Berlin-Baumschulenweg station, S-Bahn station in Treptow-Köpenick, Germany
Berlin-Baumschulenweg is an elevated railway station in the southeastern part of the city with three platforms and two separate long-distance tracks. The layout allows multiple S-Bahn lines and long-distance trains to serve different parts of the transit system simultaneously.
The station opened in 1890 as part of the early expansion of Berlin's rail network into the southeastern suburbs. This development helped connect the growing city with its new residential areas.
The station building displays characteristic features of late 19th-century Berlin railway architecture that visitors notice upon arrival. These historical elements continue to shape the appearance of the place today and document a specific building era.
The station connects to several bus lines and is part of Berlin's fare zone B, allowing easy connections with other transit options. Travelers find good connections to different neighborhoods and can easily switch between S-Bahn and buses.
The station uses a double-track system that allows S-Bahn trains and separate long-distance trains to operate independently of each other. This technical solution was innovative in the network planning and continues to be used today.
