Ebertplatz station

The station was opened in 1974 and consists of a mezzanine and two island platforms with four rail tracks. From the beginning it was built to efficiently handle large passenger volumes, as it features no at-grade crossings like some previous underground stations. Before 2008, the station also offered two side platforms on the outer tracks, so passengers could board and leave on both sides. This was due to the fact that the station was also used by single ended tram cars, so each track had to have a platform on the right. To gain accessibility, the platforms for the trains from and to Dom/Hbf had to be elevated, as high-floor cars operate on this route. However, the other tracks, leading to the Ringe tunnel, are, only used by low-floor cars, so the island platforms were split in the middle into a low and a high side. Therefore, the platforms were widened, using the space by the former outer platforms which thus were removed.

On 8th of October 2022, a train of line 18 caught fire while standing at the station. During the incident 6 people were injured, and operations had to be stopped for several hours.[2]
