Berlin-Hermsdorf station

However, the mixed operation between the two classes of trains proved to be a permanent problem, which is why in 1908 the four-track extension of the line to Hermsdorf was decided.

The new station had two middle platforms for suburban traffic, connected to a three-track sweeper and a small freight yard.

At the end of the 1910s, the Prussian government decided to electrify the three northern sections of Berlin - the Stettiner, Kremmener and Nordbahn - the latter to Hermsdorf.

As the suburban trains operated on schedule at least to Birkenwerder, the long-distance transport was omitted, the platform was demolished in 1933.

After 1952, in addition, the long-distance traffic in the Berlin area, since the route was now in the western part of the city, abandoned, the tracks were not used for the expansion of the S -Bahn line.

Despite the shrinking passenger numbers as a result of the S-Bahn boycott, which began after 1961, operations along the northern runway were maintained and continued even after the Reichsbahn strike in 1980.
