History
The station was opened on July 10, 1877 under the name Reinickendorf. Originally, it only had one outdoor platform. It was renamed Schönholz (Reinickendorf) in 1878 and again, in 1884, to Schönholz-Reinickendorf. In 1893, the outer platform was replaced by a central platform. At the same time, the Kremmen Railway was opened, making the station an interchange station. A reception building was added in 1896.
Between 1901 and 1903, the station was rebuilt to make way for a new road. At the same time, separate tracks were built for the Northern Railway and the Kremmen Railway was separated, so the station was then served only by suburban trains.
From 5 June 1925, the first electric trains operated on this route. As a result, the station became an S-Bahn station. The Kremmen Railway was electrified two years later, and mixed operation with steam locomotives was ended.
In May 1938, the station was renamed Berlin-Schönholz. In 1945, there was no traffic for several weeks due to the ongoing war.
On January 9, 1984, management of the West Berlin S-Bahn was transferred from the Deutsche Reichsbahn to the BVG. Both routes using the station were shut down and the station was closed. It was soon reopened on October 1, 1984 to serve the route to Frohnau. In 1995, the Kremmen Railway was also reopened, initially only to Tegel, and since 1998 to Hennigsdorf.
