The first plans for a connection from the Anhalt Suburban Line at Lichterfelde to the town of Teltow and the Cemetery Railway (Friedhofsbahn) in Stahnsdorf already existed in the 1920s.

Provision was made for the planned line during the reconstruction of Lichterfelde Süd station up to 1943, including the building of two platforms.

[3] After the end of World War II and the subsequent division of Germany, these plans were not pursued, but the route (at least in part) was retained.

In contrast to the original plans, the line was built as a single track and the construction of a station at Teltow-Seehof has not been implemented for the time being.

[6] In February 2014, the new Zugbeeinflussungssystem S-Bahn Berlin train control system was put into operation on the line.
