Return to Friedrichstraße station
Class 101 electric locomotive No. 101 010 passes through Berlin Friedrichstraße station with an Inter City service on the morning of Saturday 6th August 2022.
The last time I was here was in July 1986. I and my fiancée arrived from West Berlin by S-Bahn train and descended into the labyrinthine and mysterious border control route in the bowels of the station. Having been "approved" by guards whose faces we couldn't see, we emerged into East Berlin, clutching the visas (and local currency) that allowed us westerners to visit the DDR's capital city for one day only.
