I also like when you get out in Spandau, you leave a big city underground station and enter a small village. Surreal to me everytime.
"The name of the station is written across five separate tiles, making it easier to replace in the event of damage."
Berlin in one sentence.
And because Gneisenaustrasse is mentioned, stumbled into a drug deal there last weekend, awkward moment.
My favourite thing about U7 is the Jungfernheide station. It sort of quite bland and even neglected but... it hides an extra platform that was supposed to connect centre of the city with Berlin Airport (now sadly closed). The station also used to connect to Siemensbahn which is a totally dilapidated and forgotten train line with a huge historical significance for the city.

Which airport was that? Tempelhof?
Tempelhof has a subway station right in front of it.

My favorite station in Berlin is where they don’t shoot drugs or smoke. Not that many, actually.

This line, which far too long for its own good and sort-of meanders through space, is quite the example of “political geography”. The typography this article focuses on is a microcosm of how the place reminds you of its history, including both the beauty and whimsical, as well as the crimes against kerning and/or humanity. May Berlin forever resist uniforms and uniformity.
Here's an interesting BVG map from 1977, showing the divided network and U7 under construction: https://transitmap.net/west-berlin-1977/ Note that pretty much every major line other than U7 and U9 has an abandoned or pass-through segment due to the division.

For what it's worth, I believe there are plans to reactivate the Siemensbahn tracks for a new line by 2025... or so I've read? Can't quite remember.
