Warschauer Straße is the eastern terminus station of linesU1 andU3 of theBerlin U-Bahn.

Designed by Paul Wittig under contract withSiemens & Halske and opened on 17 August 1902 under the nameWarschauer Brücke, the station was the first station of the Berlin elevated railway. The station consists of a 360 meter long and 26 meter wide brickviaduct.
The station was closed at the end ofWorld War II and did not open again until 14 October 1945. Since the U-Bahn station is the only station of the U1 located in the eastern part of the city, it was closed again in 1961 due to the construction of theBerlin Wall.[2]
FollowingGerman reunification in 1990, the station underwent extensive reconstruction and was reopened on 14 October 1995. At the same time it was renamedWarschauer Straße in order to create uniformity with the adjacentBerlin S-Bahn station located 150 metres away.
In 1914, Berlin's elevated rail company planned to extend the rail line east toFrankfurter Allee to the location of today'sFrankfurter Tor U-Bahn station. However,World War I and its aftermath prevented the execution of these plans. In 2011, Berlin city transport planners excluded such an extension in their development plan. At the same time, any plans to move the U-Bahn station to create a single interchange station were shelved. Instead, the Berlin Senate plans an extension of a footbridge linking the two stations.
TheOberbaumbrücke, theEast Side Gallery, andMercedes-Benz Arena (formerO2 World arena) can be reached on foot. Three discothèques are located in the basement vaults of the U-Bahn building: TheMatrix Club, since 1996, one of the biggest venues in Berlin with up to nine bars and five dancefloors, theNarva Lounge and theBusche.
