About S Wollankstr. (Berlin)

S Wollankstraße station, opened in 1893, holds a unique place in Berlin's history, particularly during the city's division. Situated directly on the former border between East and West Berlin, it served as a vital S-Bahn border crossing point from 1961 to 1989. Its platform, technically in East Berlin, was accessible from West Berlin, making it a poignant symbol of the divided city and a crucial gateway for residents. Today, it remains an important local transport hub connecting the Pankow and Reinickendorf districts.
