Berlin-Schönholz (German: Bahnhof Berlin-Schönholz) is a railway station in Berlin, Germany. It is located on the Berlin Northern Railway line in the Reinickendorf locality, though it is named after the adjacent Schönholz quarter of the neighbouring Niederschönhausen district. From there, the western Kremmen Railway branch line leads to Hennigsdorf and Kremmen. The station is served by S-Bahn trains and several local bus lines.

History

The station was opened on July 10, 1877 under the name Reinickendorf. Originally, it only had one outdoor platform. In 1878, the station was renamed Schönholz (Reinickendorf). In 1884, the station was renamed again to Schönholz-Reinickendorf. In 1893, the outer platform was replaced by a central platform. At the same time, the Kremmen Railway was opened, making the station an interchange station. In 1896, a reception building was added to the station.

Between 1901 and 1903, the station was rebuilt to make way for a new road, and the old reception building was demolished. At the same time as Northern Railway got its own track pair, the Kremmen Railway was also separated, so the station was then served only by suburban trains.

From 6 June 1925, the first electric trains operated on this route. As a result, the station became an S-Bahn station. With the electrification of the Kremmen Railway two years later, mixed operation with steam locomotives was ended.

In May 1938, the station was renamed Berlin-Schönholz.

In 1945, there was no traffic for several weeks due to the ongoing war.

On January 9, 1984, management of the West Berlin S-Bahn was transferred from the German Reichsbahn to the BVG. Both routes using the station were shut down and the station was closed. It was soon reopened on October 1, 1984 to serve the route to Frohnau. In 1995, the Kremmen Railway was also reopened, initially only to Tegel, and since 1998 to Hennigsdorf.
