The Berlin Treptower Park train station is a train station in the Alt-Treptow part of the Treptow-Köpenick district of Berlin . It is the crossing station between the Ringbahn and the suburban line of the Görlitzer Bahn . Today it serves the traffic of the Berlin S-Bahn .

Location and structure

East exit to Treptower Park (July 1985).

The train station is located west of Treptower Park, parallel to Elsenstraße / An den Treptowers. Across Elsenstrasse is the listed medical center Treptow, which has been equipped with art in architecture (giant flowers) since 2012 . In the north, the Oberspree ring railway bridge connects to the tracks, in the south the overpass over the Puschkinallee.

The station has two central platforms  A and B for the S-Bahn, the outer tracks being on the ring line, the inner ones on the suburban tracks of the Görlitzer Bahn. The platforms are completely covered. The platform exits are at the southern end of the platform or at mid-height. The latter are each equipped with an elevator.

As two of the 20 so-called main stations of the Berlin S-Bahn, both S-Bahn platforms are manned by local supervision.

On the S-Bahn platform leading to the south, train handling is carried out by the driver using the driver's cab monitor (ZAT-FM).

history

Treptower Park S-Bahn station (November 1958).

The two platforms with a half-train of series 477 , before that with catenary spanned remote tracks (December 1994).

The first station in place of today's S-Bahn station was put into operation on February 1, 1875 under the name Treptow . It comprised two side platforms with a level transition to the then still double-track ring line. On October 1, 1885, the outer Görlitzer connection between the branches Vga on the Ringbahn and Vtw on the Görlitzer Bahn went into operation south of the station . It served both freight traffic to the Ringbahn and passenger traffic to the Stadtbahn , on which the long-distance trains that had previously used the Görlitz station were directed from 1886 . In 1888, the side platforms were replaced by a central platform with a passenger tunnel and a station building on Elsenstrasse was put into operation. The structure of the station building was similar to that of the other ring stations.

The Prussian House of Representatives passed a law on May 10, 1890 to expand the railway facilities in the Treptow area. In addition to the four-track expansion of the ring line between Stralau-Rummelsburg and Rixdorf , the construction of an additional double-track connection between Vga and Vtw was planned for passenger traffic. This connection branched off at ground level from the ring passenger tracks to the west and then led under the ring railway. The old outer Görlitz connection continued to be used for freight traffic. For the upcoming Berlin trade fair in 1896 , the proposed law was supplemented by the construction of a second central platform and an exhibition station on the Görlitzer Bahn. The new platform B was located between the newly built freight tracks and was linked to the passenger tracks via two switch connections at the Vga and Slb junction (near Stralau-Rummelsburg). During the exhibition, the ring passenger trains only drove to the new platform B while the old platform A was reserved for passenger trains on the route between Stadtbahn and Görlitzer Bahn. After that, the traffic on both routes was mainly handled via platform A. Both platforms only had to be used on Sundays in the summer schedule.

Between 1903 and 1906, the Görlitzer Bahn to the south was provided with a pair of tracks for suburban trains. Since the Görlitz station on the one hand had insufficient capacity to accommodate the trains, and on the other hand the trains could not continue into the inner city of Berlin, the suburban tracks at the Treptow station were removed from the ring line. The connection Vga - Vtw established in 1896 was integrated into the new line. Since only four tracks were still available between Treptow and Stralau-Rummelsburg, the entire node was extensively expanded between 1907 and 1921. First of all, the level-free separation at Vga was lifted and the ring passenger tracks were placed on the outside of the suburban tracks so that directional operation was possible on both platforms. Freight traffic received a new pair of tracks east of the platforms. Between 1914 and 1921, the Spree Bridge to the north was expanded to include another six-track bridge.

In 1924, the electrification of the Berlin city, ring and suburban railways began, on November 6, 1928, the electrified ring railway tracks from Neukölln to Treptow and the south ring curve to Warschauer Strasse went into operation. On February 1, 1929, the tracks to the Nordring and the Görlitzer suburban railway to Baumschulenweg followed . To the northwest of the platforms, the Treptow substation, designed according to plans by Reichsbahn architect Richard Brademann , went into operation. Since October 3, 1937, the station has been called Treptower Park .

During the Second World War , the reception building was destroyed and the Spree bridges were damaged. Train traffic came to a standstill in April 1945 and was resumed from June 1945. The first trains with a stop in Treptower Park ran on the Ringbahn to Neukölln. In February 1946, the connections across the Spree and in the direction of Baumschulenweg could then be put back into operation.

On May 26, 1952, the GDR increased border controls for travelers heading towards West Berlin . Since the ring line between Treptower Park and Sonnenallee crossed the sector border on its way to Neukölln, temporary platforms were set up south of the station on the ring tracks from February 1953. However, the platforms never went into operation, so the controls took place during the stay in Treptower Park. When the Wall was built on August 13, 1961, the connection to West Berlin was interrupted and the trains going south were directed exclusively to the Görlitzer Bahn. The unused track systems were largely dismantled by 1981 when the bridge structures at the intersection of the Görlitzer and Ringbahn were renewed.

With German reunification , closing the gap between Treptower Park and Sonnenallee was also up for debate. However, the project could not be implemented until December 18, 1997, because on the one hand the track connections at Treptower Park had to be restored and on the other hand the ring line and the planned extension of the A 100 city motorway should not interfere with each other. Treptower Park station was previously renovated between August 1995 and August 1997 and made accessible to the disabled.

Connection

The S-Bahn station is the transfer point between the trains of the Ringbahn in the direction of Ostkreuz and Neukölln and the lines running over the Görlitzer Bahn in the direction of Baumschulenweg. The connecting curve leading to the north to the Warschauer Strasse S-Bahn station and on to the Stadtbahn is currently not being used due to construction work at Ostkreuz. The platforms are used in the direction of operation, platform A is used by trains in the direction of Neukölln and Baumschulenweg, platform B is used by trains to Ostkreuz.

There are transfer options between lines S41, S42, S8, S85 and S9 of the S-Bahn Berlin as well as to several bus lines of the Berlin transport company . Until January 2, 1952, there was also a connection to the tram .
