Vol 2: U7 - Berlijn
 With 31.8 km (19,8 miles) and 40 stations the U7 is not only the longest of all Berlin subway lines but also that line with the most stations and the longest journey time. Built from 1924 to 1984 runs this large profile line completely underground, through a total of 5 districts of the German capital and goes underneath the rivers Spree and Havel as well as the Teltow and the Westhafen canal. HISTORY The history of the subway line U7 actually begins with the construction of a additional track section of the line U6 from 1924 to 1930, which led from the station Mehringdamm to Neukoelln. This little route was later continuously extended in the southerly direction toward Rudow from 1959 to 1972 and in the northwesterly direction from 1966 to 1984 until Rathaus Spandau. All subway lines built from 1923, are known as wide gauge. The wide gauge contains wider tunnels as well as wider, longer and higher subway cars and also the power supply is a different from the narrow gauge. The subway cars obtain the driving current from the live rail and feed back via the driving rail. The live rail is contacted on the lower side. The polarity is negative. (narrow gauge - live rail contacted on the upper side, polarity positive). One thing the wide gauge shares with the narrow gauge: The track is the railway typical "normal track" of 1435 millimetres. HIGHLIGHTS ROUTE Besides being the longest Berlin Subway route it has some more features which are worth mentioning. The underground route is really entertaining and exiting as is has many turns and gradients on offer. Just before the Mehringdamm/Gneisenaustr. crossroads for example it does a very hard left turn in a radius of not even 100 m, one of the most difficult turns in the Berlin Subway system. Impressive 2 level tunnel sections such as in the area of Mehringdamm and Jungfernheide, many chamber locks at the underground sections of the rivers and canals which close rapidly when water comes through, are another feature. The stations architechture holds a lot of varieties, here´s a description of two of them: First we´d like to mention the station Hermannplatz.. Being 7 m high, 132 m long and 22 m wide, its almost a cathedral. The first subway escalators were introduced here in 1926 with another highlight coming three years later. The year 1929 the department store Karstadt opened at Hermannplatz, at this time the most modern store in all of Europe. The Karstadt company paid part of the costs of building tis pompous station and in return got a direct entrance to its store. Even today still almost unique. When designing "Zitadelle", inspiration came purely from the nearby Spandau citadel, one of the most important medieval fortresses of Europe and one of the many touristical attractions of Berlin and the district of Spandau.
