 The entry of the closed station was kept as entry to the western end of the "Ringbahn" platform of the new exchange station.The closure of the "Ebersstraße" station gave room for the building of the new Berlin Innsbrucker Platz station, opened on 1 July 1933, further west, on the "Schloßstraße" - "Hauptstraße" - "Potsdamer Straße" thoroughfare, with direct connection to the Schöneberg underground U-Bahn.With the opening of this new "Schöneberg" station, the old "Schöneberg" station which was located just north of the bridge which is now called "Julius-Leber-Brücke" was renamed to "Kolonnenstraße"; close to the site of the Berlin Julius-Leber-Brücke station.
