The southern one leads over the tracks to Märkische Allee and Wiesenburger Weg. The middle entrance and exit also has an elevator and connects the platform directly with the Eastgate shopping center . From the station a chain siding for Knorr brakes work in Bürknersfelde from.

history

The Marzahn station was put into operation on May 1, 1898 with the Wriezener Bahn . In addition to a side platform for passenger traffic, the station also had facilities for freight traffic from the start. Initially, the route, and thus also the station, was outside the Berlin suburban tariff. In 1914, the station was given a central platform instead of the side platform.

The National Socialists' plans to expand the Berlin S-Bahn network from 1937 envisaged the expansion of the S-Bahn network to Werneuchen , up to and including Marzahn, two pairs of tracks were to be built for the S-Bahn as well as for long-distance and freight traffic, behind which there was a joint operation intended for a double-track route. As a first step, the suburban tariff to Werneuchen was introduced in 1938 . After 1945, crossing track 1 was dismantled as a reparation payment to the USSR .

In order to relieve the Berlin-Lichtenberg station , which gradually assumed the function of a central station for East Berlin after 1952 , it was planned to reduce suburban traffic on the Wriezener Bahn to Marzahn while at the same time extending the S-Bahn to there. The later S-Bahn platform was built in 1969/70 and replaced the lower platform from the opening time. From September 25, 1976, the suburban trains ended permanently in Marzahn. The electric S-Bahn reached the station on December 30th of the same year. The S-Bahn line ran on a single track between Springpfuhl and Marzahn, in Marzahn there was a platform-level transfer option. For the commissioning of the second S-Bahn track, a makeshift platform had to be built in 1979 at the northern end of the S-Bahn platform to open up the second platform edge for the S-Bahn. From December 15, 1980, the S-Bahn continued to Otto-Winzer-Strasse (since 1992: Mehrower Allee), the suburban trains were relocated there a month and a half later on February 1, 1981, and the temporary platform was removed. Since December 30, 1982, Ahrensfelde was the common endpoint of both modes of transport. The station building from 1898 was demolished around the turn of 1979/80. In 1984 the station was connected to the Bik relay interlocking at Biesdorfer Kreuz and the Mar mechanical interlocking was tied.

With the construction of the Eastgate shopping center on Märkische Allee in 2005, considerations arose for the first time to build a regional platform in addition to the S-Bahn station. The Berlin passenger association IGEB also supports this idea. a. to strengthen the overall attractiveness of the Wriezener Bahn. However, a regional train stop in Marzahn is currently not being pursued by the State of Berlin and is not included in the urban development plan for traffic. For any later developments, however, area clearance is taken into account.

In order to also better develop the area west of the S-Bahn station from this, a realization contract was concluded between the district, DB Netz and DB Station & Service in 2012, which allows the barrier-free extension of the existing (middle) pedestrian bridge to Wiesenburger Weg and the dismantling of the includes southern footbridge. This is financed by the Marzahn-Hellersdorf district office. DB Netz will then rebuild the southern bridge between the forecourt and the S-Bahn platform as part of the service and financing agreement, but no barrier-free expansion is planned here. Originally, the middle pedestrian bridge was to be extended to Wiesenburger Weg by 2018. The bridge is intended to replace the old, non-wheelchair-accessible connection from the train station to the Marzahn park cemetery . The construction work began in September 2017, the costs of 5.2 million euros are borne by the federal and state governments. The completion of the bridge extension was originally planned for summer 2018, but has been delayed several times due to planning and construction defects and is now expected in 2020. The southern pedestrian bridge is to be demolished in 2021 and partially rebuilt in the second half of 2022.
