The Wuhlheide Station is a Berlin S-Bahn station at the Märkischen Niederschlesisch Railroad (railway line Berlin- Frankfurt (Oder) ). It is served by the S3 line and is located at the intersection of the railway with the Berlin outer ring on Rudolf-Rühl-Allee in the Köpenick district . South of the train station is the terminus of the Berlin Park Railway , which opens up the area of the leisure and recreation center (FEZ). The station should not be confused with the now demolished Wuhlheide marshalling yard on the outer ring.
history
In the winter of 1877/1878 the station was opened as a Sadowa stop at the intersection with several forest paths and roads. It got its name after the excursion restaurant of the same name, which was located south of the confluence of the Wuhle in the Spree and was named after the Bohemian town of Sadowa , the main scene of the battle of Königgrätz in the Austro-Prussian War of 1866. In 1902 the line received its own pair of tracks for suburban trains. In the course of the expansion, the station was also expanded and received the typical Berlin platform roof and a glazed so-called “greenhouse corridor”. In 1929 the station was renamed Wuhlheide after the forest area of the same name that extends around the station.
Around 1940, the Berlin Güteraußenring was built immediately to the west of the S-Bahn station and crosses the main line over a bridge structure. After the end of the war , the line was initially removed, but rebuilt two years later. From July 1948 diesel multiple units were used in suburban traffic, coming from Kaulsdorf on the so-called VnK route and the outer freight ring to Grünau . At the cross with the Lower Silesian-Märkische Bahn, a stop was set up for the change, a direct crossing was not set up between the two platforms, above and below, however. Since the route ran through almost uninhabited area, traffic was stopped after just under a year. The platform on the outer ring was later removed. From 1951 the outer ring of goods was replaced by the outer ring of Berlin , which follows a similar, partly identical course in this area.
The Berliner Parkeisenbahn , which has been a pioneer railway since 1950 on a circular route through the then Pioneer Park Ernst Thälmann , was extended to the S-Bahn station in 1993 and was given a double-track terminus south of the railway line with the possibility of relocation. This has given it a better connection to local public transport. In July 2011, an elevator was put into operation at the western end of the platform, so the station is barrier-free accessible.
Since the end of 2015, the S-Bahn station has been controlled by an electronic interlocking equipped with the ZBS electronic train control system. At the same time, a track change to the east of the platform was put into operation.
Connection
The station is served by the S3 line of the Berlin S-Bahn. In front of the north-western exit there is a possibility to change to bus line 190 of the Berliner Verkehrsbetriebe .
