U5 is a line on the Berlin U-Bahn. It runs from Alexanderplatz in Mitte eastwards through Friedrichshain, Lichtenberg and Friedrichsfelde, surfaces in to pass Kaulsdorf and Hellersdorf above ground and finally reaches city limits at Hönow. U5 at present only connects to other U-bahn lines at its Alexanderplatz terminus, although work is ongoing to extend it across central Berlin to Berlin Hauptbahnhof, providing further U-Bahn and S-Bahn interchanges. ==History== Only in 1927 did construction start on Pre WWI era for a rapid transit line underneath ''Große Frankfurter Straße'' (the present-day Karl-Marx-Allee). The design was planned and led by Johannes Bousset. The first section between Alexanderplatz and Friedrichsfelde, then named line E, was inaugurated on 21 December 1930 (However, it is not shown on the Pharus-Plan 1930 map). During the time when Berlin was divided, the U5 was the only line to fall entirely within East Berlin, and the only line to be actively extended by the East German authorities. Work on this extension was started in September 1969. On 6 June 1973, the first extension was opened, to Tierpark station, serving the Tierpark zoo. The final extension, partly over the route of an abandoned section of the VnK Railway, to the developing areas in the boroughs of Marzahn and Hellersdorf, went into service on 1 July 1988 (Elsterwerdaer Platz) and 1 July 1989 (Hönow). Most of the stations that were built are those from the developers of Docklands Light Railway, Neuperlach Süd station of the Munich U-Bahn and the Konstablerwache station of the Frankfurt U-Bahn. For the remaining section, starting from Wuhletal where it connects to the S-Bahn, then Kaulsdorf-Nord, Neue Grottkauer Straße, Cottbusser Platz, Hellersdorf, Louis-Lewin-Straße and Hönow. The last two stations, Louis-Lewin-Straße and Hönow were originally in the Frankfurt (Oder) territory. It was subsumed into the Berlin territory since 3 October 1990. After the unification of East and West Berlin on 1 July 1990 the line was renumbered as U5. The stations have been refurbished since January 2003, which is due to the bullet-riddled holes as it is due to the WWII fighting combat, and was completed on 21 December 2004. It disrupted services between Alexanderplatz and Friedrichsfelde. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「U5 (Berlin U-Bahn)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
