Westkreuz station was built in the course of the electrification (with third rail) of the “Stadtbahn” cross-city railway, the Ringbahn and the suburban lines connected from East and West to the “Stadtbahn”. Before, Ringbahn-trains had to call at Charlottenburg station. The station was opened on 10 December 1928, as a two-level-station under the name Ausstellung (Exhibition, for its closeness to the Messe Berlin fairgrounds), which was changed to its current name in 1932.
