History

Berlin-Schönefeld railway station was built within 150 days and opened for the public on 10 July 1951 as part of the Berliner Außenring. On 26 February 1962, an additional platform was added and Schönefeld was connected to the Berlin S-Bahn.

On 25 October 2020, the station was renamed to "Flughafen BER – Terminal 5"[4] to reflect the re-development of Schönefeld Airport into an operational terminal of Berlin Brandenburg Airport. A few days later all train services except the S-Bahn switched to the new Terminal 1 station.

From May to October 2020, Intercity 17 stopped in Schönefeld.[5]
