Goooool, but in German
Because Berlin loves you.
Berlin’s transport authority is getting into the swing of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, as BVG has only recently and temporarily changed signage at 6 of their U-Bahn stations.
These specifically are stations with the word “Tor” at locations which used to be gates in the city’s 18th-century excise-tax wall. The stations are: Brandenburger Tor, Frankfurter Tor, Hallesches Tor, Kottbusser Tor, Oranienburger Tor, and Schlesisches Tor.
It doesn’t exactly have the same enthusiasm and flavour as football announcers in South America with their shouts of “G-g-g-g-gOOOOOl !!!”, but the word “goal” in German happens to be “Tor.”
That’s where we come back to Berlin’s BVG, because their motto “weil wir dich lieben” (because we love you) suggests a knowing wink-and-nod to Berliners. Here are images of all 6 stations.
I made all photos above on 16, 17, and 21 June 2026. This post is created with Jetpack for iOS for Fotoeins Fotografie at fotoeins DOT com.
