Excerpt from Wikipedia
Danube is a station of the Paris Métro serving Line 7bis (westbound only).
The station is built as an underground viaduct supported on 220 piersThe station was opened as part of a branch of line 7 from Louis Blanc to Pré Saint-Gervais on 18 January 1911. The station is constructed in unstable terrain, formerly a mine where gypsum was extracted for export to the United States. The station box, strengthened by separate vaults for each track, is perched more than 30m above solid ground. Its 220 supporting columns, each 2.5 metres in diameter, have a cumulative height of 5,500 metres. On 3 December 1967 this branch was separated from line 7, becoming line 7bis.
It is named after the Place du Danube, named after the Danube River. This street was renamed the Place de Rhin-et-Danube in 1952, adding a reference to the Rhine.
