German Alpine Club, exercises its house right here.
At the merger of Marzahn and Hellersdorf, "Wuhletal" was at times discussed as the district name. This name is used by the district associations of parties and sub-organizations that supported this proposal for the district.
