Priesterweg station is on the Anhalt Suburban Line in the district of Schöneberg in the Berlin borough of Tempelhof-Schöneberg.

Located east of the station on former rail yards is the Natur-Park Schöneberger Südgelände (South Grounds Nature Park).

Southwest is the Insulaner (literally “islanders”, which was derived from the name of a cabaret program broadcast on Rundfunk im amerikanischen Sektor during the Berlin Blockade), a hill formed of rubble created by Second World War bombing raids, which the Wilhelm Foerster Observatory is located on.

Rail services were abandoned towards the end of the Second World War in April 1945.

Platform A was demolished and rebuilt a little further south; it was put back into service on 29 June 1992.

The old entrance and the station building have been preserved, but they now lie at the northern end of the platform.
