take a close look to the seilings
Who is Wilhelm Leitgebel? That is a question that I was not able to answere even after unbelieveable 20min of internet research. So why do I care? Well, after I found out that he was responsible for many classy underground stations in Wilmersdorf, I wanted to pay tribute to him by presenting him to you. But…no way.

All I can tell you is that he was a Wilmersdorfer functionary and architect in 1913, who has designed U Bahnhof Hohenzollern Platz, Fehrbelliner Platz , Heidelberger Platz, Rüdersheimer Platz and last but not least Breitenbachplatz.
All those stations have some really special details to discover. While taking the pictures I didn´t even notice how time passed by.
So, that´s it… tribute paid. At leat for as much as I could…
