U55 is a Berlin U-Bahn line that is currently under construction. The Berlin de U-Bahn (de Untergrundbahn underground railway is a major part of the Public transport system of the German capital Berlin. When completed, it will be very short (only three stations) and will not connect to any other U-Bahn line. It was constructed as part of an extension of the U5 that was postponed due to financial difficulties. History December 21, 1930: Alexanderplatz - Friedrichsfelde June 6, 1973: Friedrichsfelde - Tierpark As much of the work on this section of the extension had been completed, it was decided to complete it and open the section as a short shuttle line using a single train, to be joined to the U5 at a later date.
The unusual nature of U55 is a result of Berlin's troubled finances. When the German government decided to move from Bonn to Berlin after German reunification, it was decided to refurbish the area around the Reichstag into a modern government complex. Germany, officially the Federal Republic of Germany ( ˈbʊndəsʁepuˌbliːk ˈdɔʏtʃlant is a Country in Central Europe. Bonn is the 19th largest city in Germany. Located about 20 kilometres south of Cologne on the river Rhine in the Federal State of North Rhine-Westphalia Berlin is the capital city and one of sixteen states of Germany. German reunification (Deutsche Wiedervereinigung took place twice after 1945 first in 1957 the Saarland was permitted to join the Federal Republic of Germany The Reichstag building in Berlin was constructed to house the Reichstag, the first Parliament of the German Empire. As part of this effort, there were plans to extend line U5 from its current western terminus at Alexanderplatz through the city centre, past the Brandenburg Gate and the Reichstag, to the new central train station, Berlin Hauptbahnhof. History December 21, 1930: Alexanderplatz - Friedrichsfelde June 6, 1973: Friedrichsfelde - Tierpark is a large open square and public transport hub in the Berlin district of Mitte in the city centre near the river Spree and the Berliner Dom The Brandenburg Gate (Brandenburger Tor is a former City gate and one of the main symbols of Berlin and Germany. or Berlin Central Station, is the main Railway station in Berlin, Germany and the largest crossing station in Europe. This Kanzlerlinie (Chancellor Line), so nicknamed because it passed through the government quarter, was originally planned as a diagonal line through central Berlin, continuing to Turmstraße in Moabit, where it would link with the U9, and on to Jungfernheide, where it would connect with the S-Bahn ring and U7, and possibly continue to Berlin-Tegel airport, or if this is closed as planned, to the new neighbourhoods to be built in its place. Moabit is an Inner city locality of Berlin. Since Berlin's 2001 administrative reform it belongs to the newly regrouped governmental borough Jungfernheide is a station in the Charlottenburg district of Berlin, served by Regional-Express line RE4 the S-Bahn lines and and the The Berlin S-Bahn is a Rapid transit system operated by S-Bahn Berlin GmbH, a subsidiary of the Deutsche Bahn. Route Starting in Rudow at the junction of Gross-Ziethener Chaussee and Neuköllner Straße the U7 runs northwest below the road Alt-Rudow before bearing west under Gropiusstadt Tegel is a locality in the Berlin borough of Reinickendorf at the shore of the Lake Tegel. As this was a long-planned route, short tunnels exist at both Jungfernheide and Turmstraße to accommodate the new line. However, these plans were cut back for financial reasons before construction began, and the line was planned instead to terminate at the Hauptbahnhof, with the route to Jungfernheide to be built at an unspecified later date.
In the late 1990s, construction began on the western end of this extension. The 1990s collectively refers to the years between and including 1990 and 1999 However, around that time the city council suffered a major financial crisis, and in 1999 completion of the partially built extension was postponed indefinitely. Year 1999 ( MCMXCIX) was a Common year starting on Friday (link will display full 1999 Gregorian calendar)
However, the city had accepted money from the German federal government for the construction work already finished, and by the terms of the agreement, the city would have had to return the money if there were no operating trains on the line. In 2004, the city and federal governments reached a compromise: the city would complete the short section of line that was largely complete between Berlin Hauptbahnhof and Unter den Linden S-Bahn stations and run it as a single-track shuttle with a single train, without any signaling. "MMIV" redirects here For the Modest Mouse album see " Baron von Bullshit Rides Again " Unter den Linden ("under the linden trees" is a Boulevard in the centre of Berlin, the capital of Germany. The Berlin S-Bahn is a Rapid transit system operated by S-Bahn Berlin GmbH, a subsidiary of the Deutsche Bahn. Although transit planners do not project that such a shuttle will attract a significant ridership, the city determined that the cost of building and operating the line would be less than the cost of returning the money to the federal government.
Service between Berlin Hauptbahnhof and Brandenburger Tor has been delayed until late 2007 owing to extreme groundwater problems at the site of the latter new station. Year 2007 ( MMVII) was a Common year starting on Monday of the Gregorian calendar in the 21st century. The designation of the line as U55 indicates that it is ultimately intended to connect this extension to U5. Work linking the two must begin by 2010 or subsidy from the federal government will be withdrawn; at the moment, 2009 is the target for the beginning of construction of this section.
Because the U55 is not physically connected to the rest of the U-Bahn system, any trains being delivered to the new line will need to be towed along mainline or S-Bahn tracks to reach a connecting tunnel near Hauptbahnhof. This article has been partially translated from the German Wikipedia article
