The Zehlendorf Süd station is a former stop on the Berlin – Potsdam trunk line . The S-Bahn station was located between the Zehlendorf and Düppel stations on Clauertstrasse in the Düppel district in the Zehlendorf district .

history

At the corner of Clauertstrasse , the Düppel correctional facility was built in 1953 , and in the years that followed, the prisoners farmed it there. At the end of 1970 / beginning of 1971, the Deutsche Reichsbahn began , probably at the request of the facility manager, with the construction of a stop on the main line, which has been in electric shuttle service since 1948. In addition, the Reichsbahn wanted to develop a new development area for the S-Bahn. At the beginning of 1971 there were disagreements with the American command. Since the Deutsche Reichsbahn regarded the railway facilities in the western sectors as the property of the German Democratic Republic , they had prepared the construction of the stop under GDR law. The Western Allies, on the other hand, insisted that the Reichseisenbahn assets, as confiscated Reich assets, be subject to Allied control and that applicable law should therefore continue to exist. In this case, a plan approval according to the Reichsbahngesetz of July 4, 1939 was planned. A senate department then took over the development of the plan approval procedure on behalf of the Reichsbahn, so that construction work could be continued in September 1972. On December 20, 1972, the Zehlendorf Süd stop was opened. It was the only stopover on the 2.2 kilometer long route. Due to the side platform that was only around 70-80 meters long, the station was only suitable for half-trains . The halt was the Reichsbahn's first new station in West Berlin since 1946 and the only S-Bahn station in West Berlin that it had built on its own.

In September 1980, as part of the Reichsbahn workers' strike, the station, just like the Düppel station , was closed and then not reopened.

There was no formal decommissioning procedure. In 2017, more than 35 years after the station was closed, it will continue to be listed under the name Berlin-Zehlendorf Süd in DB Netz's directory of operations.
