The best running trails in Märkisch-Oderland

Today's "Petershagen Nord" stop is the third station to bear the name Petershagen: From September 1872 to January 1875, the station now known as Fredersdorf was called "Petershagen." In 1919, it was renamed, and the stop on the Fredersdorf-Rüdersdorf railway line, which had opened in September 1872, was given the name "Petershagen." The current station on the Prussian Eastern Railway was initially opened under the name Giebelsee. The original planned name was Eggersdorf station. However, the Petershagen municipal administration complained to the Reichsbahn Directorate (Rbd) in Berlin, as the station was located within their district. With the timetable change on May 30, 1965, the Reichsbahn discontinued passenger service on the Fredersdorf-Rüdersdorf line. Two years later, on May 28, 1967, it renamed the Giebelsee stop Petershagen Nord.

There are relatively few rest areas along the 66 Lakes Trail. Here, there's a table and benches for a break, although there's no shelter, so you can still rest for a while.

As part of the expansion of the S5 East line, an expansion of the Petershagen Nord station is being investigated. The pedestrian underpass to the west of the station has already been designed for a second track. The extent to which this preliminary work can be used under current regulations is the subject of ongoing investigations. In any case, the second platform edge would be approximately 150 meters long, and a new barrier-free access would be planned. The Eggersdorfer Straße level crossing is located immediately east of the station. Due to increasing train traffic, replacing the level crossing is being considered: theoretically, either a railway overpass (EÜ) or a road overpass (SÜ) are conceivable. All other level crossings along the line are also being considered in the in-depth studies. More information about the project can be found at https://www.i2030.de/sbahn/.

Just two months after the granting of city charter in 1998, the town hall was completed as a central meeting place for all generations. Located near the train station – on the former site of the Rütgerswerke factory – it is a place for culture enthusiasts, those eager to learn, and recreational athletes alike. Flexible wall elements, smaller individual rooms, and versatile technical equipment allow for a wide variety of event settings and sporting activities. The annex houses a privately run bowling alley.
