Berlin-Grunewald station

Berlin-Grunewald is a railway station with two levels and multiple platforms, characterized by a grand entrance hall with castle-like architectural design. Trains depart from here to various directions across the city and region.

The station opened in 1879 under the name Hundekehle and received its current name in 1884 after a nearby station was renamed to Halensee. This change was part of a reorganization of the rail network in the area.

Platform 17 serves as a place where visitors can learn about deportations during World War II through information displayed there. The site invites people to engage with this difficult chapter of history.

The station is served by S-Bahn lines S1 and S7, with elevators connecting the pedestrian tunnel to the platforms for easy navigation. It is best to visit Platform 17 during daylight hours to properly experience the memorial site.

Near the freight yard stands a concrete wall with etched human silhouettes created by artist Karol Broniatowski. This art installation serves as a quiet witness to the deportations and is frequently overlooked by passersby.
