History
editSchönefeld Airport
editBerlin-Schönefeld railway station was built within 150 days and opened for the public on 10 July 1951 as part of the Berliner Außenring. On 26 February 1962, an additional platform was added and Schönefeld was connected to the Berlin S-Bahn.
Berlin Brandenburg Airport
editFrom May to October 2020, Intercity 17 (Dresden-Berlin-Rostock/Warnemünde) stopped in Schönefeld.[5] Since the opening of BER, it serves BER Airport station instead.[6]
On 25 October 2020, the station was renamed to "Flughafen BER – Terminal 5"[7] to reflect the re-development of Schönefeld Airport into an operational terminal of Berlin Brandenburg Airport. A few days later all train services except the S-Bahn switched to the new Terminal 1 station.
Despite the shutdown of Terminal 5 in early 2021, the station continues to be served to the same extent as during Terminal 5's existence as a part of BER, as the Terminal then hosted a vaccination center for the administration of Covid 19 vaccines.[8]
Due to the indefinite closure of Terminal 5, this station was renamed Schönefeld (bei Berlin) station in December 2023, reflecting it is no longer an airport station.[4]
