The Blankenfelde (Kr Teltow-Fläming) station is a regional and S-Bahn station in the village Blankenfelde the Brandenburg community Mahlow . The station comprises two structurally separate breakpoints . The Blankenfelde (Kr Teltow-Fläming) stop with a central platform for regional and long-distance traffic is located south of the Karl-Marx-Straße level crossing , the Blankenfelde (Kr Teltow-Fläming) S-Bahn to the north and west of the long-distance railway tracks. This is the end point of line S2 of the Berlin S-Bahn .
Location and structure
The station is located in the middle of the Blankenfelde district at 19.4 km of the Berlin – Dresden railway line . The long-distance tracks are connected to the Berlin outer ring via connecting curves at the Glasower Damm Süd junction to the north . A long-distance track and the S-Bahn track lead over the outer ring to Berlin ; both tracks will be brought together in front of Mahlow station .
The 229 meter long long-distance platform has a platform height of 76 centimeters and is roofed over a length of around 30 meters. The 180 meter long and 96 centimeter high platform of the S-Bahn is offset from this and has a platform edge. For structural reasons, it is three meters above the level of the long-distance tracks. The long-distance platform has a pedestrian tunnel with exits on both sides of the tracks and a level exit to the Karl-Marx-Strasse level crossing. The S-Bahn platform can be reached via stairs and a ramp.
history
When the Dresden Railway opened , Blankenfelde had around 560 residents. The nearest train station was in Mahlow , just under three kilometers away , and from 1884 there was a stop in Dahlewitz , one and a half kilometers south of Blankenfelde. At the level crossing with the road from Blankenfelde to Glasow in the distance kilometer 19.4 there was a barrier post at the time , which was extended by a block post around 1920 . In 1928, the Süd-Berlin-Boden-Gesellschaft acquired most of the former Blankenfelde manor district and began to subdivide the site and then sell it to interested parties. As a result, there was brisk construction activity, which caused the population to rise to around 6,000 by the beginning of the Second World War . In 1930 the Deutsche Reichsbahn approved the construction of a new station in Blankenfelde, which was not carried out despite financial commitments from the municipality. From 1940, the electric S-Bahn ran along the Dresden Railway to Rangsdorf . As part of the redesign of the railway systems in Greater Berlin , a stop in Blankenfelde was also planned around 1941, and the S-Bahn traffic was to be on its own pair of tracks west of the existing line. The plans were not implemented as a result of the war.
After the war, the second track was dismantled as a reparation payment to the Soviet Union and the Blankenfelde block post was taken out of service. The first long-distance trains started running in the summer of 1945, and the S-Bahn ran from Mahlow to Rangsdorf from October 1, 1945 . Due to the influx of around 2500 resettlers, the population of Blankenfeld rose to over 8000. Negotiations between the mayor and the Reichsbahndirektion Berlin showed that the management was in favor of building a train station. However, due to a lack of funds, the new building had to be carried out entirely by the municipality, which was also supposed to bear the operating costs for the first five years. The plan was to build a central platform, which could be realized structurally without any problems. Due to the lack of a second track, one edge of the platform should remain temporarily unused. Since there was only a 40-minute cycle on the S-Bahn, the Reichsbahn also made the reconstruction of the second track from Marienfelde to Mariendorf a prerequisite. Work on this began in 1949.
The district of Teltow provided 50,000 DM for the new building . The district demanded a stake of three marks per inhabitant (around 20,000 DM) from the community, which the community in turn increased to 36,000 DM. In addition to donations, the amount was also provided in the form of work (so-called subbotnik ). The groundbreaking ceremony began in mid-March . For the construction, the municipality tried to deliver concrete support parts to save cement. The National Front, which was responsible for the construction activities, solved the problem in an unconventional way by removing the central platform of the Birkengrund Nord stop on the Anhalter suburban railway and rebuilding it in Blankenfelde. The platform itself was built from precast concrete with a height of 96 centimeters. About three quarters of the platform was removed in ten work assignments and rebuilt in Blankenfelde. Delays occurred in the spring of 1950 because the western edge of the platform had not been completed and building materials for the station building were missing. With the approval of further materials, the construction could then be completed by autumn 1950 and the opening of the timetable change on October 8, 1950.
At the time of commissioning, the stop was called Blankenfelde (Kr Teltow) . S-Bahn and long-distance train shared the track, and from October 1953 long-distance trains also stopped in Blankenfelde. The joint operation of suburban and long-distance trains led to a schedule that was prone to disruption. Therefore, the second track from Blankenfelde to Rangsdorf was restored and released on May 18, 1952 at the latest. On the same day, the Anhalter Bahnhof in Berlin was closed to rail traffic and trains to Berlin were directed via the Berlin outer ring . This crossed the Dresdener Bahn north of Blankenfelde since 1951 and was connected to it via a connecting curve. Instead of a two-track mixed operation, long-distance and S-Bahn were operationally separated from each other, i.e. two single-track lines running side by side were operated. In the following year, on May 18, 1953, the station was renamed Blankenfelde (Kr Zossen) after the district reform . At the end of the 1950s, a south-westerly connecting curve was created between the Dresden Railway and the outer ring. In order not to obstruct the S-Bahn traffic, the second track between Blankenfelde and Mahlow was rebuilt and the S-Bahn traffic was relocated to the new track, the former common track was only used for long-distance and freight traffic.

The building of the wall interrupted the S-Bahn traffic north of Mahlow. A train that was still commuting between Mahlow and Rangsdorf was discontinued in September 1961 and the trains between Rangsdorf and Wünsdorf were extended to Mahlow. From May 1963 these suburban trains were directed to Schönefeld via the outer ring . In order to continue to connect Mahlow, a separate platform was laid north of the level crossing and the short stretch was served by a shuttle train. Diesel locomotives of the V 15 series with a control car were used during the first few years. Due to the blue paintwork of the locomotives, this connection was nicknamed “Blauer Bock”, based on an entertainment program broadcast at the same time . Rail buses of the VT 2.09 series were later used on the shuttle line . Since there was no space to the west of the existing platform and the connecting curves to the outer ring were to be crossed at the same level, the platform for the "Blauer Bock" had to be offset from the long-distance platform and three meters higher than it. On July 23, 1987, the Karl-Marx-Strasse level crossing was provided with train-operated half barriers, which enabled the barrier post to be abandoned.
After the reunification, the connection of the West Berlin S-Bahn network with the Brandenburg area was tackled. Since the Dresdener Bahn was electrified with alternating current from 1982 onwards , a completely new track would have to be built for the S-Bahn to go back to Rangsdorf. Therefore it was limited to a restart to Blankenfelde, where a switch to regional traffic was made. The "Blue Bock" was discontinued on September 16, 1991 and the affected section was converted for electrical operation. The side platform was removed and rebuilt in the same place. A new installation next to the long-distance platform - at the same height or on the embankment - was rejected because on the one hand the steep slope north of the platform and on the other hand the tight schedule spoke against it. On August 31, 1992, the S-Bahn traffic from Lichtenrade via Mahlow to Blankenfelde was resumed. The station received its current name on June 2, 1996.
Transport links
Until the end of the 1950s, Blankenfelde was only served by trains of the Berlin S-Bahn. A little later, a small amount of suburban traffic was started on the long-distance track, with which West Berlin could be bypassed. In 1960 three trains in the direction of Berlin and four trains in the direction of Berlin stopped in Blankenfelde, including an express train approved for use with S-Bahn tickets. After the wall was built, the only way to travel in the direction of Berlin was via the Berlin-Schönefeld Airport train station. In Blankenfelde, double-decker trains stopped about every hour between Berlin-Schönefeld, some of them from Berlin-Schöneweide and Wünsdorf ; a connecting train shuttled between Blankenfelde and Mahlow.
After the fall of the Berlin Wall and the re-commissioning of the S-Bahn to Blankenfelde, regional traffic continued to use the route via Schönefeld, with trains going to Berlin about twice an hour. In the 1990s, Blankenfelde was also a stop on a line from Potsdam to Wünsdorf, but this line was discontinued after a few years. There were efforts to make Blankenfelde a stop for interregional trains, but the Deutsche Bahn did not implement them. Since the north-south long-distance line went into operation in Berlin in 2006, trains to Berlin have been running alternately on the new line or via Schönefeld to the Berlin light rail.
Today the station is served by the S2 line every 20 minutes as well as the regional express lines RE5 and RE7, which run every hour . You can change to the bus lines of the Teltow-Fläming transport company .
