Once one of Berlin's giant terminal stations - Kopfbahnhöfe - before WW2, all that is left of the Anhalter Bahnhof today is part of the front entrance. It was badly damaged in WW2, but not irreparably: what led to its demise was the post-war division of Berlin into the Soviet and Western zones. A brief history of the station is on this webpage. Around the present entrance to the Anhalter S-Bahn station (underground here) are photos of the old days.
A scale model is available of it, produced by Märklin(?).
