The Berlin-Friedrichsfelde Ost station is an S-Bahn station in the Berlin district of Marzahn in the Marzahn-Hellersdorf district . The station is located north of the suburb of Friedrichsfelde at the intersection of the Prussian Eastern Railway and Rhinstrasse and is served by three lines of the Berlin S-Bahn .
history
Commissioning of the first train station
In 1903, the Friedrichsfelde cattle farm was set up on the site between the Ostbahn and Wriezener Bahn . In addition to the Magerviehhof station on the Wriezener Bahn, which opened for passenger and freight traffic on July 15, 1903, the cooperative for cattle exploitation in Berlin also committed to building a stop on the suburban tracks of the Ostbahn. This was further away, but a direct connection to the Berlin city center was guaranteed via the Ostbahn, which belongs to the suburban tariff area .
The cooperative's original plans were for a simple stop with two side platforms. The Prussian railway administration , however, considered the construction of a raised central platform with level entry to be more appropriate in view of the increasing traffic figures. The level crossing in the course of the Friedrichsfelde-Marzahner Chaussee (today: Marzahner Chaussee) should be removed. The funds required for this, amounting to 425,000 marks (adjusted for purchasing power in today's currency: around 2.92 million euros) were taken from the railroad administration's disposition fund. The cooperative contributed a further 47,000 marks, which corresponded to the costs of a simple stop, as well as the required area north of the railway line. The rural community of Friedrichsfelde made a further grant of 18,000 marks.
Construction work began in 1902. On October 1, 1903, the stop was opened for passenger traffic. In addition to the central platform, it comprised a station building northeast of the overpass over Marzahner Chaussee. The building was connected to the central platform via a tunnel at an obtuse angle to the building. The embankment was intercepted with a lining wall so that the building was not adjacent to the embankment and the tunnel could be provided with additional window openings for better lighting. In addition to the entrance hall, the reception building itself includes the ticket office on the right and an official residence on the left. The building was erected in brickwork with plaster panels in the style of the Brandenburg Middle Ages. The red tiles were white jointed, the roof was covered with brown beaver tails . Agricultural inspector Karl Cornelius was responsible for the execution . At the same time, the extended suburban tracks between the Berlin light rail and Lichtenberg-Friedrichsfelde station (now Berlin-Lichtenberg) went into operation. Some of the trains ran as extended light rail trains via Lichtenberg-Friedrichsfelde and Friedrichsfelde Ost to Kaulsdorf , as the suburban trains that continued to Strausberg were routed over the VnK route opened two years earlier, which bypassed Lichtenberg-Friedrichsfelde station.
The steam-powered suburban trains were supplemented by mixed operation with electric railcars from November 6, 1928. The complete conversion to electric traction took place on January 4, 1929. From December 1, 1930 these trains ran under the name S-Bahn .
Reorganization of the track systems
The expansion plans drawn up in 1937 for the railway network of the world capital Germania envisaged the expansion of the Eastern Railway to four tracks in the Friedrichsfelde Ost area and the construction of an outer freight ring (GAR) about one kilometer east of the station. Both projects were tackled in the summer of 1939 and after the start of the Second World War they were classified as projects of importance to the war effort. The GAR was put into operation on January 1, 1941 between Teltow on the Anhalter Bahn and the Ostbahn and on October 6, 1941 between the Ostbahn and Karow station on the Stettiner Bahn . The freight train route between Lichtenberg and Kaulsdorf was initially opened to traffic on July 3, 1941 as a single track. To the west of the Friedrichsfelde Ost S-Bahn station was therefore the Friedrichsfelde crossing and overtaking point.
Since the long-distance railway tracks in Kaulsdorf were south of the suburban tracks and in Lichtenberg north, the freight tracks had to cross the suburban tracks used by the S-Bahn. This was initially done via two crossings at the same level. The western one was at the eastern end of the Friedrichsfelde depot of the S-Bahn. The freight track then ran between the two suburban tracks and changed to the southern side at the western end of the Friedrichsfelde junction. The northern pair of suburban tracks was moved to the north and received a temporary wooden platform on the side in Friedrichsfelde Ost, while the freight track led past the northern edge of the central platform. A short time later, an overpass structure was put into operation at the level of the western track crossing. The freight track and the suburban track to Kaulsdorf changed location so that the now southern edge of the central platform remained unused. In 1944 the second freight track was put into operation; it ran south of the first freight track.
The northern freight track was dismantled in 1947 and used to rebuild the suburban tracks of the Lower Silesian-Märkische Bahn . In 1950, a connecting track to the Berlin outer ring was built on the free route , which runs in parts on the route of the outer freight ring, which was dismantled after 1945. In 1958, the overpass structure for the northern S-Bahn track across Marzahner Chaussee was renewed and the temporary structure from 1941 removed. A few years later the wooden platform was replaced by a solid construction made of concrete. Supervision on this platform was withdrawn in 1967 due to a lack of staff and the handling of trains through television screens was introduced.
Relocation of the S-Bahn station

In the autumn of 1968, the Deutsche Reichsbahn began converting the railway facilities at the Biesdorfer Kreuz . On the one hand, this should improve the connection between Lichtenberg station and the outer ring and, on the other hand, prepare the route for an S-Bahn in the direction of Marzahn . The renovation took place during ongoing operations. For the S-Bahn to Marzahn, it was necessary to relocate the S-Bahn station by 500 meters to the west south of the mainline tracks. This should also ensure a connection to a new tram line to be built along the Rhinstrasse. The greater distance to the Biesdorf S-Bahn station was to be bridged by a crossing station at the Biesdorfer Kreuz.
The renovation began with the demolition of the old reception building in the autumn of 1968 and its replacement with a barrack. The embankment was then widened on the north side in order to accommodate a connecting track from Lichtenberg to the northern outer ring. The connecting tunnel to the S-Bahn station was extended accordingly and a passimeter was installed in it. In 1972 the side platform got a second platform edge. After the overpass structure between the Ostbahn or the feeder to the southern outer ring on one side and the S-Bahn was completed, the S-Bahn tracks were shifted to the north by a track axis, so that the trains are now exclusively on the northern platform from 1941 held. The southern platform from 1903 was shut down when the tracks were swiveled on June 28, 1974.
The long-distance tracks south of the S-Bahn were then swiveled to the north in order to create space for the new S-Bahn route. On January 24, 1975, the old S-Bahn station east of Marzahner Chaussee was closed. Three days later, the new S-Bahn route south of the long-distance railway tracks was put into operation and a temporary central platform was set up west of Marzahner Chaussee with access to Seddiner Strasse south of the railway. After the remains of the old overpass ramp from the 1940s had been removed, the final S-Bahn station was built below the Rhinstrasse bridge. This was put into operation on September 6, 1979. Access to the central platform is also via Seddiner Straße. Since this arrangement meant long distances, especially for those changing between trams and S-Bahn, a barrier-free staircase at the western end of the platform was put into operation in 2002 . There is still no direct access from the S-Bahn station to the tram stop above.
When the electronic signal box at Biesdorfer Kreuz went into operation in November 2019, the stop became part of the Berlin-Lichtenberg station .
Connection
The S-Bahn station is served by the S5, S7 and S75 lines. There are also transfer options to tram lines 27, 37 and M17 as well as bus lines 192 and 194 operated by BVG .
