The Lankwitz Station is a S-Bahn station in Berlin district of Lankwitz of the borough of Steglitz-Zehlendorf at the Anhalt Suburban Line at high altitude. The abbreviation in the Deutsche Bahn operating point directory is BLAK . It is served by the S-Bahn with lines S25 and S26.
The primary access to the platform is through the northeastern pedestrian tunnel , which is accessible on the one hand from Hanna-Renate-Laurien-Platz in front of the Lankwitz town hall in the south and on the other from Kaulbachstrasse in the north . A south-side exit ramp to Brucknerstraße is barrier-free entrance to the platform possible.
history
The line was built at ground level and single-track in 1841. It was already two-pronged in 1849. The first train station in Lankwitz was opened on December 1, 1895 with the decisive involvement of August Bruchwitz , at that time still as long-distance train station Lankwitz-Viktoriastraße north of today's Leonorenstraße (until 1937 Viktoriastraße). On September 30, 1899, the station was renamed Lankwitz . Shortly afterwards, the line was relocated to an elevated position and expanded to four tracks, while the station was rebuilt in its current elevated position south of Leonorenstrasse and opened in 1901. Since then, only the suburban trains have stopped in Lankwitz. The suburban railway was the first line in Berlin to be electrified in 1903 and converted to 750 volts direct current in 1929 , the system used by the Berlin S-Bahn to this day.
On the night of August 23-24, 1943, which went down in history as the Lankwitz bombing night , Lankwitz was (mistakenly) bombed by the Royal Air Force . Large parts of Lankwitz were completely destroyed in the process, including the station building completed in 1895 and the Realgymnasium located close to the station (built 1906–1908 in Kaulbachstrasse). The town hall, which is part of the building ensemble, and the multi -storey car park known as the “ cheese bell ” were also badly damaged.
The bridge over the Teltow Canal , which was destroyed in the Second World War , was only rebuilt on a single track. As a result, on August 17, 1945, a single-track section was created between the Lankwitz and Südende train stations. After the takeover of the S-Bahn by the BVG on January 9, 1984, the Priesterweg - Lichterfelde Süd line with the Lankwitz station was closed. Recommissioning was not planned. The bridge over Leonorenstrasse was torn down.
After the fall of the Berlin Wall , the route grew in importance. It was reopened on May 28, 1995 after renovation work. The single-track section over the Teltow Canal was extended to the south, so that Lankwitz station has also been single-track since then. Only the eastern edge of the platform is used from the former central platform, but in both directions. This makes it the only single-track S-Bahn station in Berlin today where the S-Bahn runs every 10 minutes. Until the introduction of train driver self-handling (ZAT), the S-Bahn station was handled remotely by the staff of the Südende station.
Lankwitz station is planned as a planned transfer station between the S-Bahn and the U9 subway line, which may be extended . Due to the city's financial situation, however, no realization is expected in the long term.
