Jüterbog station

The station has lost its former importance in the fields of long-distance passenger, freight and military transport.

Also protected are the station building of the Royal Prussian Military Railway, which was used for public transport until the end of the First World War, further buildings of the military railway and the water tower of the former locomotive depot to the north-east of the station.

The now disused route from Zossen, the former Military Railway, reached the station from the north-east, a little south of the direct line from Berlin.

The district of Jüterbog II, which was built on an old barracks ground is located on the north side of the station.

The terrain falls to the south-east, towards the town centre, while on the other side it rises to the former barracks ground.

In the end a route was adopted from Berlin via Jüterbog, Wittenberg and Dessau to Köthen, where connections to Magdeburg and Leipzig existed.

At first, three pairs of trains a day ran between Berlin and Jüterbog, stopping in Trebbin and Luckenwalde.

The BAE began building the branch line in May 1847 and the section between Jüterbog and Herzberg was completed on 1 July 1848.

[8] In 1894, the line from Jüterbog to Treuenbrietzen was opened, which was extended between 1904 and 1908 as part of a planned Bypass Railway around Berlin via Potsdam to Nauen.

The move of the Imperial Artillery Shooting School (Kaiserlichen Artillerie-Schießschule) from Berlin to Jüterbog began in 1890.

In 1897, the Royal Prussian Military Railway extended its line from Berlin to Kummersdorf via Zossen to Jüterbog.

In the area around Jüterbog station, there is an embankment north-west of the existing railway that was intended to be used for the new long-distance tracks.

Extensive structures south of the station were built to provide grade-separated crossings of the lines to Röderau and Wittenberg.

The section from Zossen to Jüterbog remained in operation for civilian use, but the trains now ran to the main station.

In 1974, the station received a new relay signal box of the GS III Sp68 class, the first of its kind.

A second storey was added to the middle part of the extension building in 1906 to house an apartment for the station master.

[12] In the south-west, the original section of the station building is connected to a one-storey mail handling room built in 1874.

The design of the freight shed links with the structure elements of the station building with pedestals and ribbons of red bricks.

A pedestrian bridge runs over the railway tracks about 500 metres northeast of the platform in the area of the military station.

Jüterbog was run as an independent service point from around 1909, but it was not until 1924 that it formally became a separate Bahnbetriebswerk (locomotive depot).

[15] The monograph discussing the heritage value of the sites also covers the semi-circular roundhouse, with ten stalls, from 1914 and an administration building from the 1950s.

However, for several decades, from the end of the 19th century to the beginning of the 1990s, only some of the many Durchgangszug (express trains) running on the line stopped at the station.

During the GDR period, a passenger train ran from Jüterbog via Zossen and Erkner to Frankfurt (Oder) that was not available for use by the general public.

For a year there was an InterRegio train pair between Berlin and Oberstdorf, with a stop in Jüterbog, which was discontinued in 2000.

Since 1999, Regional-Express services have been running between Berlin and Jüterbog every hour, with the routes changing over the years.

Since 2006, Jüterbog has been connected directly to the inner city of Berlin via a restored section of the Anhalterbahn so that the detour via Schönefeld is no longer required.

Jüterbog station is the starting point for journeys on the Flaeming-Skate (a path for cycles, skateboards etc.
