Innsbrucker Platz

Named after the Innsbrucker Platz, named after the city of Innsbruck.

The square was named in 1927 after Innsbruck, at the start of the Innsbrucker Straße, in an area planned as a ‘Tyrolean quarter’. The U-Bahn station opened in 1910 as Hauptstraße; in 1933 it was renamed Innsbrucker Platz (Hauptstraße), with signs in Fraktur script, an exception on the network. The Ring station opened the same year.
