Moabit Streetcar Depot (1901) Classic Remise Berlin (2003)

From Streetcars to Classic Cars – What progress! In the place of horse-drawn and steam-powered streetcars, electric streetcars began traversing the city around 1900. Eight depots were built for the cars to be stored, maintained, and repaired. The depot in Moabit was the largest in Europe and serviced 10 lines. The hall with four bays had space for 320 cars on 24 sets of tracks. Over 1,000 workers kept everything running smoothly. When streetcars stopped being used in West Berlin in 1964, the depot was closed. Since 2003 it has been home to the Classic Remise Berlin, a center for vintage cars.
