Process

The Siemens course begins at the station young remote heath, where it has connection to the ring course. From there out it runs to the west and branches approximately on same height as the ring course. Differently as these it takes however the way northward and reaches than first the station Werner work. After the station it makes an extensive ninety-degree angle, runs briefly to the west, where the station Siemens city is and afterwards after northwest. After well a kilometer it reaches the railway terminal garden field. This was equipped additionally with a rider signal tower and a sechsgleisigen storage plant. The distance is on whole length as viaduct course put on, only the railway terminal garden field lies ebenerdig.

History

Already in the year 1905 the Siemens company let a company-owned station for its coworkers furnish, so that this faster at the work could arrive. As (late Siemensstadt ) the opened station at that Hamburg ones and Lehrter course could register also high passenger numbers at the beginning of, lay however compared to the work area still unfavorably. Since besides in the 20's of the last century the weight shifted into the northern Siemens city, an alternative solution became ever more urgent. 1925 informed themselves finally Siemens and the DRG on the building of a distance.

The company took over the building of the route as well as the equipment of the stations, which made the country available anyway. The National Railroad should manufacture only the enterprise. That the arrangement ran off thereby so smoothly played surely also a large role, finally was Carl Friedrich of Siemens, the boss of the company at the same time president of the board of directors of the DRG.

The building began 1927 and after two years was locked. On 18 December 1929 traffic could be taken up. The courses drove the large electrification of the citizens of Berlin city, ring and Vorortbahnen from the first hour on electrically, were straight in the full course. In the first years until or Papestrasse was driven through. The numbers of the passengers, a majority of it work workers, rose drastically up. By approx. 90,000 coworkers, who Siemens at this time alone in the Siemens city busy, about 17,000 took that the rapid-transit railway of and to their job, operating in the 5-Minutentakt.

Also here the war like so often made everything destroyed. In the development plan of Albert Speer one planned still another railway junction at the end of the distance, now had one the distance to again develop. The second track was dismantled here as with so many distance and shipped into the USSR, besides the was briefly behind the branch destroyed. On 17 September 1945 an auxiliary bridge was furnished, which double-railed enterprise could on 3 December 1956 after the new building of the is again taken up. The numbers from in former times were however there already history; the Siemens company had already shifted its head office to Munich. The distance was from now on one at few the used in the entire citizen of Berlin net, therefore the courses to young remote heath were withdrawn, it were used usually older vehicles of the series ET 168 and ET 165. Only one 20-minutes pulse was driven last, the passenger numbers sank with the exception of 30-40 commuters.

After the Reichsbahnerstreik in September 1980 traffic was stopped also here on the distance. Since the Siemens city can be attained since the same year by means of the U7, a restarting operation appears meaningful only if one will extend the distance by a station into the water city Spandau. The chances for a realization of the project are however small.
