At the turn of the 20th century, the railway network in Berlin increasingly developed into a bottleneck for the growing freight traffic.

In the course of the opening of the Seddin marshalling yard in the first half of the 1920s, connecting curves were built from it towards Ferch-Lienewitz and Beelitz Stadt.

In the following years the network of the Berlin bypass railways were further developed with the construction of a connecting line from Seddin towards Großbeeren and the Outer Freight Ring (Güteraußenring).

[2] The volume of traffic on the line increased in subsequent years and in the mid-1950s it was also used by express trains from Saxony to the Baltic Sea.

The line was an important supplementary route for freight transport, mainly running to/from the nearby Seddin marshalling yard.

After 2000, there was an attempt to abandon passenger services on the section between Beelitz Stadt and Jüterbog, which has relatively weak demand, but instead this line was upgraded for 100 km/h operations in 2006/07.

The attractiveness of the service has increased due to the shorter travel time and better connections in Berlin-Wannsee and, since the end of 2007, in Jüterbog.

The line was operated under the brand name of Märkischen Regiobahn (MR33) with Siemens Desiro Classic diesel multiple units.
