Old, former and abandoned tram depot in the Berlin district of Pankow. This picture was taken with the Nikon D90.
The Niederschönhausen (Nie) depot is located on Dietzgenstraße in Berlin-Niederschönhausen. The facility was opened as yard 3 of the Große Berliner Straßenbahn and is currently used by the Berliner Verkehrsbetriebe. In addition, the Denkmalpflege-Verein Nahverkehr Berlin housed its stock of historic Berlin tram vehicles in the depot until January 2016. The complex was built in 1901 and extended in 1924 according to designs by Jean Krämer.
It is a listed building.
The depot is located at the intersection of Dietzgenstraße and Schillerstraße. A spur branches off to the east into Schillerstraße. The yard comprises two wagon halls with 19 and seven sidings respectively, adjoining an assembly hall and various operating rooms. The four-storey administration building is located at the northern edge of the premises on Dietzgenstraße. Adjacent to it along the northern boundary of the yard are rooms for staff, toilets and the company doctor.
