Overview

• In early May, BVG filed for approval under Berlin’s Schneller-Bauen-Gesetz, formally entering a three-month review by the Landesdenkmalamt.
• All outstanding conservation requirements have been integrated into the revised designs, but neither heritage nor technical authorities have granted final clearance.
• Passengers continue to use the U-Bahnhof Schloßstraße as a provisional station marked by bare concrete, graffiti and exposed piping.
• A planned elevator location was redesigned after the original site proved unworkable, and BVG has yet to produce a detailed cost estimate or timeline.
• Full station upgrades, including the new elevator, are now deferred to the 2030s with no concrete start date set for the second construction phase.
