- Up to 1913 – the construction of the Kleinprofil (small profile) network in Berlin, Charlottenburg, Schöneberg, and Wilmersdorf;
- Up to 1930 – the introduction of the Großprofil (large profile) network that established the first North-South lines;
- From 1953 on – further development after the Second World War.
