The Berlin Jungfernheide train station is a station for the S-Bahn , U-Bahn and railway traffic on the Ringbahn . It is located in the Berlin district of Charlottenburg-Nord .
The station has entrances at both platform ends, these lead through pedestrian tunnels to Max-Dohrn-Straße and Olbersstraße. Access to the underground station is also from the eastern pedestrian tunnel. In both streets there are bus stops near the train station as well as bicycle parking spaces and a P&R car park in the immediate vicinity . Elevators in the eastern pedestrian tunnel enable barrier-free access to all platforms.
S-Bahn station
After the Prussian King Wilhelm I had decided to build a circular railway around Berlin, traffic was started in several stages between 1871 and 1877. On May 1, 1894, a station of the same name with a central platform was added near Jungfernheide . Since 1908 also suburban railways should stop here, by the at the Spree nearby Lehrter station in the western suburbs Wustermark , Nauen and drove next to the existing platform A, a further (platform B) has been added.
In the 1920s, the suburban lines were gradually electrified with busbars , as the new S-Bahn system was to be introduced there. At Jungfernheide train station, this happened on platform B in 1929.
The Siemens group had financed a separate S-Bahn route for its workers with the Siemensbahn . This new line, built between 1927 and 1929, was connected at Jungfernheide station. For this purpose, a third was built a little further east of the existing platforms, which was designated "Platform C".
This led to the curiosity that the S-Bahn trains coming from Siemensbahn (from Gartenfeld ) stopped twice at the Jungfernheide station when they ended: first at platform B and after about 200 meters at platform C.
During the Second World War , operations continued until April 1945, when the Jungfernheide station was shut down. But already in June steam trains were running again in provisional traffic and from August electric trains.
In order to be able to shut down the Lehrter Bahnhof, which still handled suburban traffic to Wustermark and Nauen , the long-distance tracks of the Lehrter railway line from Jungfernheide to Spandau that remained - after the dismantling by the Soviet occupying forces - were also electrified. On August 28, 1951, S-Bahn trains from Spindlersfeld to Staaken ran here . The Lehrter station was closed, travelers to the surrounding area had to change to their suburban trains in Staaken and Falkensee .
Due to the S-Bahn boycott in West Berlin , passenger numbers fell rapidly. In return, numerous new underground lines were built, including underground line 7 to Spandau. For this purpose, platform C was demolished and platform B was widened. Changing from the S-Bahn to the U-Bahn was no longer possible, because after the Reichsbahn strike in September 1980, the S-Bahn at Jungfernheide station was completely shut down; only one trunk network in the city center was still operated by the Deutsche Reichsbahn .
From 1992 to 1994 regional trains ran provisionally from Jungfernheide in the direction of Nauen over the former S-Bahn track. A few months later, operations were discontinued and relocated to Westkreuz station so that the ring line could be reactivated here.
After years of work, the S-Bahn platform with the S-Bahn extension from Westend went into operation on April 15, 1997 . Now, after 17 years, S-Bahn trains ran here again. In 1999 the ring trains were already running to the Westhafen train station, two stops further . On June 15, 2002, the Ringbahn was fully operational again.
Since the end of 2015, train handling has been carried out by the driver using the driver's cab monitor (ZAT-FM).
Subway station
The Jungfernheide underground station was opened on October 1, 1980 on the occasion of the commissioning of the routes from Rohrdamm to Richard-Wagner-Platz on the U7 line. Originally, a change to the S-Bahn was planned here at this time . However, this had been shut down two weeks earlier as a result of the Reichsbahn strike.
As with all new Berlin subway buildings during this period, the design was done by the architect Rainer Gerhard Rümmler . The result was a train station decorated with colorful flower motifs fired on ceramic tiles , which, however, looks very dark due to the sparse lighting.
The station is laid out with two platforms on top of each other, as a connection to Tegel Airport was planned through the extended U5 underground line . For this purpose, the eastern edge of the platform would have been used on both levels. In view of the planned closure of Tegel Airport in favor of Berlin Brandenburg Airport (BER), these considerations will not be pursued further for the time being. The extension is planned in the zoning plan. Today the trains in the direction of Rudow stop at the upper platform and the trains in the direction of Spandau Town Hall stop at the lower platform .
On December 17, 1997, the underground station received an elevator that connects both platforms with the lobby.
The fire brigade training facility of the Berlin subway is located in part of the station and the adjoining unused section tunnel. It was inaugurated on July 14, 2003. The facility is 350 meters long, including a 90-meter smoke chamber. In addition to the BVG's own staff, the emergency training center (NÜC) also trains the fire brigade , police, emergency doctors and technical aid organizations in fire fighting and evacuation . An emergency exit can also be included in the exercises.
At the end of 2018, the underground station and twelve other stations were placed under monument protection as a witness to the West Berlin underground construction in the 1960s and 1970s .
Regional train station
The regional platform is on the tracks of the Berlin-Hamburg railway . This has been used again as a regional train station since May 28, 2006. At the same time, the new north-south railway tunnel , Berlin Central Station and three other train stations were inaugurated. The long-distance railway tracks of the Ringbahn run past to the south.
Before the Ringbahn was reactivated in this area, its platform B was used as a terminus for regional trains in the early 1990s.
Connection
The station is served by four regional lines, two lines of the S-Bahn and one line of the U-Bahn. You can change to bus lines X9, M21, M27 and 109 of the BVG .
