U6 (Berlin U-Bahn)

U6 is a 19.9 km-long line on the Berlin U-Bahn with 29 stations. It belongs to the "Grossprofilnetz", that is larger profile rail vehicles run through its larger tunnels. It runs in north-south (and was originally known as the north-south line) from Tegel via Straßenzug Müllerstraße – Chausseestraße – Friedrichstraße - Mehringdamm - Tempelhofer Damm to Mariendorf.

Route

Beginning in central Tegel U6 runs south to Borsigwerke station beside the Berliner Straße. Just after the station the U6 surfaces and runs on an embankment beside the Seidelstrasse and the Scharnweberstraße. Just after Scharnweberstraße station it goes into a tunnel and continues under "Müllerstraße", "Chausseestrasse" and "Friedrichstrasse", which are in line with each other. After, "Mehringplatz" U6 runs under the Landwehrkanal and swings to the "Mehringdamm" and continues south under it, although this street changes its name to "Straße Tempelhofer Damm" at "Platz der Luftbrücke" and to "Mariendorfer Damm" after crossing the Teltowkanal. The U6 crosses the canal on a bridge, which hangs below the road bridge. The line ends at the intersection of Reisseckstrasse, Friedenstrasse and Mariendorfer Damm.
