Berlin U Bahn station

Mohrenstraße is a Berlin U Bahn station on line U2, located in the district of Mitte. The station is located at the western end of the eponymous Mohrenstraße, which runs in an east west direction. Its western entrance opens up to the north south crossing Wilhelmstraße and is located opposite the junction with Voßstraße. The east entrance is located at Glinkastraße.

The original station designed by Alfred Grenander opened on 1 October 1908 on the new branch from Potsdamer Platz to Spittelmarkt. It was then called Kaiserhof after the nearby grand hotel on the Wilhelmplatz square, was designated by black and white at platform level, and had an oval opening to the stairs and a booking hall with elaborate tilework at the Wilhelmstraße end. This entrance was rebuilt in 1936, the year of the Berlin Olympics, to provide more space for parades at the adjacent Reich Chancellery. The station was severely damaged in World War II on 3 February 1945. The rebuilt station, now located in East Berlin, reopened on 18 August 1950 as Thälmannplatz, to which the Wilhelmplatz square had been renamed for the communist leader Ernst Thälmann. In more recent times, petrographic research confirmed this origin of the material. With the erection of the Berlin Wall from 13 August 1961, the line ceased to run between East and West Berlin and the station became the terminus of the line in East Berlin. Beginning in 1986 the square was overbuilt The murder of George Floyd prompted anti racist demonstrations and accompanying debates about structural racism in Germany; in response to this, the Berliner Verkehrsbetriebe (BVG) announced on 3 July 2020 that they would change the station name from Mohrenstraße to Glinkastraße, after the street name at the station's eastern entrance, which honors the 19th century Russian composer Mikhail Ivanovich Glinka. This name was also criticised because Glinka had expressed antisemitic views, and the BVG said a final decision on the new name had yet to be made. On 20 August, 2020, the District Assembly of Berlin Mitte voted that Mohrenstraße will be renamed "Anton Wilhelm Amo Straße".
