In August 2009 the new Metro section between the Central Station and the Pariser Platz, the first roughly 1.9 km long part-section of the so-called U5 Chancellor Line, was opened in the German capital Berlin. The Brandenburg Tor Station was the last structure to be constructed for the time being. This structure represents a part of the 2nd plan approval section running to the Berlin Rathaus, whose amendment plans are tabled for approval.
