The Teltow Station is located in the same city at the Anhalt line south of Berlin and was established in the 1,901th Since then, the station has been fundamentally rebuilt several times. The station served the regional and freight traffic and was from 1950 to 1961 the terminus of a route of the S-Bahn Berlin . When the Wall was built in 1961, the direct connection to Berlin was interrupted and only reopened in 2006.
The Teltow station is not to be confused with the Teltow Stadt station , which opened in 2005 and is just under two kilometers northwest, near the city center at the end of a branch line of the Berlin S-Bahn.
location
The station is located south of Berlin at the intersection of the Berlin – Halle railway line with Mahlower Straße, about three kilometers east of downtown Teltow in the Potsdam-Mittelmark district in Brandenburg . Originally the station was built far outside the city in an open field, but now the area between the city and the train station is mainly built up with residential buildings. The village of Heinersdorf is two kilometers further east across the border with the Teltow-Fläming district and the Sigridshorst settlement that belongs to Teltow is about one kilometer further north.
history
prehistory
The city of Teltow was initially not connected to the Anhalter Bahn line, which opened in 1840 and passed the city a few kilometers to the east. A passenger post line was set up in the direction of Zehlendorf station on the main line. In 1872 it was said that the Berlin-Anhalt Railway Company would plan a connection from Lichterfelde via Teltow and Stahnsdorf to Potsdam, but this project was not implemented. In 1888 Teltow was connected to the Gross-Lichterfelde (Anhalter Bahnhof) - Seehof - Teltow steam tram , which was part of the Teltower Kreisbahnen in 1906 and was electrified the following year. In 1889 there were again plans for a railway line from Potsdam via Teltow to Berlin-Köpenick , which were also not implemented at the time. Only later did individual sections of the bypass line emerge , but they did not lead directly via Teltow.
In the second half of the 1890s, efforts grew in the city of Teltow for a connection to a full-fledged railway. Corresponding requests were sent to the Royal Railway Directorate in Halle, which was responsible for the Anhalter Bahn. After the required land had been handed over to the railway company by the city and the surrounding landowners free of charge, construction work could begin.
Teltow station
On October 1, 1901, the Teltow station was opened for all traffic. The volume of traffic developed well, and freight traffic in particular grew rapidly. In terms of passenger traffic, the station was served by all passenger trains on the line from the start ; in 1904 ten to twelve trains ran in each direction. In 1909 the Teltower Industriebahn (later Teltower Eisenbahn ) went into operation, connecting the station with various industrial companies in the city and with the port on the Teltow Canal , which opened in 1906 . At the beginning of the 1910s, the station facilities and the reception building were expanded. In 1923 the responsibility for the railway systems in the Teltow area changed from the railway directorate / Reichsbahndirektion Halle to the Reichsbahndirektion Berlin . There were several plans to expand the Anhalter Bahn in the Teltow area with four tracks and to create separate suburban tracks.
Until the 1930s, the development of the city of Teltow had gradually expanded to the Teltow train station. In 1938, the Berlin suburban tariff was extended to Teltow, but there were no separate suburban trains at the time.
Renovations around 1940
In the course of the Germania plans of the National Socialists, partly based on older plans, there were various considerations in the 1930s for the redesign of the railway systems in the Berlin area, which also affected the Teltow area. Some of these projects were tackled. A new Großbeeren marshalling yard was planned for freight traffic, which should extend between the Großbeeren and Teltow stations on the east side of the Anhalter Bahn tracks. In this context, instead of the old plans for the bypass line south around Berlin with a guided tour in the course of the later Berlin outer ring, a more northerly running freight outer ring was planned. On December 16, 1940, the temporary outer freight ring between the Teltow station and Biesenhorst (west of the Berlin-Kaulsdorf station on the Ostbahn ) was opened. As early as 1939, a construction operating track went into operation, which led from Großbeeren station to Tempelhof and was used for construction work at the Großbeeren marshalling yard and the planned Lichterfelde Süd depot. The auxiliary shunting yard in Großbeeren went into operation in 1941. As a result of the war, these projects were only carried out provisionally, other construction measures such as the western extension of the outer freight ring north of Teltow via Stahnsdorf to Potsdam were not carried out except for a few initial works.
Further work concerned the actual Anhalter Bahn. There was construction work to separate suburban and long-distance tracks, combined with a relocation of the tracks from the site level to the embankment. As early as 1919 there were reports of earthworks to raise the Anhalter Bahn between Lichterfelde and Großbeeren. After that, however, work stalled for almost 20 years until it was resumed in 1938. In 1943 the separate suburban line from Berlin-Lichterfelde Ost to Ludwigsfelde went into operation, but the electric S-Bahn service from the city center ended at Lichterfelde Süd station. Since then, Teltow has only been served by suburban trains; the through passenger trains on the Anhalter Bahn only stopped again in Ludwigsfelde.
After the end of the Second World War
Suburban traffic from Lichterfelde to Ludwigsfelde was not resumed until December 24, 1945 after the war ended. North of the Teltow train station ran the border between the Soviet occupation zone and the American sector of Berlin, later that between the GDR and West Berlin.
A large part of the track systems of the station and the lines in its vicinity went to the Soviet Union as reparations after the end of the war or were used to replace lines dismantled elsewhere. From 1950 onwards, passengers on the trains to Berlin were checked at Teltow station, for which purpose a dismantled track was rebuilt. On July 7, 1951, the direct current operation of the Berlin S-Bahn had been extended from Lichterfelde Süd to Teltow. In this context, the separate suburban line from Teltow to Ludwigsfelde went out of service. On May 18, 1952, long-distance traffic to West Berlin was discontinued and the track systems dismantled. The Teltow station could only be reached in both directions - apart from the S-Bahn track - via the former construction works track, which had already been provided with a provisional platform during the war. In addition, there was a sweeping system for the Ludwigsfeld suburban trains that had ended in Teltow since 1951. Until the mid-1950s there was still sporadic freight traffic in the direction of West Berlin, in 1960 it was finally decided that no more trains should run to West Berlin via Teltow.
The direct current line of the S-Bahn was supplied with electricity from a mobile rectifier plant in Berlin-Lichterfelde. A stationary plant at Teltow train station was under construction and should go into operation in 1961.
After the wall was built
The construction of the wall separated the railway line between Teltow and Lichterfelde completely. The remaining tracks of the S-Bahn and the freight track were dismantled, the bridge of the S-Bahn over Mahlower Straße was dismantled. The rectifier plant was no longer in operation.
The Teltow station could therefore only be reached from Ludwigsfelde and via a connecting curve at Genshagener Heide station from the Berlin outer ring from the west. Its tasks in passenger transport decreased sharply, since both Berlin and Potsdam could only be reached by train with long detours. There remained an initially brisk, later thinned out train traffic in the direction of Ludwigsfelde (1962: 14 trains, 1989: 6–8 trains per day and direction), some of the trains were led directly to Jüterbog. Immediately after the Wall was built, there were still two pairs of trains in rush hour traffic via Genshagener Heide to Berlin. They were hired in 1963, there was still a couple of early trains to Genshagener Heide that ran until 1983. The main load of the passenger traffic was carried by buses that connected Potsdam via the city and Teltow train station to the Central Airport Berlin-Schönefeld train station. In the 1980s, they ran every 30 minutes, between Teltow train station and Potsdam every 15 minutes on weekdays.
On July 30, 1982, electrical operations began in Teltow station.
Development after 1990
Soon after the fall of the Berlin Wall, calls were made to resume S-Bahn traffic to Teltow. However, there were long discussions as to whether plans from the 1930s should be resumed instead of the Teltow station, which is further away from the city, according to which the city of Teltow would be opened up with a new route and a stop closer to the center. It was not until 1997 that the Federal Ministry of Transport agreed to finance this route. On February 24, 2005, the Berlin-Lichterfelde Süd – Teltow Stadt railway with the Teltow Stadt station went into operation.
The old Teltow station continued to be served exclusively by regional trains from the direction of Ludwigsfelde. From May 1993, the offer was reduced to an hourly service. On May 24, 1998, passenger traffic in Teltow was stopped because the construction work for the reconstruction of the Anhalter Bahn to Berlin had begun; the contact line had already been dismantled a year earlier.
On May 28, 2006, the rebuilt line and the new Teltow station went into operation. It was rebuilt in an elevated position, parts of the old station remained for freight traffic.
In the 2016 timetable, Teltow station is served every hour by line RE 4 from Ludwigsfelde via Berlin to Rathenow . This line does not operate in the outskirts of the day, but the trains of the RE 3 line, which run through during the day, stop at Teltow station.

The first Teltow train station
Initially, the station had two outer platforms on the two main tracks and a few tracks for freight traffic on the west side. A small building made of timber framework and bricks served as the reception building. After the expansion, overhaul tracks were added, initially one in the direction of Halle, then one in the direction of Berlin in 1920 at the latest. In 1931 there were extensive freight transport facilities on the west side of the tracks. The goods shed was arranged next to the station building. To the south of it there were a number of shunting tracks, from which the Teltower industrial railway was reached. The Tlo signal box was on the east side of the track system directly on Machnower Strasse.
After 1940
The dam for the suburban and long-distance tracks was built on the west side of the track system on the area of the former freight transport systems and the reception building. To the east of this, the construction depot was created at the site level, where the goods traffic was handled. The suburban platform could be reached via a tunnel, which initially only had one exit on the west side. After the trains in the direction of Ludwigsfelde ended in the former construction depot after the Second World War, the tunnel was extended to the east side of the tracks in 1952. A small, barrack-like station building was erected at the entrance to the lower platform.
After the Berlin Wall was built, the S-Bahn tracks and the bridge over Machnower Strasse were dismantled. The dam and the tunnel running beneath it remained until the station was rebuilt again at the end of the 1990s.
The station then had a platform with two platform edges for the passenger trains. To the east of it were the freight transport facilities with two platform tracks.
Todays situation
The through station is in an elevated position on Mahlower Straße, which is crossed by the tracks. It consists of two platform-free through tracks, each of which is followed by a track with an outside platform south of the street on both sides. To the east of the through tracks, there are a few tracks for freight traffic at ground level. These are only connected to the Anhalter Bahn at Großbeeren station ; the freight station is considered to be part of Großbeeren’s station. To the south-west of the station there are still some remains of the Teltow industrial railway, which are no longer connected to the main line.
Connection to the Teltower Railway
The route of the Teltow Railway led south and west of the Teltow train station past the city of Teltow to the Teltow harbor in the area of the Oderstrasse on the Teltow Canal . The connection of this freight line to the station has been fundamentally changed several times. Originally it branched off from the Anhalter Bahn to the south-west at the south end of the station. However, the dam built around 1940 for the suburban and planned long-distance tracks separated this connection. Instead, a new line was built, which branched north of the train station to the northwest and ran under the tracks of the main line to Berlin. In Sigridshorst a connection to a western extension of the outer freight ring was to be created, which, like an S-Bahn connection, was not tackled there. The trains of the Teltower Railway changed direction in Sigridshorst and drove west at Teltow station along the railway line until they reached their original route again. After the Second World War, the embankment south of Teltow was no longer needed and was partially removed. Since the continuous connection from Teltow to the north was only restricted by the demarcation of the border, and later no longer usable, the Teltower Railway was connected to the south head of the Teltow station to the south in the direction of Großbeeren station.
Rectifier plant
The "rectifier plant with courtyard paving and access road as well as the subsequent paved section of Bahnstraße" is a listed building. It is on the west side of the track system. It was built around 1960 and was almost completed in the summer of 1961. As a result of the construction of the wall, the S-Bahn line was interrupted and the rectifier plant became superfluous. The technical facilities were subsequently dismantled. The building structure of the plant was preserved and is now used by a children's facility.
