The Berlin-Schöneberg Railway Station is a Berlin S-Bahn station in the town district Schöneberg . It is located at the intersection of the Ringbahn and the Wannseebahn . In its current form as a tower station it was built in 1932/1933. The station complex from that time is also a listed building, as is the access from Ebersstrasse to the ring platform, which comes from a previous building of the station from 1897/98. An adjoining railway official's residence (Werlänge Weg 2), which belonged to the first Schöneberg train station in this area from the 1870s, is also a listed building.
The first Schöneberg train station
The first Schöneberg train station went into operation at the end of 1871. It was the end point of the first construction phase of the Berlin Ringbahn , which led from Moabit station in the north of the city via Gesundbrunnen , Rixdorf to Schöneberg. The station was on the Potsdamer Bahn a little southwest of today's Schöneberg station. It was designed in such a way that freight trains could easily pass from the Potsdam route to the Ringbahn. A connection to the Potsdam train station was not originally planned. However, it soon became necessary for the passenger trains running on the Ringbahn from January 1, 1872, which began or ended in Potsdam train station and had to change direction in Schöneberg.
In 1877 the Berlin Ringbahn was completed and the ring closed. It was no longer necessary to move the passenger trains at Schöneberg station. From 1881 the passenger trains were led over the Südringpitzkehre to the Potsdamer Bahnhof. An intermediate station, which was also given the name Schöneberg , later Kolonnenstraße , was built at this point at the height of today's Julius-Leber-Brücke station . It was in operation until the Südringspitzkehre closed in 1944.
From the time of the first Schöneberg train station, a listed railway officials' residence on Werführung Weg has been preserved.

The military station of the Royal Prussian Military Railway, built on October 15, 1875, was also located in Schöneberg . At that time it was to the east of the training area of the 2nd Railway Regiment and about 500 meters north of their barracks, about in the angle that is now formed by General-Pape-Strasse and Kolonnenstrasse. It was rebuilt and enlarged in 1890 and probably demolished again in 1919, according to other information in 1945.
Ringbahnhof Ebersstrasse
With the increasing development of Schöneberg, it became necessary to set up a stop in this area on the Ringbahn. On May 1, 1897, the Ebersstraße station went into operation on the Ringbahn west of the intersection with the Wannsee Railway. There was no possibility of changing to the nearby Wannseebahn.
The station building, designed by Fritz Klingholz , was built on a 20-meter-wide plot of land that was bordered by the surrounding buildings at the side and by the lining wall of the ring railway line to the rear . There is a distance of six meters between the property and the five-story buildings on either side. The building takes up the entire width. It is set back a little from the street so that a forecourt could be created. There is clearance to the rear to improve the lighting in the lobby. To the right of the hall were the ticket offices and toilets for the railway officials. Service rooms were provided on the left. The apartment of the stationmaster upstairs slept with three sides to the going over both floors foyer. The facade of the symmetrically held building is clinkered and is optically based on medieval gate structures. The tiled roof was originally crowned by a clock tower. The platform was on both sides of the access structure.
Today's Schöneberg train station
The situation changed with the electrification of the Wannseebahn in 1932/1933. The Wannseebahn was the only suburban line that had no possibility of changing to the circular railway. As a solution to this problem, the Ebersstrasse station, with the exception of its brick portico, was demolished and a tower station was built instead . A glazed hall was built for the Ringbahn, which is a little higher here. The new platform of the Ringbahn was clearly offset from the old platform to the east of the entrance to the old station building in Ebersstraße. When the electrification work on the Wannseebahn was completed, the station was opened under the name Schöneberg , while the station on the Südringpitzkehre, previously known as Schöneberg , had already been renamed Kolonnenstrasse the year before .
The facility survived the Second World War largely unscathed, and scheduled traffic could be resumed soon after the capitulation . As a result of the Reichsbahn strike of 1980 , both the Ringbahn and the Wannsee Railway were shut down. Only after the takeover of the West Berlin S-Bahn by the BVG could the Wannseebahn be reopened on February 1, 1985. Operation on the Ringbahn followed only four years after the fall of the Wall on December 17, 1993.
Between September 2010 and spring 2012 the bridge for the freight tracks of the ring railway at Schöneberg station was renewed. In contrast to the previous superstructure, a pillarless steel truss bridge was used. The currently disused freight tracks between Tempelhof and Halensee are to be repaired from 2013.
At the ring platform, the train driver handles the train using the driver's cab monitor (ZAT-FM). The suburban platform is one of 20 so-called main stations of the Berlin S-Bahn that is manned by local supervision.
There are two entrances to Schöneberg station, on the one hand from Ebersstraße to the ring platform and barrier-free from Dominicusstraße to the Wannseebahn with a barrier-free transition to the ring railway.
Connection
The S-Bahn station is the intersection of the Ringbahn and Wannseebahn and as such a transfer point between the S-Bahn lines S1, S41, S42 and S46. It is served on the Ringbahn by lines S41, S42 and S46 and on the Wannseebahn by line S1. There are also transfer options to the bus routes operated by the Berliner Verkehrsbetriebe.
