Submay: Rathaus-Spandau

This stop. Rathaus-Spandau Station, Berlin.

Rathaus-Spandau was opened in 1984 and is terminus station on U7 Line of the U-Bahn Berlin. Which reminds me, whatever happened to Spandau Ballet? Like just about all the stations on the U-Bahn opened between the mid-sixties and early nineties, it was designed by Rainer G. Rümmler.

Rümmler is one of the more interesting architects associated with metro stations in that he has evolved his style over time. When he started out in the sixties his designs were very Minimalist. 

By the seventies, his stations became colorful expressions of "Pop Art", while his latest designs reflect a more Postmodernist style. Rathaus-Spandau is probably his showpiece postmodernist station.
