Berlin-Waidmannslust station

Berlin-Waidmannslust is a railway station in the neighbourhood of Waidmannslust, in the city of Berlin, Germany. It is served by the Berlin S-Bahn and by several local buses.

On 20 May 1884 the former colony of Waidmannslust received its own demand point at the Berlin Nordbahn. This was financed by the forester and innkeeper Ernst Bondick, who in this time the development and settlement of his lands promoted. Bondick took a particularly clever approach here: on the day on which a count of the departing passengers was on a trial basis, he invited all acquaintances to his restaurant, so that the railway administration was impressed by the rush and set up a permanent operation. Since long ago, the northern runway between Berlin and Stralsund had been operating here since 1877. From 1891 the line was double-railed and raised in the years 1908-1912 on their current level, here were built by the long-distance tracks separate suburban tracks between Gesundbrunnen and Frohnau. The station building and the bridges over the Waidmannsluster Damm date from this time and are now a listed building. On 5 June 1925 the line was electrified as far as Birkenwerder, then later to Oranienburg.
