"Tränenpalast is the colloquial term in Berlin for the former exit hall of the border crossing at Bahnhof Friedrichstrasse in East Berlin in the historic Dorotheenstadt district of the Mitte district. From here, S-Bahn, U-Bahn or long-distance trains from the GDR to West Berlin.

The name Tränenpalast derives from the fact that most GDR citizens had no freedom to travel to West Berlin during the period mentioned and their western visitors had to say goodbye here in tears.

The control and check-in counters of the border troops of the GDR were in the Tears Palace. "

The station is not really a "green oasis" to be described or admired.
"Eat a train station" and one with more than just one story.
