history

prehistory

The Railway Directorate was founded in 1879 as the Royal Railway Directorate Berlin of the Prussian State Railways . After the transition from the Prussian State Railways to the Reichsbahn in 1920, it was renamed "Reichsbahndirektion Berlin". The Reichsbahndirektion Berlin continued to exist after 1947, now as one of eight directorates of the Deutsche Reichsbahn in the GDR .

1920 to 1947

The territory of this Deutsche Reichsbahn extended over Greater Berlin and the immediate vicinity of the city and in the west also extended temporarily to the Elbe . The boundaries of the directorate have been moved several times over the decades.

The management area comprised of the long-distance routes:

eastbound
To the south
To the west
heading north

1947 to 1990

Under the Deutsche Reichsbahn in GDR times, the Berlin directorate was the border directorate to West Berlin and the VR Poland . It was also responsible for the routes in West Berlin. The lower level of the management was divided into:

  • Reichsbahnamt Berlin 1 (administrative seat Berlin Ostbahnhof ) (later Frankfurter Allee 216, near the long-distance train station Berlin-Lichtenberg)
  • Reichsbahnamt Berlin 2 (administrative seat Potsdam ) (later renamed Reichsbahnamt Potsdam)
  • Reichsbahnamt Berlin 3 (administrative seat Wustermark ) (dissolved on January 1, 1968)
  • Reichsbahnamt Berlin 4 (administrative seat Berlin Nordbahnhof ) (later renamed as Vice-President Area BT of the Rbd Berlin). He was responsible for the routes in Berlin (West), the Friedrichstrasse station and the north-south S-Bahn .
  • Reichsbahnamt Frankfurt (Oder)

Today the building houses the Federal Police. The Bombardier branch in Germany has moved to Potsdamer Platz. During the time of the GDR, the headquarters of the Rbd Berlin was at Wilhelm-Pieck-Straße  140/142.

The End

On December 31, 1993, the Reichsbahndirektion Berlin was dissolved and its tasks were distributed to the independent business units created with the 1992 rail reform .
