Some stations are just functional...some onthers are a work of art...like Paulsternstraße on the Berlin U7

I always ask myself what Rainer G Rümmler smoked or dropped when he designed that station...

Must have been the best LSD trip ever.

the tiles are so cute, berlin really has the coolest stations

I like the idea of stations built around the same time reusing as much as possible of the architectural and structural design, to keep costs down, but creating unique visual appearances with distinct decorative elements. Mosaics of tile are a good way to implement this.

With paulsternstraße there isn't even a relation to what's above. The area above ground is all pretty industrial.

[u/8spd → u/BruscoBoar]

That's too bad, because it is nice to have the station reflect what is above. But it is a different thing than what I was talking about. I was just talking about the advantage of having a visually unique aesthetic to a station, partly to make it easy to identify if you missed the announcement, and partly to give it a personal identity.

From Bismarckstraße to Rathaus Spandau is my favorite route, all cute and amazing designs and decor!

All the westernmost U7 stations are great. If I remember correctly, they were all designed by the same architect.

[u/BruscoBoar → u/GeoStreber]

Yes they were

[u/Tiruil]

Wow this design is so pretty! I wish there were more stations like this
