East Station
Description:
Berlin’s East Station has changed its name several times since its inception. Under the name "Frankfurt" station existed until 1845, linking with Frankfurt one of the routes in the West of Germany. Combined with the Lower Silesian and Bradenburg railways, the junction was renamed the Lower Silesian-Bradenburg, and since 1852 was called the Silesian.
In 1950, the GDR returned the status of an independent republic, and the station - its former name "East". At that time, there were international trains connecting the cities of Scandinavia and the Balkan Peninsula, as well as Budapest, Prague and Vienna.
In 1987, the station was renamed again, this time becoming Central. With this name it existed for almost 10 years, until in 1998 the city authorities called it Ostenbanhof. Since then, the purpose of the transport hub has changed. Soon the construction of the Central Station, which currently receives international flights, was completed. Of the nine railway tracks, four belong to commuter trains. There are also trains from Schönefeld Airport.
