The Prenzlauer Allee S-Bahn station can be clearly seen in Kollwitz’s watercolor “Workers, Coming from the Station” from 1897.
Depicted is a crowd of people streaming out of a yellow-colored station building in the darkness. Two men are apparently engaged in animated discussion, a woman is carrying a large bundle under her arm, all the people seem tired, no one is paying attention to the elderly man who seems to have spotted someone in the crowd and raises his arm in greeting.
The architecture of the station building is exactly the same as that of the Prenzlauer Allee S-Bahn station on the Ringbahn, which opened in 1892. It has five characteristic round-arched entrances. The S-Bahn has stopped at the station continuously since February 1, 1929 until today, only during the war the stop was briefly suspended.
The station building was renovated in the early 1990s and remains unchanged.
