Alt-Tegel (Berlin U-Bahn)

Alt-Tegel is a Berlin U-Bahn station located on the U6. It was constructed by B. Grimmek and opened as "Tegel" station in 1958. In 1992, the station was renamed to Alt-Tegel (Old Tegel). Nearby, indeed nearly 600 meters to walk, is the S-Bahn station Berlin-Tegel, and the renaming perhaps occurred to avoid confusion.

For the S-Bahn station called Tegel, see Berlin Tegel station.
