The Berlin Südkreuz station is a tower station of the Deutsche Bahn at the intersection of the Berlin Ringbahn and Anhalter Bahn or Anhalter Vorortbahn . The station in the Berlin district of Schöneberg , formerly known as Papestrasse , is a transfer point between long- distance passenger transport ( ICE , IC / EC , EuroNight ) and local transport as well as S-Bahn . On the west and east sides of the station there are stops of several lines of the inner-city bus transport of the BVG , long-distance bus lines continue to stop at the station.
The crossing station with ten platform tracks is the third largest long-distance station in Berlin and is one of the 21 stations in the highest price class 1 from DB Station & Service .
In the course of the " mushroom concept " for the Berlin long-distance and regional railway network decided in 1991, the old Papestrasse station was fundamentally rebuilt from 2003 onwards. When it went into operation on May 27, 2006, it was given the name Südkreuz .
construction
The Südkreuz station has always been a tower station (like Berlin's main train station, for example ). The Ringbahn runs on the upper level in a south-east-northwest direction , and its S-Bahn lines stop at a central platform covered by the Ringbahnhalle . The north-south long-distance railway runs on the lower level in a north-south direction and continues as the Anhalter Bahn in the direction of Halle (Saale) and Leipzig and as the Dresden Railway in the direction of Dresden . There are three central platforms available for long-distance and regional traffic and one for S-Bahn traffic. All platforms are barrier-free via elevators .
Two freight tracks of the Ringbahn run past the Ringbahnhalle immediately to the south without a platform.
The shell of the third long-distance platform was initially only completed and was originally only supposed to be available after 2010 when the long-distance tracks of the Dresdener Bahn in Berlin's urban area were back into operation. After a number of operational disruptions as a result of Hurricane Kyrill , the decision was made in early 2007 to expand the platform and put it into operation by the end of 2007 in order to create additional usable capacity.
The three long-distance platforms have a length of 405 meters, the parallel S-Bahn platform is 152 meters long.
As two of the 20 so-called main stations of the Berlin S-Bahn, both S-Bahn platforms are manned by local supervision.

The Ringbahnhalle is 183 meters long and 47 meters wide. It consists of 24,900 cubic meters of concrete, 2,400 tons of steel and 3,700 square meters of glass. To the east and west, there are 2,000 square meter entrance halls that house various shops. The station was built for 115 million euros.
In a parking garage directly at the train station, there are 202 parking spaces on a parking deck with access from the south side. Deutsche Bahn is looking for an investor to further increase it. Another parking deck has been built north of the Ringbahnhalle, but there are still no access roads. Due to the convenient location, including the proximity to the Schöneberg motorway junction , multi-storey car parks with a capacity of around 2500 parking spaces have been planned.

Originally, Berlin Südkreuz was listed in the operating location directory as Berlin Papestrasse with the abbreviation BPAP and the variants BPAPR (Ringbahn) and BPAPV (Vorortbahn). The abbreviation BPAF (Berlin Papestrasse Fernbahnhof) can also be found in the train path price information system (TPIS) of the DB . Currently, there are the terms BSKR for Berlin Südkreuz (Ringbahn) and BSKV for the lower S-Bahn platform Berlin Südkreuz (suburban train).
"Zukunftsbahnhof Südkreuz"
Deutsche Bahn is testing new mobility, information and energy concepts at the station. The focus is on "a new understanding of the train station as a hub for sustainable mobility, as an intelligent guide and as a green energy center in the city of tomorrow." The station is one of 30 projects in the International Showcase Electromobility Berlin-Brandenburg, which is organized by the Federal Ministry of Transport and digital infrastructure is promoted.
A wind turbine was installed on the roof of the station at the beginning of May 2014 in order to generate electricity for charging electric cars and electric bicycles in the future. This is the first wind turbine on a train station roof in Germany. In the summer of the same year, a photovoltaic system followed the path of the sun with 53 m² of module area and an annual yield of 8,000 kWh . A micro smart grid takes over the intermediate storage of the generated energy and distribution to charging points for electric cars and electric bicycles as well as to an inductive charging system for an electric bus from the BVG.
To test new passenger information systems , three electronic car status indicators were installed on platform 3/4 at the end of October 2014 , which display the train sequence and additional information in real time and display both long-distance and regional trains. Furthermore, so-called “mobility monitors” at the platform entrances indicate other mobility options at the station, such as B. Long-distance and city buses with their actual departure times as well as the location and availability of car sharing spaces and rental bicycles.
In spring 2020, a color concept was implemented to make it easier for passengers to find their way around. The four platforms below were each given a color code (yellow, green, pink and orange in pastel shades), which can be found on the walls, elevators and pillars as well as in the circular railway hall. The concept is supplemented by additional pictograms.
history
Papestrasse station
When suburban traffic was to be operated in addition to long-distance traffic on the routes of the Anhalter Bahn and Dresdener Bahn , there was a need for a transfer station at the intersection with the Ringbahn. Its construction began in 1898 near General-Pape-Strasse , named after the Prussian General Alexander von Pape . During the construction, the old crossing structure from 1874 was replaced.
The station building was erected in the southern acute crossing angle between the ring line and the main line. The building, built according to plans by Karl Cornelius and Waldemar Suadicani , was completed in 1901.
The platform of the Ringbahn was opened on January 1, 1901 and the one for the trains of the suburban railway on December 1 of the same year. Both were offset central platforms that were connected by relatively long tunnels and stairs that led through the station building with its clock tower. There was also the access to Suadicanistrasse to the south to the Sachsendamm . The northern access went directly through the railway embankment in the direction of Werner-Voss-Damm or General-Pape-Straße.
After the Reichsbahn strike in 1980 , the S-Bahn stopped operating on the ring rail section of the Papestrasse station. From December 17, 1993 operations were resumed.
New building as Südkreuz station
In the mushroom concept for the reorganization of the Berlin long-distance traffic of the Deutsche Bahn after the fall of the wall , the station Papestrasse was intended as a long-distance station . In the course of the expansion of the new Berlin rail hub, the old north-south connections were also rebuilt, which can be used to travel in an almost straight line from Berlin to Dresden (Dresdener Bahn) and Leipzig (Anhalter Bahn). When deciding in favor of the mushroom concept, the reconstruction of several other routes was avoided, such as the electrification of the long-distance railway tracks on the Berlin Ringbahn.
Construction was scheduled to begin in autumn 1995 and completion in 2002. Forecasts were based on 79,000 boarding, disembarking and transferring passengers in long-distance, regional and S-Bahn traffic per working day at the station.
In 1996, the station received the largest concrete slab at the time, which was cast in one piece. It is located above the nearby city motorway , under part of the old suburban platform. This made it possible to complete the motorway under the railway line before the exact location of the tracks to be built later was known.
In August 1998, the Deutsche Bahn announced a design competition for the redesign of the station. On April 20, 1999, the Max Dudler architects' office was chosen as the winner from among 20 shortlisted concepts . This was followed by an examination of the concept for feasibility by an engineering office with experience in railways, in cooperation with the winner. The competition was based on an investment volume of 55 million marks , with a planned total investment in the Papestrasse station of 640 million marks (adjusted for purchasing power in today's currency: around 437 million euros).
Delays in the construction plan resulted, among other things, from complaints from residents on the old, long-disused north-south routes against their recommissioning, financing problems and new priorities for the builder and mismanagement at the Berlin Senate ; funds previously made available for this project were not called.
At the end of July 2000, Deutsche Bahn announced that it would postpone the construction of the crossing station, which had not yet started, to save costs until further notice. In the summer of 2001, work began on two new bridges for the ring freight tracks for eleven million euros. Further construction work finally started in August 2003. In order to create space for the three planned long-distance and regional platforms, the existing S-Bahn route was relocated in the station area. At the beginning of July 2004 the first construction phase was completed with the laying of the north-south S-Bahn tracks.
As part of the redesign, the ring platform was relocated by around 200 meters and rebuilt as a 183-meter-long and 47-meter-wide platform on a 272-meter-long bridge above the north-south facility. On April 4, 2005, operations began in the Ringbahnhalle, initially with one track. On June 13, 2005, this part of the station was officially commissioned, with the participation of the then railway boss Hartmut Mehdorn .
Long-distance and regional traffic operations began when the timetable changed on May 28, 2006. Initially, 50 long-distance and 76 regional train stops were offered daily. The new long-distance platforms - tracks 3 and 4 as well as 7 and 8 - were opened to the public on May 27, 2006. A third platform - tracks 5 and 6 - was put into operation for long-distance and regional traffic when the timetable changed in December 2007 in order to have reserves in the event of disruptions in the north-south tunnel. The platform for the S-Bahn - tracks 1 and 2 - went into operation earlier.
In 2007 the Federal Audit Office criticized the fact that the Federal Ministry of Transport, Building and Urban Development financed the construction of the station forecourt at Südkreuz with 5.9 million euros without a legal basis.
Since August 2017, train handling has been carried out on the lower S-Bahn platform by the driver using a driver's cab monitor (ZAT-FM).
The federal police leads from August 2017 to January 2018, a pilot project for face recognition by where in the west hall of the station by a video surveillance the presences of 300 human volunteers is to be determined with three cameras.
environment
To the south of the station is the Schöneberger Südgelände with the Südgelände Nature Park , which was built on the tracks of the former Berlin-Tempelhof marshalling yard .
On December 17, 2007, the western station forecourt was named after the actress and chanson singer Hildegard Knef , who grew up in Schöneberg .
The eastern forecourt was expanded in the style of the western square by the end of April 2011. General-Pape-Strasse was relocated for this purpose. The square was named on May 25, 2011 after the resistance fighter Erika von Brockdorff .
Connection
Long-distance trains run regularly from the station to the south to Halle (Saale), Leipzig, Munich , Dresden, Prague , Vienna , Budapest and to the north to Hamburg , Kiel , Westerland / Sylt . Regional Express trains run to Rathenow , Rostock , Schwedt / Oder , Stralsund , Lutherstadt Wittenberg , Falkenberg / Elster , Ludwigsfelde and Elsterwerda .
