Deutsche Oper U-Bahn Underground railway station interior designed by architect Alfred Grenander – Charlottenburg, Berlin The station opened on 14 May 1906 as Bismarckstraße in the course of the first western extension of the 1902 Stammstrecke route and the station Wilhelmplatz (now Richard-Wagner-Platz) opened simultaneously as as the western terminus. The station was renamed Städtische Oper on 1 August 1929, Deutsches Opernhaus on 16 August 1934 and finally Deutsche Oper on 22 September 1961. The service between this station and Richard-Wagner-Platz (now on the U7 line) was terminated in 1970, The two central tracks are now not used but the tunnel remains and is used for maintenance service between the U2 and U7 lines. The station was severely damaged by fire that broke out during the Love Parade in 2000 and passengers had to flee into the tunnel as there was only one station exit at the Western end of the platform. The station was re-opened with an additional eastern exit on 1 September 2000 in a renovated 1906 colourful wall tiles were designed by José de Guimarães, a present from the Portuguese ambassador in Berlin.
