Location and structure

Platform train station Botanical Garden in Berlin

The train station is located in the Lichterfelde district of the Steglitz-Zehlendorf district . The neighboring stations are Rathaus Steglitz , 1.3 kilometers away, and Lichterfelde West , exactly one kilometer away.

The station has a central platform that is 204 meters long, an entrance at the southwest end of the platform and an adjacent residential and reception building. The lower part of the house is solidly bricked and plastered above. The entrance area, like the direct access from the bridge , has been designed in Art Nouveau style. The staircase was designed as a "greenhouse corridor" based on the Botanical Garden, this shape was subsequently used at other Berlin S-Bahn stations. The substructure of the stairs and the platform superstructures are decorated with red and white tiles laid out in a checkerboard pattern . Next to the staircase there is a later built-in elevator system , which is optically based on the staircase.

The complex was designed by architects Gustav Erdmann and Ernst Spindler designed and is now in its entirety under monument protection .

history

Reception building and access structure

The construction of the station was initiated by the Terraingesellschaft Botanischer Garten after they carried out the parceling of the area between the rural communities of Steglitz and Lichterfelde at the beginning of the 20th century . The building should act as the center of this new settlement area. The opening took place on May 1, 1909 after about a year of construction. In the period that followed, building activity began in accordance with the expectations of the property company.

From May 15, 1933, the station was served by the electric trains of the Berlin S-Bahn . Operations lasted with interruptions between April and June 1945 until the Reichsbahn strike in 1980 . On September 18, 1980, the S-Bahn traffic on the Wannseebahn was stopped. After the handover of the S-Bahn operating rights from the Deutsche Reichsbahn to the Berliner Verkehrsbetriebe (BVG), the latter began to renovate the Wannseebahn and its stations. It was reopened on February 1, 1985, and since then it has been served by the S1 line. After the reopening, other minor work was carried out, including the installation of an elevator.

Since the Moltkebrücke , on which the access to the station is located, will have to be replaced by a new building in two construction phases from the end of 2020, a makeshift walkway bridge will enable access to the station "largely barrier-free" for the time of the two-year construction work.
