Prior to World War 2, Berlin's Anhalter Bahnhof was the most important station in the city for routes to central and southern Germany, as well as Austria and Italy. The station was heavily damaged during the war and this led to the closure of the station in 1952.
Part of the station's frontage remains today as a memorial and a popular place to visit for sightseers. This DVD tells the story of the station, from its opening through to closure. It also covers the construction of the new north-south main line under Berlin, which passes near to Anhalter Bahnhof.
