The S-Bahn station Sonnenallee is a breakpoint of S-Bahn Berlin in the district of Neukoelln the Neukölln district of Berlin . It is located at route kilometer 16.7 of the Berlin Ringbahn south of the bridge over Sonnenallee . In the course of history, the S-Bahn station has been renamed several times.

Location and structure

The reception building, built in 1912, is located on Saalestrasse in the east of Neukölln. The tracks are on a heaped embankment above street level. The 160 meter long platform is largely covered and has exits on both sides of Sonnenallee.

The station has a lift system and guidance systems for the blind and is therefore barrier-free . The complex is registered as a monument in the Berlin State Monument List.

history

The Ringbahn was opened on this section in July 1871 for freight and in early 1872 for passenger traffic. From April 1896, the local trains ran on separate tracks. In July 1907, Rixdorf, as Neukölln was called until January 1912, applied for a train station in the area of ​​today's S-Bahn station.

The station was opened on October 1, 1912 as the third station in Neukölln area under the name Kaiser-Friedrich-Straße (after Friedrich III. , "99-day Kaiser" from 1888). Reinhold Kiehl designed the reception building . The station served to develop the Köllnische meadows , which were cultivated at that time. After the "Great Electrification" , the station was served from November 6, 1928 by electric railcars of the "Stadtschnellbahn", from which in 1930 the S-Bahn Berlin emerged.

From October 1, 1939, the station was called Braunauer Strasse , after the entire almost five-kilometer-long street consisting of Kaiser-Friedrich-Strasse (north) and Sonnenallee (south) was named after the birthplace of Adolf Hitler on May 11, 1938 . Rail traffic came to a standstill during the Battle of Berlin in April 1945 and was only resumed on June 18, 1945. The Deutsche Reichsbahn later renamed the station Sonnenallee ; the street itself received this name on July 31, 1947.

When the wall was built on August 13, 1961, the circular railway between the Sonnenallee and Treptower Park stations was interrupted. Trains on the East Berlin side were without exception to the Görlitz line continued, whereas Sonnenallee with at Baumschulenweg-Neukölln link line nearby S-Bahn station Köllnische Heide to one of the two southeastern terminuses of the circle line trains in West Berlin was. The tracks north of the station were then used by the trains to sweep .

With the Reichsbahn strike , S-Bahn traffic in West Berlin came to a standstill on September 18, 1980. As a result, the Ringbahn, like other routes, was shut down. In 1989, the reconstruction work on the line began, initially the station building was renovated for 1.7 million Deutschmarks on behalf of the administration of the former Reichsbahn property. With the opening of the borders to East Berlin shortly afterwards, the plans were corrected and the connection of the Ringbahn to the Görlitzer Bahn via Köllnische Heide was preferred to closing the gap via Sonnenallee. The reopening of the section between Neukölln and Treptower Park was also delayed by plans to continue building the A 100 city motorway . On December 18, 1997, the approximately 3.4 km long section including the Sonnenallee S-Bahn station was finally put back into operation. For a better connection to the bus, the station was given a second exit on both sides of the Sonnenallee as well as an elevator for disabled access.

At the S-Bahn platform, the train driver handles the train using the driver's cab monitor (ZAT-FM).
