<br>The breakpoint Lichterfelde opened on September 20, 1868 and became the first suburban station on the Anhalter Bahn. On 15 July 1884, the station was renamed in Groß-Lichterfelde. The next was on September 1, 1886 in Groß Lichterfelde B.H.. (on the railway Berlin-Halle). And on January 1, 1899 renamed in Groß-Lichterfelde OST, to distinguish it from the train station Lichterfelde West.<br><br>After one four-tracked had expanded the line from Potsdamer ring station to Groß-Lichterfelde OST around the turn of the century, a special suburban was driving in 1901. As a result, the track was predestined for another innovation: from June 4, 1903, you drove an electric trial operation with 550 volts DC to Potsdamer ring station from here and thus gained for a newly building S train system.<br><br>Between 1915 and 1916, the whole station area with the exception of the freight depot was laid on an embankment. Architect Karl Cornelius (also the creator of the water tower at the railway station Ostkreuz) was responsible for the building. The station itself was a central platform for the suburban services and two platforms for the mainline. March 21, 1925 the station was renamed (one already suspects what comes back) East in Lichterfelde.<br><br>On July 2, 1929, the station then received S electric railway operation with 750 volts DC, as we know it today. It approached the 15th May 1936 and thus the next name change: now the station Berlin-Lichterfelde was called East. On their way to and from Berlin long-distance trains stopped here until the closure of the Anhalter railway station on May 18, 1952. Then there was only the S-Bahn trains until January 9, 1984. The line was then closed with transferring operating rights held on the same day by the BVG. There were plans for a wake-up ever again, but who knows Berlin, knows: paper is patient.<br><br>On May 28, 1995, the reopening as Lichterfelde was then finally East. The station served as a temporary terminus for the trains from the North until September 25, 1998.
Since 28 May 2006, the regional railways (i.e., ms) keep on two new side platforms.
