Summary

Description
Deutsch: Haupteingang des U-Bahnhofs Coney Island–Stillwell Avenue auf Coney Island. Diese Station wurde 1919 als Endpunkt vierer U-Bahn-Strecken des Doppelsystems eröffnet und 2001 bis 2005 in dieser Form völlig neu gebaut. Obwohl die heutige Fassade entgegen dem ersten Eindruck nichts mit dem ursprünglichen Bahnhof zu tun hat, geht sie doch auf zwei wesentliche Gegebenheiten der Geschichte ein: Bis 1940 fuhren ausschließlich die Züge der BMT dorthin, deren Logo über dem Eingang Platz gefunden hat, und das stilisierte Türmchen und die Lichterketten an den Fenstern zitieren den einstigen Vergnügungspark auf Coney Island, der einst der Grund für die Errichtung dieses gewaltigen Bauwerks war.
English: Main entrance of the Coney Island–Stillwell Avenue station on Coney Island. This station has been built in 1919 as a terminal of four Dual-Contract lines and was totally rebuilt between 2001 and 2005. Although this facade is completely different from the original construction, it features two essential historical facts: Until 1940, this station exclusively saw BMT service, the logo of which company is still shown above the entrance, and the stylized tower and the lighting along the windows remind of the long-gone Coney Island amusement resort, which once gave reason to erect this massive complex.
