[1] The station is located in the Babelsberg district and is surrounded by the streets of Rudolf-Breitscheid- Straße, Karl-Liebknecht-Straße, Schulstraße and Wattstraße.

The first station in Babelsberg was opened on the main line in 1862 under the name of Neuendorf as a special stop for the royal trains of the King of Prussia, William I.

[5] As of 11 June 1928, the station was served by electric trains of the Berlin Stadtbahn, the Ringbahn and the suburban railways, which have been branded as the S-Bahn since 1 September 1928.

The introduction of border controls for inter-zone traffic (between East and West Germany in February 1951 meant that the station was closed for several days.

After the re-opening of the border in 1989, a connection from Babelsberg via Griebnitzsee to Berlin-Wannsee was restored on 22 January 1990 using diesel trains.

Both platforms are each connected by stairs with skylights to an entrance room, which formerly included ticket offices.
