The station is located in the Berlin C tariff area of the Berlin-Brandenburg transport association.

History

After the opening on 24 May 1868 the station was initially in Miersdorf at Hankels Ablage and was called Hankels Ablage Bude 21. In the first few years there were only sporadic stops there, and regular stops from 1 June 1874. In 1892 the name was changed from Hankels Ablage Bude 21 to Hankels Ablage Zeuthen. The original platform was south of the forest road.

To better serve the place, the platform was relocated 200 metres north to the northern side of the forest road. The new station, which opened on 1 November 1897, was named Zeuthen. ^[3]

Due to war damage, the station was closed from April 1945 to 21 June 1945. On 30 April 1951 the first electric S-Bahn trains served the station. Towards the end of the 1960s, the crossing track in the station was put into operation. On 19 February 2001 a new platform access was opened at the southern end of the platform.

In 2018, work began to create barrier-free access to the platform. The pedestrian underpass will be modernized, and three elevators will be installed. In addition, the stairs to the platform will be renewed. The work should be completed in October 2019. ^[4]

Investments

In 1967 the station had four tracks numbered from three to six. Track 3 was 730 metres long, track 4 was 520 metres, track 5 was 480 metres and track 6 was 180 meters. 18 points were available for traffic. ^[5] The station has a central platform on the S-Bahn tracks. The main access to the platform is on its north side, it can be reached via a pedestrian tunnel from both sides of the track via stairs. At the exit of the stairs there is a small access structure on the platform.
