Clue 1 of 4

Anhalter Bahnhof

Askanischer Platz • Start outside S Anhalter Bahnhof

Visible layer

One large brick entrance wall, three lower openings and a clock. The rest of the station seems to be missing.

Do this: Look through the openings before walking around the back. The empty footprint makes the scale clear.
