The Rangsdorf station is the station of the municipality Rangsdorf in Brandenburg Teltow-Fläming . It is located at route kilometer 24.3 of the Dresden Railway . The western part of the station served the Royal Prussian Military Railway until 1919 .
Location and structure
The train station is located west of the Rangsdorf village center on Fontaneplatz. It is at ground level and includes three platforms for passenger traffic. The station building of the former military railway is located to the west of the tracks; it is now used as a residential building. The station building of the former Berlin-Dresden railway is on the east side. A third access was built when the former military platform was expanded into a suburban platform in 1940 at the southern end. A pedestrian bridge connects both sides and the platforms with each other.
The military station, which was later expanded into a suburban station, is listed as part of the military railway in the state monument list of the state of Brandenburg.
history
The station was opened on June 17, 1875 together with the Berlin – Dresden line of the Berlin-Dresden Railway Company . The military railway followed four months later, running parallel to the Dresden railway as far as Zossen . From 1890 the military station was opened for passenger traffic, ten years later the military station received its own station building on the west side of the track system.
According to the provisions of the Versailles Treaty , Germany was no longer allowed to operate the military railroad after the end of the First World War. The approximately 30-kilometer-long track between Berlin and Zossen was subsequently dismantled and the passenger trains relocated to the Dresden Railway. The station building of the military railway continued to be used as a residential building.
The Deutsche Reichsbahn intended to electrify the Dresden Railway between Berlin Priesterweg and Wünsdorf by October 1, 1940 . In fact, from October 6, 1940, the trains could only run to Rangsdorf. The military station was provided with a second edge of the platform on the west side, and the steam-powered connecting trains to Wünsdorf stopped on the east side. At the same time the pedestrian bridge was built between both sides. The main platform of the Dresdener Bahn was then closed. Due to the war, there was no further electrification. The S-Bahn ran every 20 minutes, the suburban traffic to Wünsdorf then ran.
The electric train traffic was inactive from April 1945 until October 1, 1945, it has meanwhile been bridged with steam trains. The second track of the Dresden Railway was dismantled as a reparation payment to the Soviet Union and the previously double-track mixed traffic between steam-powered and electric trains was reduced to one track. In 1952 the second track was rebuilt and from then on it was used exclusively for S-Bahn trains. The trains ran to Berlin every 30 minutes. With the construction of the wall on August 13, 1961, the continuous S-Bahn connection to Berlin was interrupted. The trains initially ran to Mahlow as an island line. On September 12, 1961, however, this island operation was discontinued due to a lack of wagons on the line and switched to steam operation. From then on, the steam trains used both mainline tracks, the power rail of the western track was dismantled. The western edge of the suburban platform was no longer used.
Since the suburban trains no longer ended in Rangsdorf, but were extended to the north, they crossed the track several times to approach the suburban platform. The eastern house platform was therefore put back into operation in 1970. In 1982, the Dresden Railway was electrified with alternating current and overhead lines , which made it difficult to restart the S-Bahn. On June 8, 2018, Brandenburg's Prime Minister Dietmar Woidke announced that the S-Bahn line 2 from Blankenfelde via Dahlewitz to Rangsdorf would be extended.
As part of the project to expand the Berlin – Dresden rail line to a maximum speed of up to 200 km / h, extensive renovation of the Rangsdorf station began in May 2013 after the Federal Railway Authority had issued the relevant planning approval decision on March 19 . In the summer of 2013 the reception building, the pedestrian bridge, the loading dock and the loading ramp as well as the pump station were demolished.
In addition to the two continuous main tracks, an overtaking track with a regional traffic platform was arranged in each direction of travel, as well as an overtaking track for freight trains to the north of the platforms. The level crossing south of the station was closed when the railway underpass was completed on May 30, 2015. Renewal of the signal and overhead line systems as well as the construction of soundproof walls on both sides over a length of around one kilometer are also part of the renovation.
Connection
The train station is served every hour by the regional express lines RE5 and RE7 of the DB Regio . There are transfer connections to the bus lines of the transport company Teltow-Fläming .
