Lichtenrade station, Berlin S-Bahn station in Lichtenrade, Germany
Lichtenrade station is an S-Bahn stop in southern Tempelhof-Schöneberg with two platforms connected by stairs and a pedestrian bridge. The yellow brick station building houses ticket machines, bicycle storage, and elevators to serve daily commuters.
The station began in 1883 as a simple gravel platform and received its distinctive yellow brick building by 1892. It grew from an isolated railway stop into an important transport hub for the southern suburbs.
The station building displays the style of Berlin's outer suburbs around 1900 with its distinctive yellow brick and two-track layout. The stop still shapes the character of this southern district area today and connects different neighborhoods together.
The station is easily reached by five bus lines and offers plenty of bicycle parking for commuters. Elevators provide access for wheelchairs and strollers, making it simple for all travelers to reach the platforms.
A Prussian military railway ran along the western edge and did not close until 1919, having handled troop movements for decades before that. This secondary line has vanished completely today but still leaves traces in the landscape.
