    "body": "## Overview\n\nThe U-Bahn line U6 runs in a north–south direction from Alt-Tegel in Tegel via Wedding, Friedrichstraße and the city centre to Tempelhof and Alt-Mariendorf. It has 29 stations and a length of 19.9 km. The line was opened on 30 January 1923 as the Nord-Süd-Bahn (then line C or CI) and was last extended to Alt-Mariendorf on 28 February 1966. During the division of Berlin, several stations in the East Berlin section were passed through without stopping as \"ghost stations\"; on 4 December 2020 the Unter den Linden station was opened, replacing the Französische Straße station closed in 2020.\n\n## Operator\n\nOperated by [[organization_bvg|Berlin Transport Company (BVG)]].\n\n## History\n\nThe Nord-Süd-Bahn built by the city of Berlin went into operation on 30 January 1923 between Hallesches Tor and Stettiner Bahnhof (today Naturkundemuseum) – the first Großprofil line in the network. In the 1950s and 1960s the line was extended at both ends: on 3 May 1956 to Kurt-Schumacher-Platz, on 31 May 1958 to Alt-Tegel and on 28 February 1966 to Alt-Mariendorf. During the division of Berlin, the line passed through five closed \"ghost stations\" in the eastern sector, at which no stops were made.\n\n## Stations\n\nStations in operating direction from north to south (Alt-Tegel – Alt-Mariendorf):\n\n- Alt-Tegel\n- Borsigwerke\n- Holzhauser Straße\n- Otisstraße\n- Scharnweberstraße\n- Kurt-Schumacher-Platz\n- Afrikanische Straße\n- Rehberge\n- Seestraße\n- Leopoldplatz\n- Wedding\n- Reinickendorfer Straße\n- Schwartzkopffstraße\n- Naturkundemuseum\n- Oranienburger Tor\n- Friedrichstraße\n- Unter den Linden\n- Stadtmitte\n- Kochstraße\n- Hallesches Tor\n- Mehringdamm\n- Platz der Luftbrücke\n- Paradestraße\n- Tempelhof\n- Alt-Tempelhof\n- Kaiserin-Augusta-Straße\n- Ullsteinstraße\n- Westphalweg\n- Alt-Mariendorf",
