The Berlin-Frohnau station is a S-Bahn station on the Berlin Northern Railway . It is located in the center of the Berlin district of Frohnau ( Reinickendorf district ). From its opening until January 31, 1938, it was called Frohnau (Mark) . The next train station to the north is Hohen Neuendorf station , and to the south is Hermsdorf station .
The S-Bahn station has a parking and turning system , which is located north of the platform on the former route of the long-distance railway tracks. The S-Bahn line will also be single-track to the north of the station.
The platform has an entrance at the northern end. This leads through the station building on the south side of the Frohnauer Brücke and to Ludolfingerplatz west of the railway line, here there are bicycle parking spaces and short-term parking spaces. An elevator enables barrier-free access to the platform. To the east of the railway line is Zeltinger Platz , where a taxi stand has been created. There are also bus stops at both places.
history
The station building with the low platform was built by the Berlin Railway Directorate 1908–1910, also based on a design by the Gustav Hart & Alfred Lesser ( Hart & Lesser ) architects. The Berlin Terrain-Centrale, which at that time opened up Frohnau as a new settlement area, made a construction cost subsidy of 30,000 marks (adjusted for purchasing power in today's currency: around 175,000 euros) and assumed the operating costs for four years. Long before Frohnau was founded, the Northern Railway has operated here between Berlin and Stralsund since 1877 . From 1891 it was expanded to two tracks. In the place of today's Frohnau train station there was a station keeper's house. The next stops were Hermsdorf in the south and Stolpe in the north (the Stolpe train station was located immediately north of today's invalid housing estate and was closed in 1924). When the Frohnau Bridge was built in 1909, the railway tracks were lowered, the surrounding area was filled in and the road bridge was built to connect the districts built on both sides of the railway. On May 1, 1910, the new Frohnau station was inaugurated; 1640 visitors were counted. On April 1, 1925, the electric S-Bahn to Oranienburg replaced the steam trains .
After 1945 the Wilhelmsruh - Birkenwerder section was reduced to one track each for long-distance and suburban trains. Since there were no crossing options available along the route, the trains could initially only run every hour. It was not until 1948 that the cycle was compressed to 20 minutes by two newly set up crossing stations in Waidmannslust and Frohnau. After 1952, long-distance traffic in the Berlin area was also given up, as the line was now in the western part of the city, but the tracks were not used for the expansion of the S-Bahn line.
When the Berlin Wall was built in 1961, the S-Bahn line between the Frohnau and Hohen Neuendorf stations was interrupted. Despite the shrinking passenger numbers as a result of the S-Bahn boycott that began after 1961, operations along the northern line were maintained and even continued after the Reichsbahn strike in 1980 . It was not until the BVG took over the operating rights on January 9, 1984 that operations were stopped. Since the passengers spoke out in favor of an operation with massive protests after the takeover, it was resumed on October 1, 1984. This only lasted until May 1986, after which the line was extensively renovated and the second track was completely restored. The work was completed on December 22, 1986. The station's tourist facilities were also renovated between 1984 and 1986.
After German reunification , the gap across the West Berlin city limits between Frohnau and Hohen Neuendorf was closed, initially on a single track with the option of rebuilding the second track, so that continuous S-Bahn operation on the northern line to Oranienburg has been possible again since May 31, 1992. In 2010 the station building was energetically renovated as part of the Federal Republic of Germany's economic stimulus package , which reduced energy consumption by 41 percent.
Connection
The station is served by the S-Bahn line S1. There are transfer options to bus lines 220, 125 and N20 of the BVG as well as to line 806 of the OVG at the places at the train station.
In daytime traffic, the station is the end of every second train on the S1 line from Wannsee , so that there is a ten-minute and further 20-minute cycle in the direction of Oranienburg.
