The station also includes a carriage shed for historic rollingstock of the Berlin S-Bahn.
The station was opened on 23 October 1842 as one of the first on the line from Berlin to Frankfurt (Oder).
With the introduction of new rollingstock of class 481/482, which was calculated to require less maintenance, the carriage shed was closed in 2000.
In January 2010, the carriage shed was reopened due to the lack of capacity resulting from the cancellation of many services with the new rollingstock in 2009/2010.
The station is served twice per hour in both directions by RE 1 Regional-Express services towards Frankfurt (Oder) and Eisenhüttenstadt and towards Berlin, Brandenburg and Magdeburg.
