Berlin Wuhlheide Rangierbahnhof

The Berlin Wuhlheide Rangierbahnhof extends over four kilometers along the eastern Berlin Outer Ring between two railway crossings at Wuhlheide and Biesdorf.

Construction started in 1938 with plans for a 5,000-car daily capacity switching yard, but World War II interrupted the project until 1951.

The facility transformation from an industrial rail yard to the Biesenhorster Sand nature reserve represents the evolution of Berlin's transportation infrastructure.

The rail yard operated from 1953 to 1994, connecting to the electrified Deutsche Reichsbahn network in 1985 with expanded track capabilities.

The remaining exit group tracks and wagon maintenance hall stand as physical remnants of railway operations within the current nature reserve area.
