Westfriedhof is an U-Bahn station in Munich on the U1 line of the Munich U-Bahn system, it opened on 24 May 1998, the extension onwards to Georg-Brauchle-Ring was completed in 2003.[1] It is located in the course of the second main line on the border between the Munich districts Neuhausen-Nymphenburg and Moosach.
The station built below Orpheusstraße was opened to traffic on 24 May 1998. The subway station is served by the subway line U 1. Since 12 December 2011, it has also been the terminus of the U 7 reinforcement line, which only runs during rush hours. There is a link with other Munich public transport lines at above-ground tram stops.
From 1998 to 2003 it was the terminus of the U 1 line and is the terminus of tram line . Because of its lighting design, it is occasionally used as a photo motif by advertising agencies and the special atmosphere has also been used as a record cover.[2] The light comes from eleven lamps, each 3.80 metres in diameter, which have luminaires in blue, red and yellow.[3] At the western end sunlight falls in. This divides the platform into different colours. Together with the rough walls, the station is reminiscent of a cave. Originally, the architect had planned a glass pane in front of the walls, but he liked it better that way. However, the walls had to be secured with a steel net in 2003, as individual pieces had loosened from the wall time and again. The barrier storey can be reached by rolling stairs, fixed staircases and a lift. From there you can also get to the surface by means of rolling and fixed stairs and a lift, where there is a connection to the tram line to Moosach and to the tram lines and in the direction of the city centre.[4]
