From the Wikipage:
"There was a longstanding belief that the red limestone used in the 1950
redesign of the station consisted of re-used claddings from the interior of
Adolf Hitler's Reich Chancellery,
which had been standing close to the station. According to the East Berlin
newspapers Neues Deutschland and Berliner Zeitung from August 19th, 1950,
however, the marble for the newly
renovated station was delivered directly from quarrys in Thuringia. In more
recent times, petrographic research confirmed this origin of the material."
