The station Großbeeren is a train station in the same place at the Anhalt line south of Berlin . The train station, inaugurated in 1841, is one of the oldest train stations in Brandenburg . The station building, which is no longer used today, is a listed building.
location
The station is located south of Berlin on the Berlin – Halle railway line, about two kilometers west of Großbeeren. It is connected to the Berlin outer ring via connecting curves . The B 101 and the Berlin motorway ring are nearby .
history
The station until 1933
When the Anhalter Bahn opened, Großbeeren was initially just a water station to supply the steam locomotives, but from the start there was interest in a stop for passenger traffic. The Vossische Zeitung wrote in an article on July 3, 1841 on the occasion of the opening of the route:
“One should consider that Großbeeren, if a stopping point is set up there, could easily become a place of amusement which, because of its graceful location and historical memories, would like to fly over many others; only one has to reduce the prices significantly .. "
Just a few months after the line was opened, the stopping point in Großbeeren went into operation on October 16, 1841. Before that, there had already been special trips there on August 29 to mark the anniversary of the Battle of Großbeeren . The opening happened in connection with the start of freight traffic on the route. In the first few years there and at the Ludwigsfelde station, which was opened at the same time as Großbeeren, only one freight train with passenger transport stopped during the day, with which one could return to Berlin in the morning and in the afternoon. In 1849 Großbeeren was initially only a stop for all scheduled passenger trains for the summer schedule, but soon all year round. Initially, as it is today, the station was called Großbeeren . For several decades from the later 1840s it was called Groß-Bereren .
The original station building was south of the road to Neubeeren. In 1868, the large station building north of the street, which has been preserved to this day, was built, but like its predecessor on the western side of the track system facing away from the town. The first building was preserved as a residential building and was probably only demolished when the route was expanded around 1940.
For the expansion of the station in 1867/68, part of the land of the Großbeeren landowner had to be expropriated, as the latter refused to sell the land. Von Briesen had already shown himself to be an opponent of the railroad.
On December 1, 1926, as part of the expansion of the bypass line, a connection from Großbeeren to Michendorf went into operation, with which the Anhalter Bahn was connected to the Seddin marshalling yard . Plans to extend the Großbeeren bypass towards the east were initially not implemented.
Remodeling around 1940
After the National Socialists came to power, the government planned a gigantic redesign of the railway systems in the Berlin area as part of the planning for the world capital Germania . Part of this project was a large marshalling yard near Großbeeren and new connecting lines from there for freight traffic to the northeast ( outer freight ring ) and to the southeast to the Dresden railway near Zossen. Due to the outbreak of war, these projects could only be partially, delayed and only implemented in rudimentary form. The marshalling yard went into operation on August 15, 1941 in a significantly scaled-down form as the Großbeeren auxiliary shunting yard ; the outer freight ring was also only provisionally and single-tracked as a provisional outer freight ring on December 16, 1940. Of the planned route in the direction of Zossen, which should go into operation in 1940 and connect the marshalling yard with the Dresden Railway, only a few preliminary construction work was carried out. Other projects in the Großbeeren area were a railway depot , a local freight station and a stretch to the west as an extension of the outer freight ring via Seehof and Stahnsdorf to Potsdam with a connection to the Großbeeren marshalling yard.
In order to relieve the Anhalter Bahn from freight traffic, a freight line to the Tempelhof marshalling yard was planned parallel to it. First, a construction line was completed, which was later released for regular freight operations. The facilities of the marshalling yard extended east of the Anhalter Bahn over a length of five kilometers and reached as far as the Teltow station.
Major changes were also planned for passenger transport in the Großbeeren area. Among other things, suburban and long-distance traffic should be separated. To the west of the reception building, the new suburban tracks of the Anhalter suburban railway were opened in 1943 and were provided with temporary platforms. Original plans provided for an extension of the Berlin direct current S-Bahn to Ludwigsfelde. This did not happen, however, the S-Bahn was only extended to Lichterfelde Süd.
After the Second World War
After the end of the war, the tracks of the auxiliary shunting yard and a number of other track systems were dismantled as reparations . The Anhalter Bahn was divided as a result of the border between West Berlin and the GDR. Until 1952 there were still through local trains to Berlin Anhalter Bahnhof, until 1961 there was still a transfer connection with the S-Bahn from Teltow station. Until 1951, local transport still used the suburban tracks from the 1940s, since then they have switched in Großbeeren in the direction of Teltow from the long-distance track of the Anhalter Bahn to the remaining former construction company track. The tracks on the embankment west of the station were dismantled.
The construction of the Berlin Wall then finally separated the route for a long time. Großbeeren and Teltow could only be reached from the south. Long-distance and freight traffic from Berlin to Anhalter Bahn had been using the Berlin outer ring since the early 1950s and no longer passed through Großbeeren station. On the remaining stub of the route to Teltow and thus also in Großbeeren station, electrical operation began on July 30, 1982.
In 1964/65 scenes from the DEFA film " The Adventures of Werner Holt " were filmed at Großbeeren train station . In 1994, before the railway facilities were converted, the station was the scene of several scenes from the film "Dead Track" from the series Polizeiruf 110 .
Reconstruction of the Anhalter Bahn
After the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989, the lines to the Berlin area were to be rebuilt. The Anhalter Bahn was significantly rebuilt. On the part of the site of the former marshalling yard, the goods traffic center (GVZ) Großbeeren has been built since 1994, whose transshipment station went into operation in September 1998. In the same year, due to the construction work to restore the connection to Berlin, passenger traffic between Ludwigsfelde and Teltow via Großbeeren was discontinued. In 2006 the newly built line went into continuous operation. The Großbeeren train station was converted into a breakpoint with a connection to the GVZ to the north. In place of the old platforms at the station building, new platforms were built further south on the small signal box of the former marshalling yard.
passenger traffic
In the first years of operation, Großbeeren was only served by one freight train a day with passenger transport in both directions. In the following years the offer increased gradually. In 1905, depending on the direction, nine or ten passenger trains stopped at the station, most of them continued to Dresden , Leipzig and Halle . Express trains did not stop in Großbeeren. Until 1943 some of the long-running passenger trains stopped in Großbeeren, some drove through. Most of the trains that ended in Trebbin or Jüterbog stopped at the station. With the separation of suburban traffic since 1943, Großbeeren was served by suburban trains between Berlin and Ludwigsfelde about every 30 minutes, sometimes more often during rush hour, and trains with longer distances no longer stopped there. Passenger traffic in the direction of Berlin ended in 1952, since then in Teltow you had to change to the Berlin S-Bahn, which had been extended there since 1951.
Since 1961 the importance of the station in passenger traffic has decreased significantly. The offer was mostly limited to six to seven pairs of trains between Teltow and Ludwigsfelde via Großbeeren, some of which were tied through to Jüterbog. After the fall of the Berlin Wall, train traffic was increased again. In 1992 trains commuted between Teltow and Ludwigsfelde every two hours, since 1993 every hour. In 1998 passenger traffic was discontinued due to construction work and replaced by rail replacement services.
Since 2006 Großbeeren has been directly connected to Berlin every hour. In the 2016 timetable, line RE 4 stops every hour from Rathenow via Berlin to Ludwigsfelde (on rush hour traffic to Jüterbog) in Großbeeren. This line does not run in the evening hours, but the RE 3 trains stop at the station.
Investments
Original train station
The station building from 1868 is to the west of the tracks. It is no longer used today and, together with an outbuilding, is a listed building. Until the renovation, the station had a house platform at the station building and an island platform offset to the north. On the east side of the tracks were the facilities for freight traffic. For the suburban tracks, which were used briefly in the 1940s, a platform was laid on the west side of the reception building on the embankment.
Today's stop and junction
The facilities of the old train station are no longer used. A new station for passenger traffic was built south of the reception building, which is operationally only a stopping point . Großbeeren has two outer platforms with a length of 140 m and a height of 76 cm above the top of the rails . The regional express line RE 4 Rathenow - Berlin - Ludwigsfelde stops here every hour. In evening traffic, when the RE 4 is no longer running, Großbeeren is served by the RE 3 trains. South of the stop is the Großbeeren Süd junction (official railway abbreviation BGSBS). A connecting curve built in 2006 branches off here to the south-west to the Großbeeren West junction (BGBW), where a connecting loop north of Genshagener Heide train station connects the outer ring in both directions , which was built in the 1950s . Likewise, at the Großbeeren Süd junction, a track branches off to the north-east to the freight traffic center (GVZ), which leads past the stop to the east. The old connection from the outer ring east of the Anhalter Bahn now leads directly to the GVZ.
Freight center
Location: 52 ° 21 ′ 59 ″ N , 13 ° 17 ′ 31.2 ″ E
The goods traffic center Großbeeren (GVZ) , built in 1998 and expanded in 2005, is of considerable importance for supplying Berlin . Whose terminal for combined transport (KV) is located at the pickup path and consists of a container - Umschlagbahnhof with two gantry cranes , a corresponding access for container trucks and container-Service Center. There are two tracks with a usable length of 700 m and two tracks with a usable length of 350 m. In this way, up to 100,000 TEU can be handled in the freight yard per year . The operator is Deutsche Umschlaggesellschaft Schiene-Straße mbH (DUSS).
Due to the high occupancy rate, the 40 hectare “Am Lilograben” expansion area to the west of the Anhalter Bahn was built by 2014. To connect to the existing intermodal terminal, a road bridge was built over the railway line with funds from the European Regional Development Fund . Currently (as of 2014) 6200 people work in the GVZ Großbeeren.
The GVZ also has its own public tracks, which are operated by the IPG infrastructure and project development company. In the GVZ, the rail construction company Spitzke operates an administration center with a siding and a fleet of vehicles for the new construction and repair work of the railways in Berlin and Brandenburg.
