Brussels for Tintin - Fans

A round trip on Hergé's footsteps
Gare du Midi / Zuidstation Stockel / Stokkel

>> Deutsche Version

4. Stockel / Stokkel

The underground station "Stockel / Stokkel" is the terminus of Line 1 in the east of the city.
Construction started in march 1981. 1982 Hergé produced sketches for the murals that were installed by the Studio Hergé 1987/88, in parts by Bob de Moor, before the station went into operation in September 1988.

The mural consists of two 135 meter long reliefs with 140 figures.
The Metro made a book on this: "Tintin dans le metro" (STIB, 1990)

A visit there is a must for fans!
