Eight years later, a station was built the still single-track line at the village of Lichtenrade, which was opened on 1 June 1883.

The Royal Prussian Military Railway ran on its western edge from 1875, but it was dismantled after the First World War in 1919.

The station offices were on the ground floor of the unadorned functional building and upstairs there was the stationmaster's apartment.

A house for rail officials was built to its north in the same style and between the two there was single-storey building with commercial space and toilets.

The stairs from the streets were enclosed in protective shelters built in "greenhouse architecture", signs with the station's name of Lichtenrade were attached to the doors.

After the building of the Berlin Wall on 13 August 1961, no trains ran to the south from Lichtenrade and the station became a terminus.

The closed tunnel and the three glass protective shelters of the original station building have been preserved, but not for access.
