Berlin Ostbahnhof (Berlin East Railway Station) is a mainline railway station, dating to 1842, when, a short way north of its present location, it was the terminus of a 100 km railway from Frankfurt on the Oder. The station was severely damaged in World War 2, being rebuilt, as one of two major stations in East Berlin, by the East German Railway and re-named Berlin Ostbahnhof in 1950. It is only 200 m from the Berlin Wall section now known as the East Gallery. The present station building was completed in 2002, after the post-war structure had been rebuilt in 1987. The station has 11 tracks and 9 platforms. Five platforms serve main line passengers. Four are for S-Bahn metro trains. Two lines are through tracks. There are no links to the Berlin U-Bahn network.
