A long tunnel under the railway tracks and the Avus connects the forest area in the west with the villa colony in the east of the Grunewald S-Bahn station. Since 1879, the new housing development for millionaires was connected to Berlin's city center by the suburban station. Twenty years later, the picturesque reception building was built, which the architect Karl Cornelius modeled on a castle gate.You can walk through the tunnel. Only the barriers for wheeled traffic slow you down a bit.On the subject of platform 17: The last of 186 transports left Berlin on March 27, 1945. A total of 55,696 people were deported to make the Reich capital "free of Jews," most of them from Grunewald station.
