context_page_description: The Jüterbog–Nauen railway is a line that runs to the west of Berlin through the German state of Brandenburg. It runs from Jüterbog via Treuenbrietzen, Beelitz, Potsdam, Wustermark to Nauen. The line is a part of the Bypass Railway, which was primarily designed to relieve congestion on the railways in Berlin. The Wustermark–Nauen section has been closed, the Golm–Priort section is now a part of the Berlin outer ring and has been rebuilt as a double-track main line.
context_section_description: On 30 April 1996, the Wustermark–Bredow–Nauen section was closed following the reopening of the direct Berlin–Hamburg line to Berlin.
  The Regionalbahn RB21 service now runs every one to two hours on the Wustermark–Golm–Potsdam section and the section of the line that is now part of the outer ring is also used by the RB20 service and dense freight traffic. The passenger service between Wildpark (now Potsdam Sanssouci Park) and Potsdam Pirschheide was abandoned in 1994; instead trains now run to Potsdam Hauptbahnhof.
  In 1998, the bridge of the freight bypass over the Berlin–Blankenheim railway at Beelitz was closed. Instead of through trains from Potsdam to Jüterbog, trains subsequently ran between Potsdam and Ferch-Lienewitz and via Michendorf to Berlin-Schönefeld as the RB22 service.
  Beelitz Stadt, Treuenbrietzen and Jüterbog have since been served by the RB33 service from Berlin-Wannsee via Michendorf. After 2000, there was an attempt to abandon passenger services on the section between Beelitz Stadt and Jüterbog, which has relatively weak demand, but instead this line was upgraded for 100 km/h operations in 2006/07. The attractiveness of the service has increased due to the shorter travel time and better connections in Berlin-Wannsee and, since the end of 2007, in Jüterbog. The contract for the operation of the RB33 service was awarded to Veolia Verkehr and its subsidiary Ostseeland Verkehr (OLA) at the timetable change in December 2007, initially for two years, following an expressions of interest process. The line was operated under the brand name of Märkischen Regiobahn (MR33) with Siemens Desiro Classic diesel multiple units. From Monday to Friday there were approximately hourly services between Beelitz Stadt and Berlin-Wannsee.
  With the timetable change in December 2011, Ostdeutsche Eisenbahn (ODEG) took over operation of the Berlin-Wannsee–Jüterbog route.  Class 646 (Stadler GTW) articulated railcars are used on the service, which was designated as OE33. Trains run over the whole line at hourly intervals from Monday to Friday, crossing in Treuenbrietzen, and every two hours on weekends. Also since December 2011, the RB 22 service has operated directly over the Berlin outer ring  in preparation for the much-delayed opening of the Berlin Brandenburg Airport. The RB 23 (Potsdam Hauptbahnhof–Michendorf) service now runs on the Jüterbog–Nauen railway in the Caputh area.
  At the timetable change on 9 December 2012, the line numbers were standardised, so that the designation of the OE33 service was changed to RB33.
  Various buildings standing next to line are heritage-listed: the stations buildings of Potsdam Sanssouci Park and Jüterbog, which were originally built for other lines, the station buildings in Tiefenbrunnen, Treuenbrietzen, Buchholz (Zauche) and Caputh-Geltow and a signalman's house in Priort.
