Potsdam Pirschheide station

Potsdam Pirschheide is a multi-level railway station where two train lines cross at different elevations, with the Berlin outer ring passing above the Jüterbog-Nauen line. The facility serves as an interchange point for regional trains, trams, and buses.

The station opened in 1958 as Potsdam Süd and initially served as a secondary stop. After several name changes and shifts in regional transport patterns, the upper level fell into disuse until its reopening in 2024.

The station building reflects the straightforward architectural approach typical of late 1950s East Germany. Its simple design captures the practical building style that was common in that era and region.

The station provides bicycle parking and car parking spaces for visitors. Real-time information displays help travelers plan their connections across the different transport modes.

The upper platforms sat unused for 25 years before reopening in 2024. This revival demonstrates how older transport infrastructure can come back to life when regional needs change.
