history

The breakpoint went into operation on October 1, 1887. The system created by the Royal Railway Directorate in Magdeburg had two low side platforms and a simple reception building. At that time, the route was still at ground level. In October 1892, the Royal Railway Works Office in Berlin (Berlin-Magdeburg) submitted a draft to the superior KED Magdeburg to improve the traffic conditions between Potsdam and Wildlife Park . It envisaged the gradual elevation of the railway and the raising of the bridges on the section by about two meters. Since a cost estimate that was drawn up provided for expenditure of around two million marks , the management abandoned the project. A project to raise the line in the Charlottenhof area, suggested by the City of Potsdam in 1898, was rejected by the Ministry of Public Works due to a lack of demand. In the course of the construction of the bypass line ( Nauen  - Wildpark - Treuenbrietzen ), the city again demanded that the route in the Charlottenhof area be raised in 1900 and was now ready to contribute 300,000 marks to the costs. The Ministry was not fundamentally averse to the project, but initially demanded a grant of 540,000 marks, and ultimately both sides agreed on 400,000 marks. With the construction, the swing bridges over the nearby Havel could also be replaced by permanent superstructures.

The new embankment was mainly built south of the old route so that operations could be maintained during the work. In the area of ​​the Charlottenhof stop, however, it should remain in its old location. A provisional central platform had to be created, for the construction of which the first station building from 1887 had to give way. In September 1907 the makeshift platform went into operation, after which the earthworks could begin. In September 1908 the southern part of the new station and the Magdeburg - Berlin track were ready for operation. In the autumn of 1909, the work was completed.

The station building was built according to plans by Ernst Schwartz . The entrance and exit of the building located below the tracks pointed to the north on Luisenstrasse. Behind a porch , the vestibule with was the ticket counter right hand and the centrally disposed baggage. The barrier to the platforms was arranged on the left, from where a connecting corridor led to the platforms. Service rooms and toilets for the officers were set up in the back of the building. With a view to the long-distance trains passing through here , two side platforms were built, which are covered over a length of around 200 meters. As a result of this arrangement, the dam is narrower overall, so that the rooms could be better lit. Given the location of the stop in the immediate vicinity of Charlottenhof Palace , the building was architecturally richer than usual.

At various times it was planned to extend the suburban tracks of the Wannseebahn ending in Potsdam via Charlottenhof and Wildpark to Werder or to include the stop in the electric S-Bahn service. The plans of the Reichsbahnbaudirektion Berlin in 1941 envisaged the expansion of the line to four tracks and the creation of a central platform for the S-Bahn. The train service, which was suspended in April 1945 due to the war, was resumed in mid-June 1945 between Wildlife Park and Potsdam and Berlin-Wannsee . Since February 16, 1946, suburban traffic has been limited to the Potsdam - Werder section. The southern track was dismantled after the end of the war.

On July 1, 1952, the halt was named Potsdam West . A little further to the west, the Deutsche Reichsbahn built a connecting curve to the bypass line to Caputh , which went into operation on October 4, 1952. Trains from Potsdam (1960: Potsdam City) to Caputh thus did not have more in game park make head . In the spring of 1962, the curve was extended to the Havel bridge, so that there were two single-track routes in Charlottenhof. The southern platform could go back into operation at the same time. From 1983 onwards, the Potsdam city - wildlife park line was again consistently double-track. Since May 23, 1993, the stop has been called Potsdam Charlottenhof . In 1995 the section was extensively renovated and the bridges over the Havel and Zeppelinstraße replaced. During this work, the line ran on a single track in the axis, which it occupied until 1907. This was accompanied by work on the electrification and conversion of the control and safety technology to an electronic interlocking .

traffic

From the very beginning, Charlottenhof was only a stop for passenger trains. Long-distance and freight trains were not dispatched. Since December 1, 1891, the Berlin –Potsdam –Werder route was included in the Berlin suburban tariff, the later S-Bahn tariff. Since August 30, 1910, there has also been a connection to the Potsdam tram network . In the 1914 summer schedule, the trains ran almost every hour between Berlin Potsdamer Bahnhof and Wildpark or Werder. In addition, there were about eight pairs of trains daily between Berlin Potsdamer Bahnhof and Magdeburg Hauptbahnhof with a stop in Charlottenhof. In the summer of 1939 there was an hourly connection with suburban trains between Berlin and Werder, which was compressed to every half hour between Potsdam and Werder. At peak times, the amplifiers also drove to and from Berlin. The Magdeburg passenger trains, on the other hand, ran through Charlottenhof. The direct connection via the main line to Berlin presumably existed until March 1945, between June 1945 and February 1946 the trains ended in Berlin-Wannsee , and since then in Potsdam.

On the 1952 scale connecting curve to bypass the web direction Caputh existed from about 1960 a shuttle between the station Potsdam City and at the intersection of bypass railway and the Berlin outer ring applied Station Potsdam South (1960: Potsdam main station, since 1993: Potsdam Pirschheide) for connecting the new long-distance station with the more central city station. As a result of the construction of the Wall on August 13, 1961, the electrical S-Bahn connection to Berlin-Wannsee behind Griebnitzsee , which had existed since 1928, was interrupted. Until October 9, 1961, there was still an electric shuttle service on this section, which was then discontinued. As a replacement, a connection was established from Griebnitzsee, later Babelsberg via Potsdam City and Potsdam West to Potsdam Hbf. The connection existed almost every hour. The formerly direct trains between Potsdam city and Werder, however, were limited to the peripheral locations. After the reunification and the associated opening of the border, connections to Berlin were restored.
