History
The aboveground station originated with the construction of the ring road in 1871. Originally it was located a little further west of the current station, but was in 1895 at the temple Damm (then Berlin Street ) laid in order a then existing there base of the Guard Train- battalion of better connecting to the rail network.
In 1928 the passenger tracks of the circle line were electrified in 1930 and incorporated into the system of the Berlin S-Bahn. At the same time Tempelhof received with the prolongation of the U6 to the south a subway connection, so on December 22, 1929 in the amount of Südring a subway station was built under the temple Damm. From then on there were interchanges between the S- and U -Bahn. Metro Station Tempelhof ( South Ring ) was built to a design by architect Alfred Grenander.
According to the Wall in 1961 it came into West Berlin in protest against this to the S -Bahn boycott, which was pressure on the East German government should be exercised, controlled the Berlin S-Bahn network on the German Reichsbahn. This led to an extremely sharp drop in passenger numbers of the S-Bahn. Following a strike by the West Berlin S -modeler it came as a consequence, the decommissioning of a large number of S-Bahn routes in the territory. So was also the West Berlin part of the ring road - and thus also the S-Bahn station Tempelhof - taken out of service in September 1980. The underground station remained in operation, but without the addition Suedring in his name.
It was only after the German reunification, the passenger on the Berlin S -Bahn ring was reactivated gradually. However, plans for the then Senate drafted before the fall of the Berlin Wall. The S-Bahn station Tempelhof was taken on 17 December 1993 with the reopening of the Südringstrecke Baumschulenweg -Westend back into operation and has since been back a transfer station between the S- and U -Bahn.
