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.

The station is located in the Berlin B fare zone of the Verkehrsverbund Berlin-Brandenburg.

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.
