History
The station was opened under the name Hermsdorf (Mark) as ground-level station of the Northern Railway on 10 July 1877. Initially, only long-distance trains sailed the route, a first suburban steam trains developed around the year 1900. Since emerged in Hermsdorf at this time extended uptown and developed the site became one of the largest along the route, the Highway Maintenance persisted nonetheless. The combined operation between the two types of trains proved, however, as a permanent problem, which is why in 1908 the four-tracked expansion of the line was decided to Hermsdorf. Between 1909 and 1910, the work was carried out to high lapping the track; most stations were completed by 1912.
Since the station should be moved to Hermsdorf further north in order to develop the residential area better made it necessary to continue to use the old platform. Even as the work was done, also the continuation of the suburban railways was decided to Frohnau where a more residential area was built. Under these circumstances, the work has continued until April 1913. The new station had two central platforms for suburban services connected to it a three-pronged reversing facility and a small train yard.
End of the 1910s, the Prussian government decided to electrification of Berlin's three northern routes - Szczecin, Kremmener and Northern Railway - the latter to Hermsdorf. First, the AC operating on overhead line has been given preference. In 1922, the Free State but decided to favor the DC operation via lateral busbar. In addition, the electrical equipment should be expanded up to Oranienburg. At first the Szczecin railway on August 8, 1924 electric operation - the current S- Bahn - taking photos, the Northern Railway followed the healthy well - Hermsdorf - Birkenwerder section on June 5, 1925 The remaining piece to Oranienburg followed on October 3 of the same. year. As the suburban trains on schedule wrong at least until Birkenwerder, the long-distance traffic stop was omitted, the platform was removed in 1933.
Since the Berlin city limits on 1 October 1920 as a result of the expanded Greater Berlin Act to Frohnau behind, followed by 1937/1938 was renamed the still valid name Berlin- Hermsdorf.
After 1945, the section Wilhelmsruh birch Werder was reduced to a respective track for long-distance and commuter train. Since along the route no evasions were available, the trains were initially run only every hour. In 1948 the clock was compressed by two Dodge in Waidmannslust and Frohnau to 20 minutes Hermsdorf other hand, remained single track. After 1952 also was the long-distance transport in the Berlin area, since the route was now in the western part of the city, abandoned, the tracks were not utilized for the expansion of the S -Bahn route.
Despite the shrinking passenger numbers due to the onset after 1961 tram boycott of the operation was maintained along the north runway and even continued after the kingdom workers strike in 1980. Only with the acquisition of operating rights by the SNB on 9 January 1984, the short-term closure. As the passengers spoke out after the takeover by massive protests for an operation, the traffic was taken up again by Frohnau already on 1 October 1984. However, this only lasted until May, 1986, the route was subsequently decommissioned, demolished and rebuilt double track again. The also disused freight station was put into operation after the work is not back. On 22 December 1986, the work was completed. After German reunification, the traffic on the West Berlin border was taken up to Oranienburg again.
