Tips

The purpose of the so-called Friedhofsbahn was to provide transport links to the large cemeteries laid out outside the city around 1905. In 1913 the first steam train ran from Wannsee via Dreilinden to Stahnsdorf. For many "passengers" it was actually the last trip: the corpses were transported by train from the Halensee freight station, which had a "corpse clearance hall". In 1928, the conductor rail went into operation and an S-Bahn commuted every 20 minutes on the single-track line.
After 1952, West Berliners were only allowed to enter the GDR with a special permit. So the passengers stayed away. With the construction of the Wall in 1961, traffic was stopped.
