Berlin-Neukölln is a railway station in the Neukölln district of Berlin. It is served by the S-Bahn lines S41, S42, S45, S46 and S47 and the U-Bahn line U7.
History
[edit]Berlin-Neukölln opened in 1872, first under the name Rixdorf, as a station on the Ringbahn. Both the district and the station changed name from Rixdorf to Neukölln in 1912. The current station building was erected in 1930 by Alfred Grenander to create an interchange with the underground station which opened in that year.
Until 1961 the U-Bahn station was named Neukölln (Südring) to refer to the S-Bahn connection. However, Südring was removed from the name after the Berlin Wall was built. The S-Bahn had become unpopular and subject to boycotts in West Berlin due to its link to the East German government. In 1980 the Ringbahn ceased operating. The Ringbahn connection was reestablished in 1992 after the fall of the Berlin Wall, and the addition Südring was also reinstated.[4]
Popular culture
[edit]The front of the station features heavily in the German documentary Neukölln Unlimited as a place where the film's main subjects are often seen.
