 In 1990, after the Berlin Wall fell, the station became accessible again.In 1995, the platform had to be lengthened by 25 m so that the long, six-car trains could stop there.With the opening of the expanded line connecting Alexanderplatz with Berlin Hauptbahnhof, Französische Straße station will be closed and replaced by the newly built Unter den Linden station directly to the north, allowing transfers between the U6 and U5 lines.
