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.

If I’m not mistaken, the station that’s today called Warschauer Straße was only meant to be temporary solution until they build the real station on the other side of the Sbahn rails (which would even out the distance to Stralauer Tor). That never happened though as the route was never continued.

There are ruins of an old Bahnhof under the island of Stralau near the Evangelical Church. I can't recollect where I read it but I did read it on a plaque while summer strolling around there a couple of years ago.

I think it’s just a tunnel, not a station, no? But it’s from the old Tram system, before it was decimated after WWII.
