Popular underground station on the U2 line on Eberswalde Strasse by Silva Wischeropp

This colourful, urban image motif shows the popular and famous Eberswalder Strasse stop of the underground station of the U2 line in the Berlin district of Pankow. The photo was taken on 18 August 2023 in the early midday hours. The right window section and view of the Berlin TV tower and the church creates an exciting curiosity to get to know the big city metropolis and its centre at Alexanderplatz.
The Eberswalder Straße underground station is an elevated station on the U2 underground line in the Prenzlauer Berg district of Berlin's Pankow district. It is located on Schönhauser Allee just past the intersection of Eberswalder/Danziger Straße and Kastanien-/Pappelallee. The station, opened by the Hochbahngesellschaft under the name Danziger Straße on 27 July 1913, was called Dimitroffstraße from 1950 to 1990.
The station is located on the central reservation of Schönhauser Allee and has a central platform with two exits. Of the 110-metre-long platform, the southern half is covered with a hall, and later the northern end was also covered with a single-support roof structure.
The hall was built in riveted steel construction and is green in colour. The Nordring station (today: Schönhauser Allee), the second station on the elevated line, has an almost identical structure.
The clear, graphic implementation lends the image motif an elegant, timeless pictorial character and thus fits perfectly into living and working spaces.

"The photographic image process represents my personal work and creation area. This means dealing with image worlds, politics, human needs and sensitivities. The camera expands my scope to meet that other reality. Photography makes me happy, creates joy, closes boundaries, opens new doors, widens horizons. The camera teaches me to see, to sharpen the view, to capture moments, to perceive fleeting moments that are not visible to others. I am a creative person, a picture-maker, who draws on herself, does not copy a lot and develops her own imagery. So I move between the poles, reach different fixed points, look behind the scenes. Out of the thousandfold existing I manage to bring out something unique, unique moments of the picture."
