 The station was the first on the Berlin network to be fitted with escalators, which connected the two platforms.Until 1930, tram lines were present on all the streets converging on Hermannplatz, and it was served by no fewer than 15 separate routes.In the following years however, there was a gradual reduction in tram provisioning in the former West Berlin, and the last tram ran to Hermannplatz on 1 October 1964.
