DRG Class ET 168
The DR Class ET 168 (until 1941: Type "Oranienburg") was the second electric multiple unit that operated on the newly electrified Berlin S-Bahn lines. 17 trainsets in total were ordered by the ''Deutsche Reichsbahn'' in 1925 for delivery into the northern suburbs of Berlin. History Already before the electrified S-Bahn came about, there was a trial for electrified commuter trains running from Berlin Potsdamer Bahnhof, Potsdamer Wannseebahnhof to Berlin-Zehlendorf station, Zehlendorf in 1902 and from Potsdamer Ringbahnhof to Berlin-Lichterfelde Ost station, Lichterfelde Ost from 1903. Also in 1903, the AEG (German company), AEG company ran an Overhead line, overhead wire test track from Berlin-Schöneweide station, Niederschöneweide to Berlin-Spindlersfeld station, Spindlersfeld. Electrification also came about as part of the solution to increase capacity along the ''Hamburg S-Bahn, Hamburg-Altonaer Stadt- und Vorortbahn''.

Volt
The volt (symbol: V) is the unit of electric potential, Voltage#Galvani potential vs. electrochemical potential, electric potential difference (voltage), and electromotive force in the International System of Units, International System of Units (SI). Definition One volt is defined as the electric potential between two points of a electrical conductor, conducting wire when an electric current of one ampere dissipates one watt of power (physics), power between those points. It can be expressed in terms of SI base units (metre, m, kilogram, kg, second, s, and ampere, A) as : \text = \frac = \frac = \frac = \text\text^2\text^. Equivalently, it is the potential difference between two points that will impart one joule of energy per coulomb of charge that passes through it. It can be expressed in terms of SI base units (metre, m, kilogram, kg, second, s, and ampere, A) as : \text = \frac = \frac = \frac = \text\text^2\text^. It can also be expressed as amperes times ohms (curre ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Prussian State Railways
The term Prussian state railways (German: ''Preußische Staatseisenbahnen'') encompasses those railway organisations that were owned or managed by the state of Prussia. The words "state railways" are not capitalized because Prussia did not have an independent railway administration; rather the individual railway organisations were under the control of the Ministry for Trade and Commerce or its later offshoot, the Ministry for Public Works. The official name of the Prussian rail network was ''Königlich Preußische Staatseisenbahnen'' (K.P.St.E., "Royal Prussian State Railways") until 1896, ''Königlich Preußische und Großherzoglich Hessische Staatseisenbahn'' (K.P.u.G.H.St.E., "Prussian-Hessian Railway Company, Royal Prussian and Grand-Ducal Hessian State Railways") until the end of the First World War, and ''Preußische Staatsbahn'' (P.St.B., "Prussian State Railway") until its nationalization in 1920. A common mistake is the use of the abbreviation K.P.E.V. in supposed refere ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Berlin Jungfernheide Station
Berlin Jungfernheide is a railway station located at Charlottenburg-Nord, in the Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf district of Berlin, served by the S-Bahn lines and , the U-Bahn line and Regional-Express trains of the Deutsche Bahn. Its name literally translates into "maidens' heathland"; it was named after the Jungfernheide, a former large forest in the proximity of this station. S-Bahn station The S-Bahn station Jungfernheide was opened in 1894, around 20 years after the tracks were first laid on that stretch. It originally had a single island platform, served by trains of the Berlin Ringbahn. This was supplemented in 1908 by a second platform for suburban trains and then later by a third, built specifically for the new Siemensbahn, which was funded by the company Siemens to serve their plant some distance west of the station. Following the building of the Berlin Wall in 1961, however, services were disrupted and the station was reduced to having two platforms. The station ...

Düppel (Berlin)
Düppel (after Dybbøl, South Jutland, Denmark) is the name of a neighbourhood as well as of an adjacent forest in the borough of Steglitz-Zehlendorf in southwestern Berlin, Germany. The neighbourhood itself is a part of the Zehlendorf locality. History Archaeological finds indicate a Slavic settlement established about 1170. In 1242 the Margraves John I and Otto III of Brandenburg sold the area together with the neighbouring village of Zehlendorf to Lehnin Abbey. The Slavic village became abandoned about 1300, from 1975 on parts of it have been reconstructed as an open-air museum. In 1830 royal forester Friedrich Bensch built a mansion here, that was acquired by Prince Frederick Charles of Prussia in 1859. In view of his victorious command in the 1864 Battle of Dybbøl he received the title "Düppel Manor" for his estates. In 1928 Düppel was incorporated into Greater Berlin. After World War II Düppel was part of the American sector of West Berlin. In January 1946, the ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Berlin-Wannsee Station
Berlin-Wannsee station (in German ''Bahnhof Berlin-Wannsee'') is a railway station opened in 1874 which lies in the Wannsee district of Berlin, the capital city of Germany. It is an important traffic junction in south-west Berlin that is served by the ''RegionalExpress'' and ''RegionalBahn'' trains of the ''Deutsche Bahn'', the ''Harz-Berlin-Express'' of ''Veolia Verkehr'' and by the Berlin S-Bahn. In summer, Wannsee serves as the Berlin terminal for ''DB AutoZug GmbH, DB AutoZug'' car carrying trains to and from southern Europe.

Deutsche Reichsbahn (East Germany)
The Deutsche Reichsbahn (, ) or DR was the operating name of state owned railways in East Germany, and after German reunification until 1 January 1994. In 1949, occupied Germany's railways were returned to German control after four years of Allied control following World War II. Those in the Soviet occupation zone (which became the German Democratic Republic or GDR on 7 October 1949) continued to run as the Deutsche Reichsbahn, the name given to the German national railways in 1937. In West Germany, the Reichsbahn was succeeded by the Deutsche Bundesbahn (DB). Both the Reichsbahn and the Bundesbahn continued as separate entities until 1994, when they merged to form the Deutsche Bahn. Organisation The DR was the largest employer in the GDR and as a state-owned firm was directly subordinated to the GDR Ministry of Transport ''(Ministerium für Verkehr der DDR)''. From November 1954 until November 1989, the GDR Minister of Transport also occupied the position of the Direct ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Kremmen Railway
The Kremmen Railway () is a line in northern Berlin and Brandenburg, Germany. It branches off the Prussian Northern Railway in the Berlin district of Reinickendorf, north of Schönholz station (formerly ''Schönholz-Reinickendorf'') and then passes through Tegel, Hennigsdorf and Velten to Kremmen. There it connects with the Kremmen–Meyenburg line opened in 1898 to Neuruppin. In contrast to the main line railways that had been built to that time, the Kremmen Railway was the first branch line opened in Berlin. Moreover, it did not have its own terminal station but from the beginning it terminated at the Stettiner Bahnhof. The southern end of the line is now served by Berlin S-Bahn line S25. History The campaign for a connection between Berlin and the Ruppin district (now part of Ostprignitz-Ruppin) was led mainly from Velten, the population of which had grown to have over 5,000 as a result of industrialisation.
