RE-PUBLISHED (original date: October 4, 2012) -- http://MovingPostcard.com -- The elevated U1 subway line became famous through the 1980s musical Linie 1 by the Grips-Theater. For a long time the train only ran in West Berlin. Now it connects West Berlin's Charlottenburg and Kreuzberg with East Berlin's Friedrichshain via the beautiful Oberbaumbruecke over the Spree River. In this video I concentrated only on the section between the stations Kottbusser Tor and Warschauer Strasse (with Goerlitzer Bahnhof and Schlesisches Tor in-between) - in both directions. This is the lively section that connects the popular (especially at night) neighborhoods of East-Kreuzberg (SO 36) with Friedrichshain. Also it shows some great views of Goerlitzer Park, Schlesische Strasse, Spree, East Side Gallery, Fernsehturm (TV Tower), Lausitzer Platz, Oranienstrasse (with street art by ROA) and of course Kotti (Kottbusser Tor) itself. The song is called "Bound To Go" by The Mirrors from Gainesville, Florida.

You can watch the full ride back and forth at regular speed here:    • Video   For links to more information, please visit http://MovingPostcard.com Personal blog: http://goodhardworkingpeople.blogspot...
