Treni - Berlino: libri illustrati - linee ferroviarie e stazioni

Berlin Hauptbahnhof

Just in time for the start of the 2006 Football World Cup in Germany, the extensive renovation and new construction of the railway network in the centre of Berlin was completed.
The major project of Berlin's main station was thus completed: the formerly tranquil Lehrter Stadtbahnhof became the capital's central transfer station - one of the world's most impressive railway structures of the last few decades.

This title deals with the progress and setbacks of this project up to the current storm damage of the winter of 2007 and thus shows background information that is both interesting and explosive.

Auf Schienen zum BER - Mit dem Flughafen-Express zum Terminal

Berlin-Brandenburg Airport "Willy Brandt" was opened without much pomp on October 31, 2020. The delay in its construction has now become synonymous with poor government planning.
Nevertheless, the new airport received its own rail connection including complex station and tunnel construction, which, unlike the airport, was completed on time for the planned opening date in 2012. But this success also caused problems.

An interesting story, told by Bernd Kuhlmann, who also reports in detail on the historical development of rail transport in Schönefeld.

Berlin Nordkreuz - Bau, Geschichte, Gegenwart

After reunification, an important rail junction was built in the north of Berlin with the stations Gesundbrunnen, Bornholmer Straße and Schönhauser Allee, the importance of which is easily underestimated compared to the Südkreuz and Ostkreuz. The construction project planned as Nordkreuz was the largest new construction project by Berlin's railways since 1990 after the new north-south long-distance railway tunnel.

With over 350 illustrations, this volume documents a fascinating chapter in Berlin's transport and city history. Bernd Kuhlmann traces the construction and growth of the Berlin Nordkreuz, but also looks into the past.

Das große Berliner Eisenbahn-Album

Berlin and the railway are closely linked. The large long-distance train stations, the city railway line, the ring railway and the numerous suburban lines once formed the iron skeleton of the metropolis.

To this day, train stations and extensive railway tracks shape the character of the German capital. This book tells the story. More than 500 impressive images bring a piece of Berlin's history back to life and show the typical locomotives, the legendary trains and the cityscapes to the left and right of the tracks.
The new edition of this classic takes into account the current changes and projects of the last few years.

Die S-Bahn in Berlin - Eine fotografische Reise durch die achtziger und neunziger Jahre

With the fall of the Berlin Wall, the Berlin S-Bahn network suddenly regained its original importance. This book takes the reader on a photo-documentary journey through the 1980s and 1990s to relive the divided and reunited network in the eastern and western parts of the city.

The impressive images primarily capture details such as the irreplaceable charm of the trams rattling over rail joints, the incandescent lighting, enamelled station signs, wrought iron railings, cast iron platform supports, playful decorations, small paving stones and much more.
The readers embark on a journey into a past that is not too far away in time, but awakens memories of bygone eras.

Die Spreewaldbahn - Die Geschichte der legendären Schmalspurbahn

Barges, traditional costumes and cucumbers - that's what most people associate with the Spreewald. Railway enthusiasts, on the other hand, associate the region in southern Brandenburg with the approximately 85-kilometer-long narrow-gauge network between Lübben, Goyatz, Lieberose and Cottbus.

Although no trains have run here since 1970, the Spreewald Railway is one of the most famous narrow-gauge railways in Germany. No wonder, because the small machines and the short trains of the "Spreewald-Guste" embodied the romanticism of the little train like no other route.

The new edition of this classic by Erich Preuss has been enriched with additional historical images.

Vom Rostkreuz zum Ostkreuz - Berlins großer Eisenbahnknoten

The Ostkreuz station developed into one of the capital's most important railway hubs over the course of 175 years.
After 1989, the "Rust Cross" achieved cult status due to its morbid charm. The reconstruction took twelve years, but its fascination remained. Today, 1,512 long-distance, regional and suburban trains pass through the station every day, as well as around 123,000 people getting on, off and changing trains, giving the station a top position in Germany.

Bernd Kuhlmann describes with great precision the complex conversion to a modern traffic junction, which took place while traffic was still running - a challenge for passengers and construction workers.
