few service rooms on the platforms would have been sufficient. Brademann originally planned to locate the station building above the intersection of the Stadtbahn and Ringbahn and to have a single domed train shed over the facility. This proposal was abandoned for financial reasons. The station building was at the southern end of the forecourt on a street now called Am Westkreuz (at Westkreuz) with the main entrance facing to the north. Another entrance was on the west side. The main entrance is symmetrical. The five entrance doors were designed in the manner of a vestibule with walls sloping backwards. Pillar-like wall frames between the individual doors divided the vestibule. In preparation for the expected exhibition traffic, the wall frames would also act as turnstiles. A canopy-like concrete slab covered the door area, above which there were rectangular areas of wall with patterned brick. A rising skylight of the ticket hall was separated by a concrete cornice from the main structure. The windows were aligned above the entrance doors. Above it was written the name BAHNHOF AUSSTELLUNG (exhibition station) or later BAHNHOF WESTKREUZ (Westkreuz station) in illuminated letters. At the southeast corner, the Wk signal box of the S&H 1912 type stood out from the rest of the building. A window front extending around three corners towards the tracks indicated its function. In contrast, the track side of the building had a simplified facade. The wall surfaces of the nested cubic structure of the entrance building, the skylight and the signal tower were structured by flush window openings. The signal box projected from the building line of the station building. With a height of 20 metres above the tracks of the extended Stadtbahn, the building was the tallest signal box in Berlin at the time. A concrete slab that supported the control room of the signal box and two additional concrete slabs at the top of the tower formed a horizontal counterweight to the height of the structure. The floor plan of the ticket hall also indicated its intended function as an exhibition ground station. Starting from the smaller west entrance, the ticket offices were on the right and the access to the platform was opposite the entrance. The larger north entrance would have served as an exit towards the exhibition ground, so that the streams of passengers would not have crossed. The location of this exit on the long
