For the first time in 25 years, regional trains began stopping at the upper level of the Pirschheide station.

Commuter trains ran from the lower platforms of the Hauptbahnhof to Babelsberg via Potsdam Stadt and towards Wildpark or Beelitz and Jüterbog.

In addition to the Sputnik trains to Werder (Havel) or Berlin Schönefeld Flughafen and Berlin-Karlshorst, trains still ran hourly on the western section of the outer ring to Falkenhagen until 1994 or temporarily on a through route between Oranienburg and Ludwigsfelde.

From the lower level of the station, services ran every two hours towards Beelitz and Jüterbog in one direction and Potsdam Stadt in the other.

The platform on the upper level continued to be served until 1999 by a single daily pair of trains from Strausberg to Golm.

After years of closure, the facilities resembled a ghost station that had been left to decay.

Weeds on the platforms, the shattered panes of the sealed-off stairwells and boarded-up waiting rooms characterised this image.

The old information displays made in Czechoslovakia on the upper platforms are still present, although they are no longer functional.

The exit signals of the crossing track are switched off, but are operational, the position of the points has been locked, but they still exist.

Since then, the RB 22 line has been running again over the Berlin outer ring, but without stopping at the platforms of the former upper part of Pirschheide station.

[7] Another reason for the planned reactivation of the stop was the interchange with the RB 22 to buses and trams to Potsdam and Werder.

[14] In the immediate vicinity of the station are the Sparkassen (state savings bank) academy, several hotels and recreational areas of interest for hikers: the Templiner See and the Pirschheide.

At the end of the 2010s, the development of a new urban district with several hundred new apartments was also planned in the area surrounding the station.

Proposals to demolish it have been precluded by its notable functionalist architecture in the style of the late 1950s, which would justify conversion for new uses.

[16] In 2013, Potsdam Pirschheide station, including its paved forecourt, was heritage-listed by the state of Brandenburg.
