'''Berlin-Charlottenburg''' is a [[railway station]] in the [[Charlottenburg]] district of [[Berlin]]. The station is located on the [[Berlin Stadtbahn|Stadtbahn]] line, served by the {{lnl|Berlin S-Bahn|S3}}, {{lnl|Berlin S-Bahn|S5}}, {{lnl|Berlin S-Bahn|S7}}, and {{lnl|Berlin S-Bahn|S9}} lines of the [[Berlin S-Bahn]], as well as by [[Regional-Express]] and [[Regionalbahn]] trains operated by [[Deutsche Bahn]]. The [[Berlin U-Bahn|U-Bahn]] station [[Wilmersdorfer Straße (Berlin U-Bahn)|Wilmersdorfer Straße]] ([[U7 (Berlin U-Bahn)|U7]]) can be reached via short footpath.

==History==
[[File:Berlin-Charlottenburg Postkarte 076.jpg|thumb|left|Charlottenburg Station on Stuttgarter Platz, 1907 postcard]]
The station was opened on 7 February 1882 as the western endpoint of the Stadtbahn line in the then independent town of Charlottenburg. From here the [[Berlin-Blankenheim railway]] ran southwestwards, a section of the ''[[Kanonenbahn]]'' rail route to [[Metz]] in [[Alsace-Lorraine]].

The old station hall was damaged in [[World War II]] and only provisionally repaired afterwards. During the [[Cold War]] era parts of the track installations were reserved for the deployment of [[Berlin Infantry Brigade#|British Forces in Berlin]]. The station was the Berlin terminus for the British Military Train ('''"The Berliner"''') which carried allied military and diplomatic passengers across the [[East Germany|GDR]] to [[Braunschweig]] in [[West Germany]].<ref>{{Citation | title = British Military Train Card | url=http://www.western-allies-berlin.com/publications/other/detail/british-military-train-card  | accessdate = 2007-11-09}}</ref> 
[[File:Train station Berlin Charlottenburg Platform.jpg|thumb|left|Platforms]]
When nearby Wilmersdorfer Straße was converted into a [[pedestrian zone]], a new railway underpass was built at the site of the old station hall, which was then completely demolished and rebuilt, with the replacement opening on 6 July 1971. After the East German [[Deutsche Reichsbahn (East Germany)|Deutsche Reichsbahn]] state railway passed the West Berlin S-Bahn network to the [[Berliner Verkehrsbetriebe]] (BVG) public transport company, Charlottenburg Station in the early morning of 9 January 1984 was the starting point of the first BVG operated train.

In 2003 the distance to the U-Bahn station Wilmersdorfer Straße was shortened by shifting the two S-Bahn platforms about {{convert|200|m|ft|abbr=on}} further to the east and the opening of a new eastern entrance near the corner of the shopping street. In recent years the tracks have been equipped with [[noise barrier]]s and the 1970s entrance building has been thermally refurbished.
