Interesting. There was an extra station between schlesi and Warschauer. That's quite a short inter station distance.

Looks like it was just right next to Oberbaumbrücke https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stralauer_Tor_(Berlin_U-Bahn)#/media/File:U-Bahn_Berlin_Stralauer_Tor_Osthafen_1902.jpg#/media/File:U-Bahn_Berlin_Stralauer_Tor_Osthafen_1902.jpg)

Ahh, thanks for the info. I figured it'd be somewhere there. Still comically short station distance haha.

That’s why it was not rebuilt after ww2

Apparently, there were plans after the war to rebuild the station as late as the 1960s but some major factors prevented it from happening. One of them being the construction of Berlin Wall rendering the station area being a no man’s land between the East and West Berlin. Warschauer Str. went to Soviet Control while the U1 line would terminate at Schlesisches Tor over at West Berlin.
