Living close to the railway

Crellestraße - the beautiful street where I live - was called Bahnstraße before the war. It's just besides the railway, eisenbahn in german. There was a station right behind my house once, as you can see on maps from the 30s.
It was opened in 1881 as Bahnhof Schöneberg, the first one in this part of Berlin, and destroyed during the war, but the platforms.
There were plans to rebuild it since more than 60 years now. Finally it will come true: They started this winter! This will bring noise and dirt for a while, I'm afraid, but then I'll be connected to the world i. e. the main Berlin stations ever better. :)
