Berlin-Friedrichshagen station

Berlin-Friedrichshagen is an S-Bahn station serving the eastern residential neighborhood of the same name in Berlin. The structure sits elevated on supports approximately six meters above ground, with a central platform covered by a distinctive roof supported by classical pillars typical of Berlin railway design.

The station opened in 1842 as part of the Berlin-Frankfurt railway line, beginning its role in connecting the eastern suburbs to the city center. Electrification arrived in 1928 when the route was converted for suburban train operations.

The station building displays classic Berlin railway design with its distinctive support columns that have shaped the daily passage of commuters for over a century. This landmark reflects how the neighborhood connects to broader urban life through public transport.

Tram lines 60, 61, and 88 serve the station, providing local connections throughout the neighborhood. The S-Bahn runs frequently toward central Berlin, and the southern exit offers direct access to Bölschestraße for exploring the surrounding area.

East of the station lies a two-track reversing facility where trains change direction before heading back toward the city. Few visitors notice this operational detail that allows the S-Bahn to serve the line efficiently without needing turnaround loops elsewhere.
