Düppel station around 1940

The chaff station was a stopping point on the trunk line , the Berlin to Potsdam association. It was in the village of Düppel in the Berlin district of Nikolassee between Berlepschstrasse and Lloyd-G.-Wells-Strasse, right on the border with the community of Kleinmachnow in the southwest and the Berlin district of Zehlendorf in the southeast. As a result of the division of Germany, the station was right on the border between West Berlin and the GDR.

history

For over 100 years there was no intermediate station on the trunk line from Berlin to Potsdam, which opened in 1838, between Zehlendorf and Neubabelsberg (today's Potsdam Griebnitzsee station ). Up until the 1920s, the area around what would later become the Düppel stop had little development. Around 1930 the development reached the railway line from the south with the Kleinmachnow settlement Eigenherd. Already at the end of the 1920s, the demand arose to develop a S-Bahn line from the Zehlendorf Mitte station (since 1938: Zehlendorf) to Spandauer Weg (today: Karl-Marx-Straße) to develop Kleinmachnow and the former Düppel estate. In 1934 the Reichsbahndirektion Berlin registered the single-track line with urgency level I and costs of 1.7 million Reichsmarks at the head office of the Deutsche Reichsbahn , although it remained. As the settlement of Kleinmachnow continued to progress, the Reichsbahn set up the  Düppel stop two and a half kilometers southwest of Zehlendorf at block position 19 (1939 briefly: Bk Benschallee). The operating center was opened on 15 July 1939th In order not to reduce the speed of the trains passing through, it was given two side platforms. Originally the name Kleinmachnow was intended, but since the station was built in Berlin, the name of the Düppel manor, located about one kilometer to the northeast, was chosen.

The station's telegraphic abbreviation was Dp . The station was served by the so-called Werder trains until 1945, which ran as steam-hauled suburban trains between Berlin Potsdamer Bahnhof and Werder (Havel) via Potsdam . These stopped at the latest since the opening of the Düppel stop in Zehlendorf and thus provided a connection to the Wannseebahn . In the expansion plans of the Reichsbahn in the course of Germania planning , the expansion of the main line to six tracks and the electrification of the two pairs of suburban tracks for the S-Bahn traffic were provided.

When the Teltow Canal Bridge near Kohlhasenbrück was blown up at the end of the Second World War , the route between Düppel-Kleinmachnow and Griebnitzsee was interrupted. Since the line passed the Berlin city limits several times in this section - from 1945 also the border between the American sector and the Soviet occupation zone  - the line between Griebnitzsee and Düppel was not reopened. The southern (inner-city) track between Griebnitzsee and Zehlendorf was then dismantled as a reparation payment to the Soviet Union , the southern platform in Düppel went out of service.

The German Reichsbahn focused on the two and a half kilometer section between Zehlendorf and chaff on 1 December 1945 designed a shuttle with a steam trains. On June 1, 1948, the line was included in the network of the electric S-Bahn , as the operation with the electric trains was more economical and after the repair-related dismantling of many tracks, enough power rails were available. The shuttle train - initially referred to as train group 8, later referred to as train group 5 - initially ran every half hour and from the end of 1948 every 20 minutes. Behind Düppel, the remaining northern track led, according to the documents, to the former Teltow Canal Bridge, the dismantling was only officially recorded here in the mid-1950s. From December 15, 1951, the breakpoint was called Düppel-Kleinmachnow . Not far from the platform there was a road crossing for the transition from the S-Bahn to Kleinmachnow. Residents of West Berlin had not been allowed to pass since June 1, 1952.

The number of passengers fell rapidly as a result of the construction of the Berlin Wall on August 13, 1961, as the stop in the western sector could no longer be reached from Kleinmachnow. The name Düppel-Kleinmachnow remained, however. At the beginning of 1962, strangers had crossed over the second part of the name of the station sign without authorization and since autumn 1963 the only name entered in the course books was Düppel . Nevertheless, the Rbd Berlin had a new station sign with the valid name put up in April 1971 before the official renaming to Düppel on May 15, 1973.

Until 1961, it was mainly operated with a semi-trailer from the ET 169 series . After their retirement, a class 165 train (from 1970: class 275) took over the journeys. Representatives of other series, such as the ET 166 series, were also occasionally used.

In September 1980, as part of the Reichsbahn workers' strike, the station was closed and then never reopened. On the occasion of the 150th anniversary of the opening of the first Prussian railway line, a historic train of the Berlin Railway Friends commuted on the Zehlendorf - Düppel section from September 23 to 25, 1988 . Since the connecting track to the Wannseebahn was dismantled shortly after the S-Bahn traffic was shut down, the vehicles had to be brought onto the route by road.

Since then, the station has been in disrepair, has already been partially demolished and removed from the urban development plan as a station, with reactivation being discussed again and again. In 2006 and 2008 there were concrete initiatives to reactivate the connection as a regional train connection to Griebnitzsee via Europarc Dreilinden .

In 2017, more than 35 years after the station was closed, it will continue to be listed under the name Berlin-Düppel in DB Netz's directory of operations.
