The Bahnhofanlage
S-Bahn station
The independent Pankow until 1920 was the construction of the railway, the nearest major settlement on the route to Stettin, but initially, the first stop was after the Stettin Station in Berlin only in Bernau, far from Pankow. A halt was set up in Pankow was only on 15 October 1880. Just three years earlier, the railway station in neighboring Blankenburg ( near Berlin) had been opened.
The center of Pankow is almost a kilometer from the train station on the road to Berlin. The station environment was thus in the early years of the railway far outside, but was colonized under the influence of the station soon. Today's station Pankow was renamed shortly after opening in Pankow- Schönhausen. This name referred to the far distant Schönhausen castle in nearby Niederschoenhausen. The name of the train station Pankow received the nearby station of the Berlin Northern Railway (now Station Wollankstraße ).
From about 1911 the suburb own tracks to Bernau were built at the Szczecin railway. The train station in Pankow and also the surrounding stations were rebuilt. Ten years later electrical equipment was tested on the entire suburban route. The German Reichsbahn planned initially a catenary, but the necessary masts were erected to Pankow. However, the railway administration decided to still customary in the Berlin S-Bahn operating with side power rail. For the power supply, the converter plant was built in Pankow. On August 8, 1924, the electric control mode could be included.
The effects of World War II were low for the station facility. Since 1954 is called the station Berlin- Pankow.
On the occasion of the establishment of the Metro station, the station environment was from 2003 redesigned and redeveloped the S-Bahn station. For this, the platform edges have been replaced. The bridge over the Berlin Street was replaced by a new building. The tracks of the train and the long distance railway were renewed. Since a train track was missing because of bridge work, only a limited operation was possible at the time of construction.
Former rail yard
To the north of the passenger station closed on the east side of the through route a track in 1904 and 1997 eröffneter disused rail yard on one side with two drive-in and Ausfahrgruppen and a direction group, who had a Wagenumstellleistungsfähigkeit of up to 1,800 freight cars per day. By 2007, the total railway lines and some buildings were demolished. 2009, this 250,000 square meter facility was acquired by an investor who wishes to build a shopping center with furniture store and a park.
Subway station
The plans to tap Pankow with a subway, go back over 70 years. With the extension of line A of the Berlin U -Bahn ( today's U2 ) to Pankow ( Vinetastraße ) the first opportunity arose to, but the world economic crisis was the one spanner in the works. In the following years there were further plans for a metro station. Since the respective builders were divided about the sources of money, the exact location of the train station and on possible extensions of the route, the plans remained in the drawers. The last planning on the part of the German Democratic Republic provided for a maintenance workshop in the field of freight station Pankow, preliminary work on the tunnel under the Berlin street and on the grounds of the marshalling yard were already started.
After the fall of the idea of the extension of the metro to Pankow was taken up again. The construction work began in 1997. For the construction of the 1.5 kilometer tunnel route three years were needed, in parallel to the metro station Pankow was built. The new terminus station on the U2 line opened on 16 September 2000. North of the station closes underground to a reversing facility for the trains.
The metro station is located not below the roadway of the Berlin street, but offset to the west of it. In the ongoing construction in the Pankow center so would need some houses are tunneled, but the track would run straight to the Ossietzystraße, which in turn facilitates an optional extension towards Niederschoenhausen.
