The Berlin Eichborndamm station is an S-Bahn station in the Berlin district of Reinickendorf in the district of the same name , right on the border with the district of Wittenau . The stop on the Kremmener Bahn is served by the S25 line of the Berlin S-Bahn .

Location and structure

The S-Bahn station is to the east of the flyover over Eichborndamm on the 8.5 km route of the Kremmener Bahn. Access is from this street through the abutment. The station has a central platform , with only the northern edge of the platform being served. The station does not have an independent reception building, the necessary facilities for passenger handling were housed in the access structure. This is constructed within the railway embankment as a three- bay groined vault with a round skylight in the middle bay . In the immediate vicinity on Eichborndamm and Antonienstraße there is a bus stop, bicycle parking spaces and a P&R car park.

At the level of the station, a siding branches off from the Kremmener Bahn to the north to the industrial area in Borsigwalde , which, starting from the Alt-Reinickendorf freight station, runs parallel to the S-Bahn track.

The station is a listed building .

history

construction

When the Kremmener Bahn was built, no train station was planned at this point. The Royal Railway Directorate rejected a request from residents, as the Dalldorf stop (today: Karl Bonhoeffer Psychiatric Clinic) on the northern railway was only 800 meters away.

Almost two weeks after the line went into operation, the Reinickendorfer Tageblatt reported on October 12, 1893: “A stop is to be set up between Dalldorf and Tegel at the exit of Eichbornstrasse near the newly created Wíttestrasse. The demands of the railroad: free handing over of the terrain and a grant of 4,500  Mk. This would also be an advantage for the six-class school in Neu-Reinickendorf. Then you no longer have to walk from Dalldorf over sand hills and pine bushes. "

It was possible to collect at least a large part of the required money, and on October 1, 1894, exactly one year after the line opened, an additional stop was opened under the name Eichbornstrasse . The facility initially consisted of a side station on the single-track, ground-level route. From 1900 the railway was expanded to two tracks and laid on a dam, in 1905 today's dam station was opened.

From March 16, 1927, the first electric suburban trains stopped at Eichbornstrasse station, and on December 1, 1930, the Berlin S-Bahn emerged from them.

West Berlin time

At the end of April 1945, the Reichsbahn ceased its S-Bahn operations, and the first trains did not start running again until July 19, albeit still with steam. The southern track was dismantled in 1945 or 1946 as a reparation payment . After the Wall was built , the S-Bahn no longer ran to Velten or Hennigsdorf , the terminus was Heiligensee .

In 1974/1975 the northern bridge over the Eichborndamm was renewed, and new bridges were built over it as part of the extension of the Antonienstraße. During the construction period, the southern platform track 1 was temporarily put into operation, then the traffic was relocated back to the northern platform track 2.

After the Reichsbahn strike in 1980 , the Kremmener Bahn initially remained in operation. With the takeover of the West Berlin S-Bahn by the Berliner Verkehrsbetriebe on January 9, 1984, the S-Bahn was shut down in this section.

Reopening after the fall of the wall

Platform with class 481 train (2012)

The reopening took place eleven years later on May 28, 1995. Before that, the northern bridge over the Eichborndamm was renewed and the stairway access and platform roof were renovated. To this day, the S-Bahn stops only at the northern edge of the platform, a reconstruction of the southern track is planned in the medium term as part of the restoration of the double track of the Kremmener Bahn.

In the meantime, the station was renamed from Eichbornstraße to Eichborndamm on May 29, 1994 , only 57 years after the name-giving street was renamed.

Planned expansion and renovation

An elevator was built in 2014 to provide barrier-free access to the platform. In the medium term, it is planned to renovate the entire route between the Schönholz and Tegel train stations and to expand it to two tracks in order to introduce, among other things, a 10-minute cycle to Tegel. In the course of this, the Eichborndamm station is to receive two tracks again.

Regardless of the condition of the entire route, the Senate Department for Transport is planning to build a second entrance to the station. Originally, this was planned until the end of 2017, but ultimately the planning including the planning approval procedure began in the second half of 2018. The plans take into account the possibility of putting the S-Bahn station back into operation on two tracks and between the existing S-Bahn track and the industrial track Build track for regional traffic. The second access is to be built in 2020 and put into operation by the end of 2020.

traffic
