History of Berlin's North-South S-Bahn
Berlin’s only underground S-Bahn line runs along the north-south axis. Fittingly, the S-Bahn Museum’s special exhibition is located underground, in a former restroom facility at the Gesundbrunnen station.

The exhibition features historical films from the construction period and the dramatic division of Berlin up until 1989. Selected models on a scale of 1:87 illustrate the different series of Berlin’s S-Bahn trains.
The guided tour, which begins at the exhibition, takes you on a journey through the history of railways, the city, and the era surrounding Gesundbrunnen Station.
This event is part of the Berlin Industrial Heritage Festival.
