That applies to the oldest stations in the city's center. Many stations build even in 1980s are not so deep & suitable for the task, though they may have some special means integrated too.

Also several deeper stations built by the Hamburger Hochbahn in the 70ies are dual use like that. I guess for a certain timeframe (WW2 -> Cold War) it was like that everywhere where such infrastructure has been built?
