Ahrensfelde station is a station serving regional and S-Bahn services in the Berlin borough of Marzahn-Hellersdorf. It is located on the border of Berlin just outside the municipality of Ahrensfelde, which is in the state of Brandenburg. The station has three platform edges, one side platform for the S-Bahn and a central platform for Regionalbahn and S-Bahn services.

History

The station was opened simultaneously with the Wriezen Railway on 1 May 1898, but over the years was never in the municipality of Ahrensfelde. Initially the station premises were in the Gutsbezirk (a rural district owned and controlled by a landlord) of Falkenberg, which under the Greater Berlin Act became part of the district of Weissensee. In 1979, it became part of the new borough of Marzahn and, in 2001, Marzahn was absorbed into Marzahn-Hellersdorf.

In the time of the Third Reich, it was proposed that the S-Bahn station be extended on the line to Werneuchen. This was prevented by the outbreak of the Second World War. The only part of the plan to be implemented was the inclusion of the station in the suburban fare zone in 1938.

Regional trains, originally starting at Lichtenberg, were cut back to start at Ahrensfelde with the commissioning of the S-Bahn to Ahrensfelde on 30 December 1982. Since 1993, the regional trains have continued to Lichtenberg.

Transport links

In addition to Regionalbahn service RB25 of the Niederbarnimer Eisenbahn, the station is served by line S 7 of the Berlin S-Bahn and several bus lines operated by Berliner Verkehrsbetriebe and other regional bus companies.
