The Berlin subway line U4... above!

A few months ago I shared the story of the tiny line U4 of the Berlin subway network and I thought I was done with this silly little thing. Until I realized, I could follow its course above ground to get a better understanding what places it actually goes to.

[the S- and U-Bahn stations Innsbrucker Platz as seen from the street; the station name is written three times in large letters]

I start at the station of Innsbrucker Platz again, which is mostly a quite noisy intersection but quickly make my way over to the Innsbrucker Straße under which the subway tunnels go northwards.

[a column with a fountain in front of a few, healthy green trees marks the beginning of the wide Innsbrucker Straße]

The street is technically very wide but most of it is taken up by strip of car parking along the center as well as trees and benches on most of the intersections. It was a nice and quite, casual walk through mostly residential buildings.

[one of said benches at an intersection; bollards protect this little island from the occasional car coming by]

A short few minutes walking through this residential area later I got to a park. The Volkspark Wilmersdorf is one of the numerous recreational parks built in the early 1900s when Berlin was booming and city planners realized that green spaces would be necessary to provide the city with fresh air and people with space to relax and do sport. The park was partially built in an artificial valley and when then U4 line was built, it was built straight through it.

[the Carl-Zuckmayer-Brücke going straight through the park as seen from one of the stairs leading from the bridge to one of the paths in the park]

The bridge is nowadays completely pedestrianized and as the U4 runs very shallow the trains run right beneath the upper deck. This is also where the station Rathaus Schöneberg is, which is still under some construction work to make it fully accessible. This quite unique situation makes it possible to sit in the park and look through glass windows into a subway station.

[looking through one of the windows in the station one can see an old an one new station sign as well as one of the benches on the platform]

And on the other hand you can stand on top of a bridge that is also a subway station and enjoy the view into a public park.

[view from the bridge over a small lake and some paths winding through the green grass and trees of the park; people are sitting on the grass or walking about in the distance]

I continued on my way through more residential area, which was mostly unremarkable. It was quiet and pleasant with more people just walking on foot than cars driving.

Then I reached the Bayerischer Platz, where the Innsbrucker Straße intersects the larger Grunewaldstraße. The station building for the subway is actually quite neat. It sits on an island and has a cafe overlooking the square on top.

[the modern station building for Bayerischer Platz; potted plants sit on the balcony of the cafe on the first floor]

The square is mostly taken up by a small park. I was not able to get a good picture of it as there was an unsightly construction site and quite a bunch of people around so I just continued on my way without disturbing people.

Unfortunately I messed up slightly and did not follow the bend of the U4 precisely so I only rejoined it at the next station of Viktoria-Luise-Platz. But the way mostly continued through more cozy neighborhoods.

I had taken nice pictures of this square before, but in early summer it is a lot nicer. They even have the fountain going now.

[the big water fountain in the center of Viktoria-Luise-Platz shoots water a few meters into the air; a few people walk and rest among the green grass in the background]

I did not realize it last time but several of the streets leading towards this square are blocked off with bollards, reducing through traffic considerably. I saw quite a lot of people riding bikes as the streets were in nice shape and very quiet. A few cafes were open and had seating on the walkway giving this whole space the low, comforting hum of people being around.

Now properly back on track I followed the line to its northern terminus by walking along Motzstraße. This is the beginning of Nollendorfkiez, which is known for being a center of queer life in the city. Since 1993 this is where during pride the Lesbisch-Schwules-Stadtfest (lesbian-gay city festival) takes place. Most of the time it is just a very cozy neighborhood though.

[a small shop on the ground floor of a residential building; several pride flags hang in the breeze]

The Motzstraße ends at Nollendorfplatz with its partially overground subway station where the U4 meets the lines U1, U2 and U3.

[a train of the U2 pulls into the overground platforms of the station Nollendorfplatz; one of the entrances is just below where the trains runs]

This marks the end of my trip along the U4. This was a lot of fun and a nice way of discovering parts of the city I have not been to before, so I am considering walking along the other eight lines as well. As those are a lot longer, I will have to see how I will manage that and will probably split these trips into multiple parts.

16.03.2020 | Corona Madness

Tja, während unsere Projektarbeit und unsere Expertinnen-Interviews so vor sich hinliefen, lief leider auch das COVID-19 Virus nach Berlin über. Darüber braucht es gar keine vielen Worte, denn irgendwie waren wir dann doch alle daran beteiligt.

Auch wenn der Großteil unserer Expertinnen-Interviews bereits hinter uns liegt, wollen wir uns noch mit ein paar Frauen unterhalten. Dank Corona müssen wir dafür nun neue Wege finden.

Wir entschieden uns dazu, die Expertinnen, die wir noch befragen wollen, nicht mehr physisch zu treffen und so sowohl ihre als auch unsere Gesundheit unnötig zu gefährden. Bisher hatten wir die Interviews auch als Video aufgenommen. Dazu hatten wir, dank der Unterstützung des Medienlabors, einen festen Raum in der Grunewaldstraße, den wir nutzen durften. Sowohl die Video-Aufnahme als auch das Zusammenkommen in der Grunewaldstraße fallen nun weg. Die letzten Gespräche werden wir über Telefon, Videokonferenz oder über einen schriftlichen Austausch führen. Dabei richten wir uns nach den Präferenzen der Gründerinnen, die wohl teilweise durch die Corona-Situation weniger zeitliche Ressourcen mobilisieren können als vorher. Ein paar Gesprächspartnerinnen, mit denen wir vor Einbruch der Situation bereits in Kontakt standen, reagieren zurzeit nicht mehr auf unsere Anfragen. Auch das führen wir mutmaßlich auf die Mehrbelastung durch Corona zurück, die uns wohl alle vor neue Herausforderungen stellt.

Auch unser gemeinsames Arbeiten muss sich dem Modus der Pandemie anpassen. Unser wöchentlicher Jour Fixe wird in Zukunft ausfallen. Wir werden auch das Büro der Agentur nicht mehr nutzen. Doch nach Blumenberg ist die Fernhandlung, die actio per distans, dem Menschen ja eigen. Wenn wir nun also auch per distans arbeiten, über zwei Städte verteilt und ohne Ort des Zusammentreffens, werden wir damit umzugehen wissen. Fürs Erste haben wir uns zu einem wöchentlichen Zoom-Meeting verabredet, dessen Taktung wohl zum Ende unserer Projektarbeit ansteigen wird. Auch wenn die unvorhergesehene Situation unsere Arbeit beeinflussen wird, ist sie doch eine spannende Gelegenheit, herauszufinden, wie sich das Persönliche auf das Inhaltliche auswirkt, wie der Modus unserer Kommunikation unser Kommunikationsprojekt mit gestaltet. Mehr Missverständnisse oder weniger aneinander vorbeireden? Weniger Flexibilität oder mehr Struktur? Zeit für ein bisschen Occasion Management!
