Berlin Central Station on the move
Using TerraSAR X data, Berlin Central Station was measured horizontally and vertically over the course of a year. In the warm season, the steel structure of the building expands; in winter, it contracts again. Based on the coloured dots, the maximum deformation in the course of one year can be seen to be in the millimetre range. The horizontal movement is visible in the left-hand image, and the vertical movement of the station structure is shown in the right-hand image.
