BER Airport – Terminal 5 station (German: Bahnhof Flughafen BER – Terminal 5) (formerly named Berlin Schönefeld Airport station) is a railway station in Schönefeld next to the formerly independent Berlin Schönefeld Airport, which has now been re-branded as Terminal 5 of Berlin Brandenburg Airport, just outside Berlin. The station is on the Grünauer Kreuz–Berlin Brandenburg Airport railway and is served by S-Bahn lines S9 and S45. Since October 2020 the station has no longer been served by regional trains.

History

Schönefeld airport

Berlin-Schönefeld railway station was built within 150 days and opened for the public on 10 July 1951 as part of the Berliner Außenring. On 26 February 1962, an additional platform was added and Schönefeld was connected to the Berlin S-Bahn.

BER

On 25 October 2020, the station was renamed to "Flughafen BER – Terminal 5" to reflect the re-development of Schönefeld Airport into an operational terminal of Berlin Brandenburg Airport. A few days later all train services except the S-Bahn switched to the new Terminal 1 station.

Long distance services

From May to October 2020, Intercity 17 (Dresden-Berlin-Rostock/Warnemünde) stopped in Schönefeld. Since the opening of BER, it serves BER Airport – Terminal 1-2 station instead.

Shutdown of Terminal 5

Despite the shutdown of Terminal 5 in early 2021, the station continues to be served to the same extent as during Terminal 5's existence as a part of BER, as the Terminal now hosts a vaccination center for the administration of Covid 19 vaccines.

Train services

The station is served by the following services:

• Berlin S-Bahn services Flughafen BER – Terminal 1–2 – Flughafen BER-Terminal 5 – Schöneweide – Neukölln – Südkreuz
• Berlin S-Bahn services Spandau – Westkreuz – Hauptbahnhof – Alexanderplatz – Ostbahnhof – Schöneweide – Flughafen BER – Terminal 5 – Flughafen BER – Terminal 1–2

Until October 2020 it was also served by the following services which now call at terminals 1 and 2.

• Regional-Express RE 7 Dessau – Bad Belzig – Michendorf – Berlin – Flughafen BER-Terminal 5 – Wünsdorf-Waldstadt
• Regionalbahn RB 14 Nauen – Falkensee – Berlin – Flughafen BER-Terminal 5
