The S-Bahn Humboldthain is a breakpoint of the Berlin S-Bahn in the district of Gesundbrunnen the Mitte district of Berlin . It is located at route kilometer 1.2 of the Szczecin Railway in the immediate vicinity of the Humboldthain Volkspark .
Location and structure
The breakpoint is located between the Nordbahnhof and Gesundbrunnen station in a cut to the west of the Volkspark. About half of the 177-meter-long central platform is covered with a single-row riveted steel structure and is located on the suburban tracks of the Szczecin Railway. The platform can be reached barrier-free from Wiesenstraße via two staircases and an elevator at the southern end .
The reception building is on the south side of Wiesenstrasse. The counter hall is built in the New Objectivity style in the form of a regular heptagon . Below her there are further service rooms on two floors. The outer walls were originally clinkered and were mostly plastered after the Second World War . The interior is illuminated by skylights and has yellow ceramic tiles for the cladding.
The elevated road, which runs northwest parallel to the suburban tracks, is supported by a row of arcades built in 1895 from the train station to Humboldtsteg . On the side of the long-distance tracks towards Humboldthain, a stepped embankment wall was built during the construction of the S-Bahn station.
The facility, consisting of the station building, platform and embankment wall, is listed as a monument in the Berlin State Monument List.
history
The construction of the station became necessary for the first time in 1898 for the municipal construction deputation, as the pressure from the Allgemeine Elektricitäts-Gesellschaft to build a connection to the suburban railway tracks of the Szczecin station became stronger and stronger. During the negotiations with the Royal Railway Directorate in Berlin for the construction of a tunnel from the Szczecin Tunnel , considerations arose to build a stop in Humboldthain due to considerable cost savings. It was calculated with around 75,000 marks (adjusted for purchasing power in today's currency: around 514,000 euros) for the construction of the stop compared to 330,000 marks (today: around 2,263,000 euros) for the construction of the tunnel. However, the submission for the construction of the stop of November 18, 1898 (1574 B. II. 98) was rejected by the Minister of Public Works Karl von Thielen on May 12, 1899.
The S-Bahn station was built on January 8, 1934 as part of the construction of the north-south S-Bahn to open up the surrounding residential areas and the Volkspark. Since the existing area was partly heavily built-up, there was only a little space available for the construction of the station. The platform therefore had to be built in a curve. The meadow bridge was rebuilt and the north-western pillar was set back by about ten meters. The station building was erected on a small open space west of the meadow bridge, the pedestrian bridge to the platform is appropriately angled due to its location.
After a little more than a year of construction, the opening took place on January 21, 1935. The trains first drove to the Szczecin suburban station before being directed through the north-south tunnel from July 27, 1936.
In April 1945 the S-Bahn traffic in Berlin was stopped due to the war. From June 1945 onwards, steam-powered suburban trains were used, and electric trains stopped at the platform a short time later. As the tunnel ceiling of the north-south tunnel beneath the Landwehr Canal was blasted, it was impossible to drive on the same, so the trains first went to the Szczecin station (now the north station). From January 31, 1946, the tunnel was gradually put back into operation.
As a result of the construction of the wall in August 1961 and the subsequent boycott of the Berlin S-Bahn , the number of passengers at the station and in the entire West Berlin S-Bahn network fell rapidly and the facilities were left to decay. On January 9, 1984, the Reichsbahn handed over its operating rights to the S-Bahn in West Berlin to the Berliner Verkehrsbetriebe (BVG), which closed a large part of the routes due to their ailing condition. On May 1, 1984, the station including the north-south route from Anhalter Bahnhof to Gesundbrunnen was put back into operation. The necessary renovation was then carried out after German reunification together with the north-south tunnel between April 2, 1991 and March 1, 1992. In December 2011 an elevator and a second stairway access were put into operation.
Since spring 2016, train handling has been carried out by the driver using a driver's cab monitor (ZAT-FM).
