The Velten (Mark) station is a through station in the town of Velten in the Brandenburg district of Oberhavel , which was put into operation on the Kremmener Bahn in 1893 . From 1927 the trains of the Berlin S-Bahn stopped in the station. Between 1904 and 1963 the station was also a terminus of the Nauen – Velten line of the Osthavelländische Kreisbahnen , and from 1951 to 1969 the terminus of the Oranienburg – Velten line . Both lines were closed and largely dismantled. In 1983 the Deutsche Reichsbahn stopped direct current operation on the S-Bahn. Today the station is a stop for regional express and regional trains.
location
The Velten train station is on the railway lines from Berlin to Kremmen and from Nauen to Oranienburg , it is about 500 meters southwest of the Velten town center. It is just under nine kilometers to the Berlin city limits. The neighboring streets are Bahnstrasse and Kreisbahnstrasse . The Hennigsdorf (b Berlin) Bahnhof is located about eight kilometers south. To the north, the Bärenklau stop is the next station, the next train station is Kremmen . Velten is in the tariff area of the Berlin-Brandenburg transport association (VBB).
history
The station was opened on October 1, 1893 under the name Velten .
The Veltener Zeitung wrote the following about this:
“We feel that a lively, pulsating breath passes from there to our“ realm of the potters ”. Velten will be a central link in the gigantic body of the neighboring megacity "
On May 1, 1911, the name was added (Mark) . In connection with the electrification of the Kremmener Bahn to Velten in 1927, the line was given a second track, and a new central platform was built in Velten . Access was via a steel bridge. To the north of the station, a railcar hangar was built to park the suburban trains. During a test drive on February 1, 1927, the train suffered a short circuit , a railcar then burned out and the train had to be towed by a steam locomotive . On March 16, 1927, the Deutsche Reichsbahn commenced electrical suburban operations, and from 1930 the trains ran under the name "S-Bahn". The post office was built on the station forecourt in 1931 .
Between 1904 and 1964 Velten had a rail connection via a small railway to Nauen and Oranienburg . The trains on the small train stopped in a small station west of the actual station. From the end of the 1930s, the S-Bahn to Velten was very busy because of the armaments factories located there.
Between April and June 1945, regular rail traffic in Velten was completely idle. From June 18, 1945, the first steam trains ran between Hennigsdorf and Kremmen , and from July 6, electrical train operation resumed to Velten. From 1948 there was again a connection with the S-Bahn via the north-south tunnel to Berlin city center.
Between 1951 and 1969 the station was the starting point of a railway line to Oranienburg . In the station, the saloon railcars of the GDR leadership, which had arisen from conversions of the diesel railcars of the 137 series , were parked.

With the construction of the wall on August 13, 1961, traffic from Velten was only possible to Hennigsdorf. The S-Bahn line had been separated from the rest of the Berlin S-Bahn network. Since the railcar hall provided a means of maintaining the vehicles and a substation for power supply in Hennigsdorf , the Reichsbahn was able to maintain electrical operation. Passengers to Berlin had to change trains in Hennigsdorf or in Hennigsdorf Nord station on the Berlin outer ring . When the Deutsche Reichsbahn pushed ahead with the electrification of its lines in the 1980s, the decision was made to abandon DC island operation. The last S-Bahn between Velten and Hennigsdorf ran on September 20, 1983. By October 7, 1983, the line was converted for AC operation via overhead lines . In 1998 the catenary was dismantled again.
At the beginning of 2001 the old water tower at the train station was demolished. At the end of October 2007, Velten was connected to the electronic signal box in Neuruppin , which enabled the old mechanical signal boxes to be closed.
At the end of 2015, the station was named “Brandenburg's ugliest train station” in a survey. The station building was acquired from a baker from the region and subsequently renovated.
A thorough renovation of the station is planned for 2018. A 100 m long central platform with a height of 76 cm above the top of the rails with a 30 m long platform roof is being built. The overpass will be replaced by a new building and will have three elevators for barrier-free access. In addition, the lighting and the wayfinding system will be renewed. The old platform systems, the overpass and the signal box will be demolished. A total of around five million euros will be invested, of which the state will contribute 3.1 million euros and the city of Velten around 340,000 euros. Track 4 is to be partially dismantled, as is the remains of the side platform there.

In its current state, Velten station has a total of five tracks, two of which are platform tracks (tracks 1 and 2). Of the two passing tracks on the outside, only track 3 to the east is still passable, while track 4 to the west ends in the south in front of the Rosa-Luxemburg-Straße level crossing. Another dead-end track (track 5) is located east of the aforementioned track system and is connected from the south.
The central platform is 305 meters long and 96 centimeters high. It can be reached via a steel bridge that is not barrier-free . The passing tracks were also equipped with side platforms until the 1990s, the remains of which are still there.
