Berlin-Köpenick station

Berlin-Köpenick is a railway station in the Treptow-Köpenick district serving as a major transfer point for S-Bahn lines S3 and S47. The station building features a central hall with several platforms and is protected as an architectural monument.

The station was built in 1842 by architect Karl Cornelius and played a key role in developing the Köpenick district during the 19th-century railway expansion. Since then it has remained a consistent part of local infrastructure and continues to shape the area.

The station building displays brick facades and tall arched windows typical of 19th-century Berlin industrial architecture. These features shape the character of the square in front of the station and give the Köpenick district its historical identity.

The station is well-signposted and easy to navigate, with clear directions to the platforms and S-Bahn routes. Visitors should note that the central hall provides shelter in bad weather and that stairs lead down to the track level.

The station building was originally lit by gas lamps and still displays details from Victorian-era railway architecture that have rarely been restored. These original features offer a window into 19th-century Berlin transportation history.
