Berlin Schönhauser Allee is a railway station in the Prenzlauer Berg district of Berlin. It is located on the Berlin U-Bahn line U2 and also on the Ringbahn (Berlin S-Bahn). Built in 1913 by A.Grenander opened as "Bahnhof Nordring". As the station was well accepted the roof was elongated in 1925 and a new entrance built. In 1936 the station was named "Schönhauser Allee". On an average day approximately 500 trains and more than 26000 people cross this station.[2]

At this station, the elevated U2 crosses the below-ground S-Bahn, while at the other crossing of the U2 and the Ringbahn, Messe-Nord/ICC S-Bahn station and Kaiserdamm U2 station, the U2 crosses S-Bahn below-ground on the bottom deck of a road bridge.[3]
