Unter den Linden is a new U-Bahn station under construction in the central Mitte district of Berlin, at the intersection of the Unter den Linden boulevard and Friedrichstraße. It will be an interchange station between the extended U5 and U6 U-Bahn lines.
The U5 extension from Alexanderplatz to the newer at Brandenburger Tor will form a line crossing the historic city centre to the Berlin Hauptbahnhof terminus. Construction of the Unter den Linden station began on 1 July 2012 necessitating a break in service on the line. The completion of the extension is due in 2019, but work on the line was already completed in October 2013.
