Overview

Platform of the subway

The station opened on 1 October 1893 on the railway line from Berlin-Schönholz to Kremmen, meant to serve the asylum established in 1880. It originally received the name Dalldorf (Kremmener Bahn), the former name of Wittenau until 1905 and was renamed Wittenau (Kremmener Bahn) on 1 January 1906, with the suffix distinguishing it from the Berlin-Wittenau railway station on the Nordbahn line. It was connected to the S-Bahn network on 16 March 1927. In 1984 service discontinued and was not resumed until 1995.

Meanwhile, the U-Bahn station Karl-Bonhoeffer-Nervenklinik opened in the course of the northern extension of the U8 line on 29 September 1994. The S-Bahn station reopened on 28 May 1995 under the same name, although the stations are separated by a distance of about 200 m (660 ft).^[1]
