Berlin Hauptbahnhof is equipped with extensive technical installations. There are 54 escalators, six panorama lifts, ten more passenger lifts and seven goods lifts connecting the station levels. In addition, there are nine lifts at the disposal of rescue services and the fire brigade in the event of an incident.
