The Königs Wusterhausen train station is a train station in Brandenburg , which mainly takes the commuter flows from the city of Königs Wusterhausen to and from Berlin . The train station is located on the edge of the city center and relatively far from the large residential areas. It belongs to the Berlin tariff zone C and is the terminus of the S46 line of the Berlin S-Bahn .
Investments
Königs Wusterhausen train station currently has three platform edges with the following dimensions:
| Track number | Platform height above sea level SO | Platform length |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 76 cm | 233 m |
| 2 | 103 cm | 185 m |
| 3 | 76 cm | 140 m |
The central platform with tracks 2 and 3 was originally designed for the height of the Berlin S-Bahn, which explains its platform height of 103 cm. In order to make the change of passengers easier for people with reduced mobility, the side of the platform on track 3 was lowered over a length of around 100 m to a height of 76 cm.
The station is a bottleneck on the route. Immediately north of the station, the Notte Canal is crossed on a double-track railway bridge, which is used by the S-Bahn as well as long-distance and regional traffic and therefore only one track is available . In and from the north, only platform 1 (house platform) can be reached without crossing the S-Bahn platform. Most of the continuous train journeys along the Görlitzer Bahn in regional, long-distance and transit goods traffic are handled in both directions via platform 1. Track 3 (apart from the trains of the RB 36 to and from Beeskow) is only used by a few continuous trains on the Görlitzer Bahn. In order to remove this bottleneck and establish the continuous double-track system, a comprehensive redesign and operational reorganization of the station area would be necessary, but there are currently no concrete plans for this.
The station building has meanwhile been placed under monument protection, which has an impact on planning aspects of a possible renovation of the station.
There are 100 bicycle parking spaces right at the train station. The up to 500 bicycles parked daily are guarded between 6 a.m. and 6 p.m. in two shifts by six one-euro jobbers .
history
19th century
The Königs Wusterhausen station was built together with the Berlin – Görlitz railway line in 1865 and 1866. The opening of the first section from Berlin to Cottbus took place on September 13, 1866. On December 31, 1867, the line was extended to Görlitz . Initially, only a half-timbered house was built as a reception building due to the German War that had just broken out . The main building in its current form was not built until 1893. On October 1, 1891, the suburban tariff was introduced to Königs Wusterhausen. The economic prosperity of the region, which primarily served Berlin's material needs with building materials, added the Königs Wusterhausen-Mittenwalde-Töpchiner Kleinbahn in 1894 and the line towards Beeskow and Frankfurt (Oder) on September 20, 1898 . This went hand in hand with extensive expansions of the railway facilities in the station. Among other things, a separate platform was built for the route to Mittenwalde, which is directly south of today's house platform .
20th century
In April 1945, traffic on the Görlitzer Bahn in the Berlin area was stopped. After the Second World War , steam-powered suburban traffic was resumed from Görlitzer Bahnhof in Berlin in the direction of Königs Wusterhausen in 1947 . On April 30, 1951, the electric S-Bahn traffic from Grünau to Königs Wusterhausen was extended and put into operation, while steam-powered suburban traffic was discontinued. On this occasion, the station received this year together with the adjacent station Wildau and the Hennigsdorf station one of the three first track plan signal towers of the Deutsche Reichsbahn . Local rail passenger transport in the direction of Mittenwalde on the route to Töpchin was switched to bus operation on September 29, 1974. On October 16, 1987, the long-distance line between Grünau and Königs Wusterhausen was electrified.
21st century
In 2010 the track infrastructure around Königs Wusterhausen was renewed. The route to Lübbenau was upgraded to 160 km / h as part of a twelve-month full closure. At the same time, the route towards Frankfurt / Oder was closed for two months from June 2010 and upgraded to 80 km / h. Thus, the king Wusterhausen station was original building a railway terminus . A modernization of the connecting section to Berlin-Grünau is also planned in the future. New signaling and security technology was installed here in 2009. Since the beginning of 2010, financed by the Federal Government's economic stimulus package II , the old fluorescent tube displays have been replaced by modern LCD displays . At the same time, a guidance system for the blind was installed in the train station .

Until the discontinuation of interregional traffic for the 2001 summer timetable, Königs Wusterhausen always had long-distance connections to Cottbus and Görlitz in the south and to changing destinations in the direction of Berlin. Afterwards, Königs Wusterhausen was not a long-distance stop until 2012. The Intercity from Norddeich Mole to Cottbus and the EC 99 from Hamburg to Kraków passed through Königs Wusterhausen without stopping. A pair of IC trains has been stopping in Königs Wusterhausen since December 2012.

bus connections
The city's train station is served by a number of RVS bus lines as well as one from the private company Herz-Reisen from Zossen, which, however, sometimes operate at very different intervals. A total of 14 bus routes go to the station. The two departure areas to the west and east of the train are connected by a pedestrian underpass under the tracks of the station.

Freight transport
The freight yard was important for the transport of lignite from Lusatia , Bohemia and the Giant Mountains from the very beginning . At the same time, the freight wagons from the two branch lines towards Beeskow and Zossen were put together here. Above all, the transport of products from today's districts of Zernsdorf, Kablow and Niederlehme to Berlin was ensured via the train station. After the Second World War, the supplies for Berlin were reloaded in Königs Wusterhausen or rerouted in the direction of Mittenwalde due to the destroyed railway infrastructure, which is why at that time the freight station occupied a central position for the flow of goods from the southeast. The freight connection from the direction of Mittenwalde was cut after the shutdown of freight traffic on January 1, 2001 when the Königs Wusterhausen track bed was renovated. In contrast, the route to Frankfurt (Oder) was partially renovated in 2010.
Today the Königs Wusterhausen freight yard is primarily the track field for the assembly and disconnection of freight traffic to the Königs Wusterhausen inland port . Up to seven block trains reach the station per day. The trains mainly transport coal from Poland for the Klingenberg power plant in Berlin-Rummelsburg , which is transferred to barges in the port . Every year around 36,000 wagons are assembled for the port, which are then taken over by the port railway and transferred to the port area.
future
With the redesign of the state road through the tunnel, the road-side bottleneck (no passage for trucks and buses) should be eliminated and the separation of the east side of the station from the rest of the city should be eliminated. The latter was to be done by cutting through the pedestrian underpass to the east of the station. Plans from 2007 saw a need for 1,000 additional parking spaces, which should be covered by a managed parking garage.
A planning workshop in the city carried out a scenario analysis and developed a preferred variant. The following measures were derived from this and a corresponding time schedule was drawn up. This analysis was submitted to the city council and has yet to be confirmed in a feasibility study:
| Period | activities | Client |
|---|---|---|
| 2012 | New car park (north) ( P + R ) | city |
| 2012 | Land acquisition and dismantling of sheds u. Ä. East Side | city |
| 2012 | Expansion of the bus reversing loop northeast | city |
| 2013 | Basic expansion of Storkower Strasse | State Road Administration |
| 2013 | Rehabilitation and puncture of pedestrian underpass | Deutsche Bahn |
| 2013 | New building access to the pedestrian underpass on the west side (possibly stairs + elevator) | Deutsche Bahn |
| 2013 | New building access to the pedestrian underpass on the east side (possibly stairs + ramp) | Deutsche Bahn |
| 2013 | New building B + R facility east side (covered) | city |
| 2013 | New construction of a bus stop at the entrance to the underpass on the east side | city |
| 2014 | New construction of the B + R facility on the west side ( bicycle parking garage ) | city |
| 2014/15 | Reconstruction of the Storkower Strasse underpass | DB AG |
| 2015 | Optional extension of the P + R facility Ost / Storkower Straße | city |
Four bus stops with a roofed waiting and information area, dynamic passenger information and a public toilet were to be built on the eastern forecourt of the station with funds approved in 2012. Furthermore, 168 covered bicycle parking spaces and 88 car parking spaces were to be created on Storkower Straße. The European Union provided around 2.5 million euros for the further redesign of the area around the station. These funds were used to rebuild the access, including stairs and ramp, on the east side of the station. The staircase to the adjacent parking lot and the station forecourt have been redesigned. On the west side of the station, access to the platforms has been roofed over. With funds from Deutsche Bahn and the city, the renewal and barrier-free expansion of the platform tunnel as well as the piercing of the tunnel to the east side of the station took place.
Work on the construction of the new pedestrian tunnel began in summer 2013. For this purpose, a temporary pedestrian bridge was built at the southern end of the platform, then the exit from the central platform to the underpass was closed and the old pedestrian tunnel demolished. The new pedestrian tunnel extends to Storkower Straße and has lifts to the platforms. In the course of these extensive construction measures in the area around the station, however, the track systems were not redesigned to improve the operational situation in the station.
According to the State Transport Plan 2018 of the Ministry of Infrastructure and State Planning Brandenburg, a dirt track and the complete double-track expansion of the Görlitzer Bahn are planned in the area of the train station. From December 2022, the RE 2 will only operate as far as Nauen and will receive cyclic compressors between Berlin and Lübbenau during rush hour. In April 2020, the planning approval decision for the reconstruction of the dirt track, which was abandoned in 2008, was issued.
Taking into account the additional long-distance traffic, the target operation would look like this:
In the second quarter of 2013, the VBB announced that in view of the delays in the opening of the new BER airport and its rail-side transport links to the 2014 annual timetable, the Senftenberg - Königs Wusterhausen - Schönefeld Airport train routes, which run as part of the RB 14 line, would initially be connected via Berlin Südkreuz Berlin Hauptbahnhof (deep) is aimed at. Since the timetable change in December 2013, this has been implemented with the new line RB 19 Senftenberg - Königs Wusterhausen - Schönefeld Airport - Berlin-Gesundbrunnen. Since the timetable change on December 12, 2015, line RB 24 has taken over traffic to Senftenberg via Berlin-Ostkreuz. With the start of operation of the Elbe-Spree procurement network in December 2022, the RE 7 from Dessau is to replace the RB 24 on the line branch to Senftenberg.
The RB 22 line was extended from Schönefeld to Königs Wusterhausen after it was discontinued in the mid-1990s due to insufficient demand.
The Deutsche Bahnkundenverband complains that another platform is missing in Königs Wusterhausen station and that this extension has not yet been planned.
