History and structure
The station planned as Kaulsdorf-West by the design and surveying company of the German State Railroad (EVDR) was built in the course of the eastward extension of the former line E, which began in 1985, to develop the large housing estate Hellersdorf and together with the other stations on the line to Hönow on July 1, 1989 opened. The station is located on the embankment of the existing S-Bahn on the Ostbahn line , which crosses the VnK line used for the U-Bahn . The embankment is crossed by the Wuhle and two pedestrian tunnels.
The U-Bahn uses the two middle tracks, the S-Bahn the two outer ones. The subway thus has two outer platforms , the S-Bahn has a central platform divided lengthways by the subway . Trains go into town on the northern platform and out of town on the southern platform. Due to the fact that the platforms are shared by the U- and S-Bahn, it is 160 meters long and is the longest in the entire Berlin subway network.
The only connecting track between the Berlin U-Bahn and the Deutsche Bahn network is located southwest of the station .
Until 2013, the train destination displays with glass panes from the opening time were still available on the S-Bahn tracks . The subway tracks are equipped with electronic DAISY indicators with light-emitting diodes , as have the S-Bahn tracks since 2013.
At the eastern entrance to the train station there is a free P + R facility to enable a smooth transition between your own vehicle and public transport .
Connection
In addition to the S5 and U5 lines, the station is served by the bus lines 191 and 291 as well as the night lines N5, N69, N90, N91 and N95 of the Berliner Verkehrsbetriebe.
