Two train stations of the Deutsche Bahn and one underground station of the BVG on the street of the same name in the Berlin district of Schöneberg are referred to as Yorckstraße station . These are two operationally separate S-Bahn stations that are 250 meters apart, as well as the underground station in between:
- the S-Bahn station Yorckstraße (Großgörschenstraße) on the north-south S-Bahn ( line S1 ),
- the S-Bahn station Yorckstraße on the Anhalter Vorortbahn ( lines S2 , S25 and S26) and
- the underground station Yorckstraße on the U7 line .
The long-distance tracks of the Berlin – Magdeburg line that are no longer in use run parallel to the S-Bahn tracks in the west. In the east, the long-distance tracks of the Anhalter Bahn and Dresdener Bahn were located ; today, part of the facilities is used by the north-south Long-distance railway used. There was and is no operating point on the long-distance tracks in this area. Immediately north of the two S-Bahn stations, the railway lines cross Yorckstrasse on the listed Yorckbrücken .
Old train station Großgörschenstrasse
The station was opened on October 1, 1891 as Großgörschenstrasse station on the New Wannseebahn , which was laid as a separate suburban railway next to the tracks of the Berlin – Magdeburg railway line . The section between Berlin and Potsdam, opened in 1838, was the first railway line in Prussia ("Stammbahn") and was extended to Magdeburg shortly afterwards . As early as 1881, the Schöneberg station (later called Kolonnenstrasse , since 2008 in a similar location Julius-Leber-Brücke ) was opened on the parallel tracks of the Südringpitzkehre from the " Ring - und Vorortbahnhof" Potsdamer Platz to the Ringbahn . There was also a platform at the main line. For reasons of space, after the construction of the separate suburban tracks, no suburban platform was possible, so that the Großgörschenstraße station had to be built further north to replace it. There was a connecting corridor between the two stations, the so-called "Muttonweg".
As early as 1883, a platform for "High Lords" called Hofstation had gone into operation. It was east of the Großgörschenstrasse suburban train station and north of the pedestrian tunnel. The court station served the German Emperor and the Crown Prince when they held military parades on the Tempelhof field . It was given up in 1911.
In the course of the “Great Electrification” of the “S-Bahn”, which opened in December 1930, in 1924, electrical operation was started on the entire Wannsee Railway in 1933.

Yorckstraße station (Großgörschenstraße)
The southern section of the north-south tunnel of the S-Bahn, built from 1934 onwards , could only be opened to traffic in autumn 1939. To connect it, the long-distance and S-Bahn tracks of the main line were swapped. As a result, the old Großgörschenstrasse station was closed and on October 9, 1939 a new station, initially intended as a temporary measure, was put into operation. It is located northeast of the old train station between the Großgörschenstrasse pedestrian tunnel and Yorckstrasse. The station initially retained the old name Großgörschenstrasse .
When it went into operation, plans for a reorganization of the railway facilities in Berlin were already in place. That is why the station was only given a simple roof on wooden posts. Due to the war , the renovations were no longer carried out, so that the provisional station is still in operation today.
After the Reichsbahn strike in Berlin in 1980 , the station was closed. The S-Bahn trains of the Dresdener Bahn and Anhalter Bahn had until then been serviced in the Nordbahnhof S-Bahn depot . After the takeover of the Berlin S-Bahn by the BVG on January 9, 1984, the depot in East Berlin had to be closed; the trains were now transferred to Wannsee via the Wannsee Railway. Passenger traffic was resumed about a year later on February 1, 1985.
On May 31, 1992, the Großgörschenstraße station was renamed Yorckstraße (Großgörschenstraße) . This should make it clear that it is a transfer station to the Yorckstraße underground station, the name affix points to the difference to the Yorckstraße station on the S2, S25 and S26 lines.
An elevator was installed in 2012, making the platform barrier-free . In 2013, work began on renewing the overpasses of the S-Bahn tracks over Yorckstrasse and over the Großgörschenstrasse pedestrian tunnel.
Since spring 2016, train handling has been carried out by the driver using a driver's cab monitor (ZAT-FM).
The station is listed under the name BGGS in the operating point directory.

Yorckstrasse S-Bahn station
The station on the Anhalter suburban railway was opened on May 1, 1903. The station was served by the suburban trains coming from the Potsdam ring and suburban railway station; the long-distance trains continued to run to the Anhalter Bahnhof east of the suburban tracks . A short time after the station went into operation, a trial operation with traction current was introduced for suburban traffic to the Groß-Lichterfelde Ost train station .
In the course of the “Great Electrification” , the changeover to the system still in use today took place in 1929, using a busbar with 800 volts DC voltage attached to the side and coated from below ; the test farm used a top-coated rail and 750 volts DC voltage. However, since the changeover only affected the Anhalter Bahn route, steam-powered suburban trains were still running on the Dresden Railway, which resulted in mixed operation at Yorckstrasse station. This operation to the Potsdam Ringbahnhof ended on November 6, 1939, since then the trains have been entering the new north-south tunnel just north of Yorckstrasse and ending in the northern Berlin towns of Bernau and Velten . The Dresden railway was also electrified for a few weeks .
A few hours before General Helmuth Weidling gave the order to end the fighting in Berlin , the ceiling of the north-south tunnel under the Landwehr Canal was blown up by SS units on May 2, 1945 at 7:55 a.m. In addition to the tunnel, large parts of the subway network were also flooded. (see: History of the Berlin U-Bahn ). When traffic resumed after the surrender , the trains ended at Yorckstrasse station. It was not until mid-November 1947 that operations could be resumed via the north-south tunnel.
The 1980 Reichsbahnerstreik initially had no impact on operations at Yorckstrasse station. The Anhalter and Dresdener Bahn were among the few lines that were still operated by the Deutsche Reichsbahn . It was not until the BVG took over the operating rights in 1984 that traffic on the Anhalter Bahn was discontinued, while the other suburban line continued to be operated with the line designation "S2". The only exception was the double-track expansion of the line in 1988, when the Yorckstraße station was also temporarily closed.
In the mid-1980s, it was planned to relocate the S2 over the route of the Ringbahn and Wannseebahn in order to dismantle the old route including the Yorckstraße S-Bahn station and thus gain space for the new construction of the 103 federal motorway . After the motorway planning was discontinued, this was not pursued further.
The German railway plans to use the station as part of the renewal of the Yorck bridges redesign from the 2017th At the request of the State of Berlin, the platform is also to be widened and traffic to the north via Yorckstrasse is to be improved. A new elevator to be built there will then provide barrier-free access from street level to the S-Bahn platform. The cost of the measure is estimated at around four million euros. The renovation did not start in 2017. So far there is no date for the renovation.
The station is listed under the name BYOR in the operating point directory. The access building and the platform, built in 1903 based on designs by the architect Karl Cornelius , are listed as historical monuments .

Yorckstrasse underground station

After the north-south subway with its southern branches to Tempelhof and Neukölln had been separated into two separate lines, the existing line 7, which ran on the Möckernbrücke - Britz-Süd route, was also to be extended to the west. In 1964, the first construction work began on the new route to Fehrbelliner Platz on Yorckstrasse. Work there continued until 1967. Here - for the first time on the Berlin U-Bahn - shield tunneling was used over a distance of 286 meters. This was necessary in order to drive under the S-Bahn station Großgörschenstrasse in an S-curve.
A train station was to be built on Yorckstrasse. As was customary at the time, Rainer G. Rümmler took on the design of the station. He embossed the track back walls with red-orange, small-scale tiles , which are interrupted by a white 20 centimeter long strip on which the station name is written in black block letters. The platform, 110 meters long and 7.1 meters underground, was given two-row columns, which in turn are decorated with small white tiles. The station was put into operation on January 29, 1971 in connection with the extension of the U7 line from Möckernbrücke to Fehrbelliner Platz.
An elevator was to be installed by 2015 and the train station expanded to be barrier-free ; 2.6 million euros were earmarked for this.
The elevator went into operation on November 30, 2016. The cost of building the elevator, which began in February 2016, amounted to around 600,000 euros.
The station is to be completely renovated from 2019. Among other things, the false ceiling will be removed, which will make the station around 1.5 meters higher. There will be no more tiles on the walls, they will be painted in the future. In addition, a new reception building is being built at the eastern end, in which a second elevator will be installed.
Transitions
The underground station had an exit to the two S-Bahn stations at each end. However, direct and weather-protected accesses to the two express train stations were not implemented.
When changing between the S-Bahn station Yorckstraße and the U-Bahn, the busy Yorckstraße had to be crossed. Since this no longer seemed acceptable after the BVG took over the S-Bahn in 1984, a makeshift pedestrian bridge was built in December 1985, which created an additional S-Bahn exit on the other side of the street. This bridge still stands today.
The rapid transit node is connected via two stops of the line M19 to the bus network of the BVG connected.
