The Berlin-Wedding station is a city express and underground station in the Berlin district of Wedding in the Mitte district . It is located at the intersection of the Ringbahn and Müllerstraße and is served by the S41 and S42 lines of the S-Bahn and the U6 line of the Berlin U-Bahn . The connection to the main station via the future S21 is planned from summer 2021.
S-Bahn station
The S-Bahn station is located at route kilometer 2.5 of the Berlin Ringbahn and is between Müllerstrasse and Reinickendorfer Strasse with exits to both streets. The platform has a height of 96 centimeters and a length of 160 meters. The entire system consisting of the train station, the Ringbahn viaduct and the reception building on Reinickendorfer Straße at the level of Nettelbeckplatz are under monument protection .
The station was opened on May 1, 1872, making it one of the oldest along the Ringbahn. The line was raised in 1889/1890 and expanded from two to four lanes. As with the light rail, viaduct arches were created. The necessary service rooms and the reception building were integrated into this. In 1911/1912 an exit to Müllerstrasse was added to the facility. The electric suburban trains have been running at the station since February 1, 1929, from which the Berlin S-Bahn emerged on December 1.
The plans for the " world capital Germania " envisaged an extensive expansion of the Ringbahn and the construction of a northern passenger station between the S-Bahn stations Wedding and Putlitzstrasse (today: Westhafen). The suburban tracks of the S-Bahn should be relocated along the entire ring line on the inside. The plans were never carried out.
As a result of the second Reichsbahn strike , traffic was stopped on September 18, 1980. The reopening of the S-Bahn station took place at the end of the Ringbahn on June 15, 2002. The day was celebrated as "Wedding Day" based on the station name. In the course of the reopening, the platform was moved to the west to enable a better transition to the U6 line. The old access from the east still exists, but the relocation means that it is further away from the platform.
Since spring 2016, train handling has been carried out by the driver using a driver's cab monitor (ZAT-FM).
Coal station
On October 1, 1879, the Wedding coal station was put into operation to supply the surrounding districts. It was to the west of Wedding station on Fennstrasse and had seven unloading tracks that were perpendicular to the Ringbahn. The storage areas for the coal were located under these crash tracks.
Subway station
The underground station was opened in the course of the construction of the city's north-south railway on March 8, 1923 under the name Wedding station. The design corresponded to the scheme of the other underground stations on the line. The walls were kept white with green frames, the superstructures and supports were also kept in green, the 80 meter long central platform was paved. A single-track sweeping system was set up north of the underground station ; it could accommodate a type B 5-car train .
In 1971/1972 the platform was extended to the south to a length of 110 meters in order to enable the use of 6-car trains. The walls were given the orange tiles that are still available today. The addition station was omitted. A second sweeping system for a 6-car train was built south of the station.
Connection
In addition to lines S41 and S42 of the S-Bahn and line U6 of the underground, the Metrobus line M27 stops at the station.
