The Hennigsdorf (b Berlin) Bahnhof is a train station in the Brandenburg town of Hennigsdorf . The station on the Kremmener Bahn is also the terminus of the S25 line of the Berlin S-Bahn . Operationally, the Kremmener Bahn has been divided since the Berlin Wall was built in 1961, and continuous tracks no longer exist. Hennigsdorf is served by regional and freight trains from the north, and from the south the station has been connected to the Berlin S-Bahn network again since 1998 .
history
The station was opened on October 1, 1893. After 1900, heavy traffic with suburban trains developed between Berlin, Hennigsdorf and Velten. Between 1921 and 1927 the line between Tegel and Hennigsdorf was moved to a dam. In 1927 the line between Berlin and Velten was electrified with direct current for suburban traffic, and from 1930 the name S-Bahn was used. From 1931 to 1945, the station was also the terminus of the Spandau-West – Hennigsdorfer Kleinbahn , which operated as line 120 in the Berlin tram network .
After the end of World War II and the division of Germany, the train station was not far from the border with West Berlin . S-Bahn traffic across the border was initially unhindered. For the S-Bahn there was a control station, initially called Hennigsdorf Süd , later called Stolpe Süd , between Hennigsdorf station and the border, which from 1958 also served public transport. The Berlin outer ring was built to bypass West Berlin and has crossed the Kremmener Bahn in the north of Hennigsdorf since 1953. At the intersection of the two lines, the Hennigsdorf Nord train station was built to change trains , where, thanks to the conception of a tower train station, it was possible to change quickly and easily. In addition, two connecting curves were built between Hennigsdorf and the outer ring. As early as 1951, the station, together with the stations in Wildau and Königs Wusterhausen, received one of the first three track diagram signal boxes of the Deutsche Reichsbahn .
With the construction of the wall on August 13, 1961, traffic to Berlin was interrupted and Hennigsdorf became the terminus in the GDR . S-Bahn trains operated with direct current still commuted between Hennigsdorf and Velten until 1983, when they were replaced by diesel trains. In 1984 the station and the line to Velten and the curves to the outer ring were electrified with alternating current ( overhead line ).
The S-Bahn station was reopened on December 15, 1998 with the section between Tegel and Hennigsdorf , which was initially only single-track .
For the future, the states of Berlin and Brandenburg are investigating the integration of the Prignitz Express , which is currently head-turning in Hennigsdorf, via the Kremmener Bahn to Berlin Gesundbrunnen . The Hennigsdorf train station would thus receive a regional transport connection to the south (Berlin), a mixed operation of the Prignitz-Express with the S-Bahn is planned to Tegel.
Investments
Since the renovation in the 1920s, the station has had two elevated island platforms with four platform edges, which were connected by two tunnels at both ends of the platform. A special feature is that the eastern platform has been divided since the S-Bahn restarted in 1998. In the northern, original part of the platform, regional trains stop at head tracks. In the southern, shortened, newly built part, the S-Bahn ends, also at head tracks. Because of the lack of platform length, only 6 car trains can be used. On the western platform there are two head tracks from the north, the continuous tracks are also interrupted. To the west of this are three more continuous tracks that connect the Bombardier plant to the south of the station . To the north of the station, the tracks branch off towards Velten and in both directions to the Berlin outer ring . The former second track on the line towards Velten now belongs to the Bombardier company and serves as a test track for railway vehicles built in the factory.
At the station entrance from the south-western forecourt there was a small S-Bahn Berlin ticket sales point until mid-2016. The point of sale was closed due to "extremely low" demand. VBB tariff tickets can now be purchased from the ticket machines on the platforms or in the Eckert newspaper kiosk . Tickets outside the VBB tariff can only be bought outside of the city, for example in Oranienburg or Spandau.
The former station building at the northeast exit was renovated in 1998/99 and has been used as a library ever since. Since the railway line was raised, a path has run parallel to the embankment between this building and the embankment, so that there was no structural connection between the reception building and the railway facilities.
The northern station tunnel was closed during the renovation of the station. The plan was to reopen this by 2013 and also to have an exit to Poststrasse on the west side of the railway facilities. However, no corresponding construction work took place.
passenger traffic
Hennigsdorf used to be a mere intermediate station for the local trains of the Kremmener Bahn. Since 1927, suburban traffic has been carried out with direct current trains, for which the name S-Bahn has been established since 1930. Before the Second World War, the S-Bahn ran every 20 minutes and every 10 minutes during rush hour from Berlin to Velten. No other passenger trains stopped at the station. After the Second World War, Hennigsdorf was on the border with West Berlin. The S-Bahn traffic initially continued. Rush hour traffic from the direction of Oranienburg and Birkenwerder as well as from the Falkensee area to Hennigsdorf train station was taken over the Berlin outer ring, which was newly built in the early 1950s .
In 1961, the construction of the Berlin Wall interrupted the S-Bahn traffic to Berlin. S-Bahn trains still shuttled between Hennigsdorf and Velten until 1983. They drove about twice an hour, albeit without a fixed schedule. In addition, there were a few trains in the direction of the places on the western outer ring and to Oranienburg, especially during rush hour. After 1983 the traffic to Velten was switched to locomotive hauled trains. The section of the Kremmener Bahn between Hennigsdorf and Velten was electrified with alternating current in 1984. Most of the trains on the Berlin outer ring did not use the Hennigsdorf station, but the Hennigsdorf Nord station outside the city, the trains in the direction of Velten served as feeders from Hennigsdorf station. Hennigsdorf Nord has not been served since 1995, since then most local trains have run from the outer ring directly to Hennigsdorf station.
For some time in 1994/95 the so-called Duo S-Bahn (line S 19) ran on the 17-kilometer connection between Hennigsdorf and Oranienburg. Between Oranienburg and Birkenwerder it drove with direct current drive on the S-Bahn tracks, between Birkenwerder and Hennigsdorf with diesel drive on the Berlin outer ring via Hohen Neuendorf West.
Since 1998 the station has been connected to Berlin by the Berlin S-Bahn every 20 minutes, the journey time to Gesundbrunnen is 26 minutes and to Friedrichstrasse 34 minutes.
Today the station is a transfer point between the Berlin S-Bahn and several regional express and regional train lines (see table). From the bus station southwest of the train station there is a connection to the bus lines of the Berliner Verkehrsbetriebe , the Havelbus Verkehrsgesellschaft and the Oberhavel Verkehrsgesellschaft , etc. a. to Berlin-Spandau and Oranienburg.
