History
While Lichterfelde already recorded a building boom in the early years, the development in Giesensdorf took (now part of Lichterfelde South) still on. At the beginning of the 1890s, another residential area should occur along the Anhalt line. The Volksbau company, which acquired the corresponding plots in Giesensdorf, led in 1893 to set up a breakpoint on the line to open up the parceled areas. The original aim of extending the suburban traffic lights of the field up to this point, however, was not complied with, so traffic was limited to a few long-distance trains. Since Giesensdorf and field lights were in 1878 merged to form the rural community of Great light field, the halt was called major light field south, the old Lichterfelder station was renamed to differentiate into large light field east. The construction of the suburban railway in 1901 and its electrification in 1903 reached only to large light field east. Great light field south remained a remote station with two side platforms.
The Greater Berlin Act in 1920, the city limits of the capital was relocated to just behind Lichterfelde South. In 1925 it was renamed the station in Lichterfelde South. He was still also collectively classified as a remote station and therefore accessible only at considerably higher fares. In 1938 he was included as one of the last in Greater Berlin in the Berlin suburb of tariff.
In the era of National Socialism was planned to extend the suburban tracks on Lichterfelde South and Teltow up to Trebbin in line with planning for "World Capital Germania ", also should Lichterfelde South a new route to Stahnsdorf be built and linked there with the graveyard orbit after Wannsee.
For the railway station 1942/1943 was rebuilt and provided with two central platforms for the S -Bahn traffic, while the mainline tracks now conducted without stopping. For August 9, 1943 was the first S -Bahn traffic from Lichterfelde East are taken to Lichterfelde South. Initially, only the Western Platform A was used behind this was followed by an inverse two-track system. From Lichterfelde South perverse steam trains to Ludwigsfelde.
After the war, the long-distance transport was gradually thinned out, not least because West Berlin should be accessible only by a long-distance connection. The free capacity left to now, to electrify a remote track and expand as the S -Bahn traffic up to Teltow. On 7 July 1951, the 2.6 km long section was opened to traffic. The trains alternated behind the train station on the mainline track and single track then led into the surrounding countryside.
On the night of 12 to August 13, 1961 Lichterfelde South was, however, back to the terminus of the S -Bahn trains along the Anhalt line. The reason was the construction of the Berlin Wall, which was equivalent to the interruption of the route. A short time after shutting off the border was the route but again restored for a transfer movement as in Teltow a train was parked in the said night.
In subsequent years, the traffic increased along the route steadily, crucial for this was the boycott of the S -Bahn, as has been touted the West Berlin passengers, the fare revenue the border fortifications would be financed. This fact also made sure that the staff has been steadily reduced. When the station finally stood no more staff for the sale of tickets are available, the passengers had to ask their tickets at the interlocking director of the station, the exchange of ticket and change was effected by a basket that was lowered from the interlocking tower to the passenger.
The track is one of those on which the German Reichsbahn the kingdom workers strike of September 1980, initially maintained the hull operation. The operation was set on the track until the takeover of the West Berlin S -Bahn by the Berlin Transport on 9 January 1984. The railway facilities remained unused and fell into disrepair, only the supervisory building was later converted into a dance hall.
After the reunification of the entire Berlin S -Bahn network should be placed as far as possible back to the level of 1961, hence the re-commissioning of the Anhalt line was in sight. In two steps, 1995 and 1998, there was from the re- commissioning of the S-Bahn from Priesterweg station. In Lichterfelde South, work began only in 1997, a year before the opening. The old B platform was demolished and built a new central platform in its place. When A platform, however, the old structures and the signal tower were left. On 28 September 1998, the first trains of Lichterfelde East could call at the station coming from. On 24 February 2005, the route was eventually extended to Teltow Stadt. The trains taking advantage of the first three kilometers of the previously planned route to the graveyard orbit.
