History

The first station at Potsdamer Platz was the 'Potsdamer Bahnhof' terminus, which was closed on September 27, 1945 due to war damage. The S-Bahn station, situated in the Nord-Süd-Tunnel, was situated directly under the Berlin Wall and became a ghost station between 1961 and 1989.
The station was extensively remodeled and rebuilt in the 1990s.

U-Bahn

The station also has the line of the Berlin U-Bahn calling at a subterranean platform.

Trivia

The long-distance station is, strictly speaking, not a station but just a stop, as it lacks the points required to be classified as a station under German law.
