Berlin-Waidmannslust station, Railway station in Waidmannslust, Germany
Berlin-Waidmannslust is an S-Bahn station in Reinickendorf district in northern Berlin. The facility connects its platforms via bridges that span across Waidmannsluster Damm street and carries heritage monument status.
The station began operations in 1884 after a local innkeeper championed the idea of railway service to the area. His advocacy ultimately led the railroad to establish this connection and link the locality to Berlin.
The station building displays architectural features from the late 1800s that shape the character of the neighborhood today. The design reflects how railways once drove the development of new residential areas in Berlin's outer districts.
The station connects to several bus routes including lines 222, 322, and N22 that depart from this location. Bicycle parking facilities assist commuters with their last-mile connections to surrounding neighborhoods.
The railway connection came about through the ingenuity of a local innkeeper named Ernst Bondick who gathered people at his establishment to show railroad officials the potential passenger demand. This clever demonstration convinced the railway company to build the route and make his idea real.
