the central square of the city center and the beginning of the pedestrian

zone, the station extends over four levels, on which the U3 and

U6 subway lines and the S1 to S8 S-Bahn lines run. The Marienplatz

underground station, designed by the architect’s office Alexander

Freiherr von Branca, stood out with its orange wall panels, the subtly

used ultramarine and dark green tiles as well as the white, light-reflecting

ceilings and its curved lines when it opened on October 19, 1971, in

the manner of the other subway stops in Munich. From 2003 to 2006,

two additional pedestrian tunnels were created, which almost doubled

the space available at the station: In addition to the platforms, two

100-meter-long tunnels were dug, each of which was connected to the

existing platforms by eleven wall openings.
