The best city hikes and walks around Volkspark Jungfernheide

Varied Spree riverside path with green spaces, shady trees, numerous underpasses, and of course a great view of the Spree. Runners, hikers, and cyclists use it frequently. Sometimes a bit too crowded to run through.

Very beautiful bridge. I like this type of bridge architecture, where there are no stairs, but rather you go up and down in rounded arches. You have to be a bit careful because of the cyclists. Unfortunately, there's a lot of property damage here, too. Almost all the lights are broken, and everything is covered in paint.

One of those circular bridges that takes you up in several curved arches and then back down the other side. You have to be a bit careful because of the cyclists, but you can take beautiful photos from above of the water and the harbor area.

The 4.5-kilometer-long Siemensbahn line ends at Gartenfeld station. Residents of the new housing developments on Gartenfeld Island will particularly benefit from the new station. This station will also be renovated in accordance with historic preservation regulations. As part of the work, a new, barrier-free entrance will be created to the south of the station. Part of the former sidings will be rebuilt in the station forecourt. S-Bahn trains can be cleaned and serviced there. For noise protection reasons, the four maintenance tracks will be housed in a hall. The historic interlocking system will no longer be needed and will be dismantled. A new electronic interlocking system (ESTW) will be built. Further information about the planned reactivation can be found at https://www.i2030.de/siemensbahn/.

The Siemensbahn railway is scheduled to be reactivated by the end of 2029 and connect the "Siemensstadt Square" district, which is being developed in parallel (https://www.siemensstadt.siemens.com/de), to the railway. The most important access point to the new residential and workplace areas is Siemensstadt station. In the future, trains will run from here every ten minutes towards the center of Berlin. The station will be renovated in accordance with historic preservation standards and equipped with a new platform roof, new barrier-free platform entrances, and a new station building. A special feature of Siemensstadt station is that the station, including the platform entrances, is partially built as an elevated platform. The platform bridge rests on the track bridges of the Rohrdamm railway overpass. More information is available at https://www.i2030.de/siemensbahn/.

As part of the reactivation of the Siemensbahn line between Jungfernheide and Gartenfeld, the bridge over the Spree River will be expanded to include a third track for the S-Bahn (metro). The new track will be carried over the Spree River on its own bridge on the north side. Northwest of the Spree Bridge, on Tegeler Weg, is the former rectifier substation (GUW) for the S-Bahn. This substation provides traction current for the trains. The GUW is in the path of the third track and will be rebuilt at a new location. Two additional new GUWs will be built along the entire route. Further information on the reactivation of the Siemensbahn line can be found at https://www.i2030.de/siemensbahn/.

On December 13, 1929, Siemens and the Deutsche Reichsbahn (German National Railway) unveiled the new Siemensbahn in Berlin to the public, and official operations began five days later. The journey on the 4.7-kilometer line from Jungfernheide S-Bahn station via Wernerwerk and Siemensstadt stations to Gartenfeld took less than ten minutes, and trains ran every five minutes during rush hour. Highly praised at the time in the daily and trade press, the gap between the Ringbahn and the Siemensstadt district of Spandau has, however, been living a shadowy existence for four decades and is one of Berlin's most famous "lost places." This is set to change in the near future as part of the "new Siemensstadt" project.
