Berlin Bundesplatz is a railway station in the Wilmersdorf district of Berlin. It is served by the S-Bahn lines, and and the U-Bahn line .

The underground station opened in 1971 and was built by R.G. Rümmler. It has an unusual layout, with the northbound and southbound platforms placed on either side of a highway tunnel, meaning there is no direct connection between the two directions. The two sides also use different color schemes, one having blue and white panels and the other beige and white.[2] The station was renovated in 2004.
