The station Berlin-Lichterfelde Ost is a station of the S-Bahn Berlin in the Berlin district of Lichterfelde . It is located on the Berlin – Halle railway line ("Anhalter Bahn") and the Anhalter suburban railway that runs parallel to it .
history
The first station in Lichterfeld was opened on September 20, 1868 on the Berlin – Halle (Saale) line under the name of Lichterfelde as a stop for long-distance trains and was financed by the entrepreneur and urban developer J. A. W. von Carstenn . At that time the tracks of the Anhalter Bahn were still at ground level and the station had only one platform . From 1876, suburban trains also stopped there. In 1881 Siemens & Halske built the Lichterfelde – Kadettenanstalt tram as the world's first electrically operated tram , the end of which was in front of the train station. On July 15, 1884, the station was renamed Groß-Lichterfelde after Lichterfelde, Giesensdorf and their estates had formed a community. Because of its location on the Anhalter Bahn from Berlin to Halle (Saale), it was renamed Groß-Lichterfelde B. H. two years later to avoid confusion with the Groß-Lichterfelde B. M. station on the Berlin-Magdeburg railway line , which is now known as Lichterfelde station West served the Wannseebahn .
Finally, on January 1, 1899, the name was changed again to Groß-Lichterfelde Ost and a second platform was opened at the same time, which was used exclusively for long-distance traffic. In 1901 the separate suburban tracks to the Potsdam ring and suburban train station went into operation.
Between 1913 and 1916 the station was raised and expanded to three platforms with six platform tracks. In addition, there were five freight tracks. Next to the central platform for the S-Bahn, which is still preserved today, was the central platform for local traffic, next to it the central platform for stopping long-distance trains. The new building according to the plans of Karl Cornelius with the collaboration of Alfred Lücking received a pilasters- structured reception building on the northwest side with an entrance decorated with a clock gable , which was rebuilt after the Second World War without pitched roofs. At its continuation there is a pedestrian tunnel that is illuminated with skylights . It also ends on the south-east side with a representative neoclassical portal with a tympanum and flanked by two fluted pilasters. On the platforms there were wooden, single-stemmed, inwardly sloping roofs on a steel substructure, which are only preserved on the S-Bahn platform to this day. To the west of the train station, an underpass was built between Königsberger Strasse and Oberhofer Weg and a concise, four-story, clinker- clad signal tower made of reinforced concrete was built. The train station with pedestrian underpass and the signal box are under monument protection .
After the incorporation of Groß-Lichterfelde into Berlin by the Groß-Berlin-Gesetz of 1920, the station was named Lichterfelde Ost in 1925 , and since 1936 it has been called Berlin-Lichterfelde Ost .
As early as June 1903, the electrical test operation between the Potsdam Ringbahnhof and Groß-Lichterfelde Ost began with four-axle compartment cars converted into railcars, a power rail coated from above and 550 volts DC voltage. Because the form of operation proved its worth, it was retained as regular operation. In 1929 the line was incorporated into the emerging S-Bahn after the technical equipment and voltage had been adapted to the S-Bahn system.
With the closure of the Anhalter Bahnhof in 1952, the long-distance platforms in Lichterfelde Ost also went out of service and the station was only served by the S-Bahn, which was operated by the Deutsche Reichsbahn . Even after the Reichsbahn strike in 1980 , the line to Lichterfelde Süd still existed . Only after the takeover of the West Berlin S-Bahn operations by the BVG was operations stopped in 1984. In the late 1980s, plans were made to extend the U9 subway line via Lankwitz to Lichterfelde Süd, which has not yet been implemented . The line was to be integrated into the unused suburban tracks in Lankwitz .
After German reunification , the S-Bahn line was rebuilt and the station with an island platform reopened on May 28, 1995. The long-distance line was reopened together with the north-south long-distance line at the timetable change on May 28, 2006. Neither of the two former central platforms was reconstructed for local and long-distance traffic, but new side platforms were built on the two newly built through tracks and a new staircase built for travelers towards the city center. Travelers to the south, on the other hand, are guided via the stairs of the former central platform for long-distance trains to the new side platform, which has been moved to the southeast. The entrance to the former Nahverkersbahnsteig is still closed today.
Investments
The station has three platforms: an island platform for the S-Bahn in the northwest and two uncovered side platforms for regional traffic on the southeast. There is a sweeping system for the S-Bahn that is used to park trains. In the operational sense, the regional train station is a stopping point .
The former signal box was used as a restaurant until 2017. Another restaurant is located in the northwest entrance building. The station building and the pedestrian underpass are under monument protection.
In autumn 2007, the eastern station forecourt on Lankwitzer Strasse was redesigned, as access to the parking pallet was required for the new LIO shopping center (former station abbreviation in the Deutsche Reichsbahn operating point directory ) . This driveway, which disrupted pedestrian traffic, was dismantled after only a few years. Part of the area is now used for bicycle parking facilities.
