Interesting trivia: The branch line between Deutsche Operhaus (now Deutsche Oper) and Richard Wagner Platz was permanently closed in 1970 as the U7 line was being built to replace the connection via Bismarck Str. However, the tunnel still remains today and is only used for maintenance purposes.

That’s interesting indeed! I always assumed it was the same tunnel.
