Actually, S-Bahn construction in Munich has been halted by WWII. There was a short stretch of tunnel plus a station shell built from 1938 to 1941, then construction stopped.The tunnel was used as air raid shelter during the last years of WWII. When Munich won the Olympic bid for 1972 in the late 60's, the short stretch of tunnel was integrated into the newly-built Munich subway. The old station shell is today's "Goetheplatz" station. |
