Friedrichsberg station

Friedrichsberg is an S-Bahn station with a central island platform serving two tracks, where passengers enter and exit through a building on the eastern side of the railway embankment. The station provides parking for around 93 cars and bicycle storage for roughly the same number.

The station opened in December 1906 with an original building featuring a clock tower and an entrance hall decorated with frescoes. This structure was destroyed during the Second World War in 1943 and subsequently reconstructed.

The station sits within the Dulsberg district, where red brick buildings designed in the 1920s style give the area its particular look. This architectural approach shapes how the neighborhood feels and how people experience the streets around it.

The S1 line serves the station with trains running at regular intervals, offering quick connections into the city and beyond. The station is well accessible and provides waiting areas where passengers can shelter during poor weather.

The station underwent significant electrical changes between 1908 and 1941, shifting from 6.3 kilovolt alternating current via overhead lines to a 1.2 kilovolt direct current third rail system. This technical evolution reflects how railways adapted to new operational demands over time.
