Metro Museum
The old lever-operated signal tower at the Olympiastadion metro station
The old signal tower, which was the largest of its time in
Europe, is a museum in itself. The metro committee has filled it
with many rare exhibits over the past years as well. You are sure
to enjoy a visit to the Metro Museum.

Everything still works
All the displays at the Metro Museum still work and can be
demonstrated, including the lever-operated signal tower itself, the
current collector with a drive-lock mechanism, or the metro door
with an inside view of the locking mechanism. Especially
interesting displays include the original ball from the top of a
tower on the Oberbaum (fished out of the Spree River), the
Westinghouse signal tower from the very first year, a manually
operated timetable display, instrument panels from different metro
models, and the clock station. We are also pleased to welcome new
committee members, sponsors, or patrons who would like to help
maintain this jewel of metro history.
Historical metro tickets for museum entry
Entrance tickets for the museum look like historical metro tickets.
They are sold at an old metro ticket window, and dispensed from a
roller with a metering mechanism.
