The lower platforms of Berlin Hauptbahnhof, serving tracks 5 and 6, form part of the deep-level north–south route opened with the station in 2006. This subterranean level, approximately 15 meters below ground, connects long-distance ICE services between Hamburg, Leipzig, and Munich through the Tiergarten Tunnel. The design reflects the precision and uniformity of modern German rail architecture—clean concrete forms, stainless steel fixtures, and bright LED signage. The symmetrical layout, glass partitions, and central clock emphasize efficiency and clarity, key elements of the Hauptbahnhof’s function as Europe’s largest crossing-station hub.
