After more than 40 years, the Munich municipal utilities are modernizing the Fraunhoferstrasse subway station.
It should be finished in the early 1930s.
Munich - It should be more modern, barrier-free and passenger-friendly, and fire protection and safety requirements must also be implemented: The Munich public utility company is renovating the Fraunhoferstrasse subway station.
Execution is planned in two construction phases: Fire protection measures will begin in 2026, and modernization measures are expected to start in 2028. It should then be finished in the early 1930s.

After modernization: Yellow should remain the dominant color at Munich's Fraunhoferstrasse subway station
The architectural redesign of the station is inspired by the namesake Joseph von Fraunhofer.
The color concept is based on the spectrum of sunlight, which Fraunhofer analyzed intensively, as the MVG reports.
The color yellow should remain the central identifying feature of the platform, as is already the case, but red and blue tones will also beautify the subway station.

The current fire protection concept also provides for a mechanical smoke extraction system.
For this purpose, the access structure on the corner of Fraunhoferstrasse and Klenzestrasse is to be expanded to a height of around 11 meters, as space in the existing subway station is very limited and the smoke exhaust system and the associated technical rooms must be accommodated.
