History
Savignyplatz station about 1900

The station was built in 1895/1896[4] on typical arches of the Berlin Stadtbahn in the middle of the then new residential area around Savigny Platz (named after the jurist Friedrich Carl von Savigny) between the stations of Zoologischer Garten (Zoo) and Charlottenburg. The opening took place on 1 August 1896.[5]

In 1934, the station’s two stairwells with their nameplates and the entrance rooms were modernised. At the same time the railway arches in this area were given a dark brick facade.

Between 1986 and 1989, the section between Zoo and Savigny Platz was extensively renovated and the superstructure was completely rebuilt. The platforms and entrance structures were largely rebuilt on the historical design. Since then a 100-metre-long gallery, called Weltenbaum II ("World Tree II"), has been located on the firewall of the western platform. This gallery was created under the guidance of the artist Ben Wagin as a warning against the destruction of the environment. 18 different artists, among them Joseph Beuys, took part in the gallery.[5]
