The station Waßmannsdorf is a stop of the S-Bahn Berlin in Waßmannsdorf in the municipality of Schönefeld on the railway line Grünauer Kreuz – Berlin Airport BER . It was completed in October 2011, but has not yet gone into operation. It is expected to open on October 31, 2020 with the opening of Berlin Brandenburg Airport. There was a train station in the village from 1951 to 1982. This was not in the same place and was exclusively the depot on the Berlin outer ring .
location
Waßmannsdorf train station is about 800 m southwest of the center of Waßmannsdorf. The Schönefeld airport is about four kilometers away, the new Berlin Brandenburg Airport about one and a half kilometers. The office is located between town and federal highway 96a. It belongs to the Berlin C tariff area of the Berlin-Brandenburg transport association .
old trainstation
On July 10, 1951, a train station called Waßmannsdorf was opened on the outer ring of Berlin . It was about four kilometers west of Schönefeld Airport and was on a railway embankment west of Dorfstrasse. It only served business purposes and was not open to passenger traffic. The plans from 1951 initially provided for four platform and three freight tracks. In 1958, an 840 m long northern passing track was added to the two continuous main tracks. In the course of the expansion of the Berlin outer ring to three or four tracks, the operations center was closed on May 7, 1982 .
New breakpoint
On October 30, 2011, the new stop was completed. The office has officially existed since June 17, 2011. It is located on the route from Grünauer Kreuz to Berlin Brandenburg Airport. The costs for this amounted to around seven million euros (as of January 2014), which the Schönefeld community financed itself. After the opening of the airport (BER) was delayed even further, June 3, 2012 was set as the opening date for the airport and the stop, which could not be kept. The stop in Waßmannsdorf is expected to open when the airport goes into operation in 2020.
The community of Schönefeld asked for the S-Bahn to serve Waßmannsdorf even before BER opened. The S-Bahn Berlin GmbH examined various possibilities, whereby a shuttle train service was considered. On June 17, 2011, Deutsche Bahn announced that it would allow trains to stop in Waßmannsdorf in 2012, which has not yet been implemented. Trains now run through regularly to ventilate the BER tunnel station .
Investments
The station is located on an embankment south of the village of Waßmannsdorf in an open field. There is no direct connection to the town because the tracks of the Berlin outer ring are in between. The only road connection is possible from the east. The station has two outer platforms, each of which can be reached from the surrounding area via an access structure with stairs and lifts.
The section between Waßmannsdorf and the airport train station is to be controlled via the Selchow electronic interlocking , with train handling being carried out via a remote monitoring system from the Schönefeld airport train station. If the camera fails, it is not possible to stop in Waßmannsdorf in the direction of BER airport, as the driver cannot handle himself due to the tight curve. If there is no local supervision, the stop will be omitted. In the direction of Schönefeld, the driver can handle his train himself, as the platform there is on the inside of the curved track.
Park & Ride facilities and a bus stop are planned for the forecourt. The access to the P + R area, which has already been structurally completed, is currently blocked by concrete elements.
ILA
After the Berlin International Aviation and Space Exhibition had to move its location to the southwest side of the future Berlin Brandenburg Airport in 2012 , it was initially planned that a large part of the visitor traffic on public days would be handled via the Waßmannsdorf S-Bahn station, which is nearby of the new exhibition site. However, the Federal Police forbade its use shortly before the start of the exhibition because the train station was too small for the expected influx of visitors. In particular, it was criticized that the platforms were too narrow and that there was only one elevator and one staircase per platform. When planning the station, possible visitor traffic for the ILA was not taken into account. The station was financed exclusively by the community of Schönefeld and only on their needs, i.e. H. the location itself, a future industrial park and employees of the airport. The Messe Berlin had the Federation of German aerospace industry u. a. Convinced of the continuation of the ILA in Schönefeld with the convenient transport connection via S-Bahn, but not involved in the planning of the station. A provisional expansion of the station would have cost € 400,000, which nobody wanted to raise. In addition, the operational management would have become complicated: Since there are no switches in Waßmannsdorf, the trains from Waßmannsdorf would initially have had to travel empty to BER airport and from there back. Local public transport for the ILA 2012 and 2014 was therefore only possible with shuttle buses and taxis.
