context_page_description: Berlin-Marienfelde station is a station and a freight yard in Berlin, Germany. It is located on the Berlin–Dresden railway line in the locality of Marienfelde, part of the Tempelhof-Schöneberg borough. The station is part of the Berlin S-Bahn rapid transit network.
context_section_description: The station, initially named Marienfelde, opened with the Dresden Railway on 17 June 1875. A few months later, on 15 October 1875, it also became a stop on the parallel Royal Prussian Military Railway (Königlich Preußischen Militär-Eisenbahn), which ran from the Berlin Military station in Schöneberg to Zossen. Marienfelde station was far away from the built-up area of Berlin at that time. It stimulated the development of the Neu-Marienfelde mansion colony west of the tracks.
  From 1893 onwards, the station was rebuilt and extended with an island platform, which was opened in March 1903. The station has been served by third rail S-Bahn trains since May 1939.
  The former counter hall was partially destroyed in World War II; today, only the entrance to the platform remains. After the war, the line’s second track towards Lichtenrade was dismantled to provide reparations to the Soviet Union. Not until 1990, it was rebuilt in 1990, so that services could be operated at ten-minute intervals to Lichtenrade. In the early 1950s the freight depot was enlarged. The name of the station was changed to Berlin-Marienfelde on 1 August 1952.
