History


See also: Mauerpark § Old Nordbahnhof

Berlin Nordbahnhof opened on 10 July 1877 as the southern terminus of the Berlin Northern Railway Berlin-Stralsund. The passenger traffic was handled by the nearby Stettiner Bahnhof, located at the western end at Bernauer Straße. The Nordbahnhof was a freight yard only except for the years from 1892 to 1898 when a part of local traffic started from Nordbahnhof instead of Stettiner Bahnhof during construction works there.

In 1950 the Stettiner Bahnhof took the name Nordbahnhof because the city of Stettin went to Poland and GDR government did not want to use German names for Polish cities. The old Nordbahnhof was renamed to Güterbahnhof (freight yard) Eberswalder Straße. After the building of the Berlin Wall, in 1961, only a small part of local freight traffic remained. It was finally closed in 1985. After 2000 a large fraction of the area became part of the Mauerpark.[2]

Nowadays the ground where the station's tracks were located is the seat of the Mauerpark, a commemorative park about the Berlin Wall on the former "death strip" nearby Bernauer Straße. Some years before the renewal of Gesundbrunnen station (2006) it was possible to see some remains of the tracks, now removed, from the Ringbahn, between Gesundbrunnen and Schönhauser Allee station.

[de] Bahnhof Berlin Eberswalder Straße

Der Bahnhof Berlin Eberswalder Straße (bis 1950 Berlin Nordbahnhof) an der Bernauer Straße war der Anfangspunkt der Berliner Nordbahn. Bis auf wenige Jahre Ende des 19. Jahrhunderts diente er ausschließlich dem Güterverkehr. Durch seine Lage zwischen Ost- und West-Berlin verlor er infolge der Teilung Berlins ab 1948 an Bedeutung, war aber lange Zeit noch für einzelne Anlieger in Betrieb. Die Deutsche Reichsbahn legte 1985 die verbliebenen Anlagen des Bahnhofs still. Der ab 1992 entstandene Mauerpark umfasst den größten Teil der Flächen des ehemaligen Bahnhofs. Von dessen Bauten ist nur wenig erhalten geblieben, bekanntestes Relikt ist der früher unter den Gleisen verlaufende denkmalgeschützte Gleimtunnel.
