The Berlin-Rahnsdorf station is an S-Bahn station of the Berlin S-Bahn . It is located in the Berlin district of the same name, Rahnsdorf, in the Treptow-Köpenick district .
history
The station opened on May 15, 1879. Between 1899 and 1902 the station was rebuilt under Karl Cornelius and Waldemar Suadicani . Decisive for the new building was the elevation of the line with the simultaneous construction of a separate pair of tracks for long-distance and freight traffic. The structure of the facility has largely been preserved and is a listed building.
On November 11, 1916, there was a serious railway accident : a gang of female track workers - women were deployed here due to the labor shortage in the First World War - waved to the soldiers of a passing military train. When visibility was poor due to fog, they failed to hear the warning signal - given too late - for a train approaching the track on which they were standing. 19 women were killed. The guard was sentenced to one year in prison .
From June 11, 1928, electric suburban traffic with railcars was taken up; since December 1, 1930 these have been summarized under the name " S-Bahn ". Steam train traffic initially ran parallel to the railcars for about half a year and was finally discontinued in 1929.
In April 1945 the train traffic had to be stopped due to the war . Later, both S-Bahn tracks were dismantled by the Soviet occupying forces. The line, including the station, was not put back into operation until September 1, 1948. Until November 2, 1948, the station was the terminus, as the line to Erkner had not yet been restored. Since then, the S-Bahn line to Erkner has been fully operational again.
In 2009 and 2010, the platform roof was renovated, the lighting systems were renewed and a guidance system for the blind was set up.
The S-Bahn station has been controlled by an electronic interlocking since the end of 2015 , in the course of which it was equipped with the ZBS electronic train control system .
As part of the expansion of the Berlin - Frankfurt (Oder) long-distance line, the track and overhead line systems in the area of the Berlin-Rahnsdorf station have also been rebuilt and the railway overpass from the road to Fichtenau has been renewed. The signal box at the station had to be demolished in this context.
Influence on the surrounding topography
While only a few people settled at the station itself and it is comparatively far away from larger settlements, the station had an influence on the development of the surrounding areas. As a result of the opening of the train station, the district of Fichtenau von Schöneiche in particular expanded across several streets to the train station, which led to a "nose" in the topography of the place.
traffic
The station is served by the Berlin S-Bahn line S3, which runs between Erkner and Spandau . Furthermore, the station is connected to the bus number 161 of the Berliner Verkehrsbetriebe and the starting point for the Woltersdorf tram (tram line 87 in the Berlin-Brandenburg transport association ).
