The Wannsee Railway () is a suburban railway in Berlin running from Potsdamer Platz via the Ring line station of Schöneberg to Wannsee station on Großer Wannsee, a lake after which it is named. Today it is a section of the Berlin S-Bahn line S1. The original section of the Wannsee Railway was built in 1874 and branched off at Zehlendorf from the Potsdam trunk line and rejoined the line at the current Griebnitzsee station. After the opening of the Lichterfelde West station on the trunk line in 1872 to serve the new

Wannsee is served by the Berlin S-Bahn lines S1, as terminus, and S7, at the Berlin-Wannsee railway station. It is also a stop of some long-distance trains as well as of

As a result, the unifying of "Wannsee" and "Ring" tracks at "Sedanbrücke" was not realised. Today a new station, Berlin Julius-Leber-Brücke station is located near the site of the old "Kolonnenstraße" station.

After a strike by West Berlin employees of the East German Railways in 1980 passenger service were not resumed on the Wannsee line.

Both these stations were located further south, with the north entries just north of the line "Bernburger Straße". In 1901, separate tracks for the suburban line along the Anhalter Bahn to Lichterfelde-Ost were built together with a number of new stations. The Berlin city terminus was moved from the Anhalter Bahnhof to the Potdam Ringbahn station. This line was the

The two routes to central Berlin diverge by way a flying junction between Wannsee and Nikolassee stations. The station entrance building lies to the north of the station, and is linked to the platforms by a subway. To the south of the entrance are two island platforms used by the S-Bahn services, and then a single longer island platform used by Deutsche Bahn and Veolia trains.

Between the fall of Berlin Wall and 1 April 1992, Potsdam was connected through the fastest way via Griebnitzsee to interchange at Wannsee, besides transit traffic. S1 was temporarily extended from Wannsee to Potsdam Stadt from 2003 to 2006. S-Bahn line S1 terminates at Wannsee, and operates to and from central Berlin via the "Nord-Süd-Tunnel".

Extensive work was required at stations in particular. It was reopened as line S1 on 1 February 1985. Today, the Wannsee line is again an important link from the south-western residential areas to central Berlin.

The Strandbad Wannsee is an open-air lido on the eastern shore of Großer Wannsee lake, a large bay of the Havel river in Berlin, Germany. Opened in 1907, it is one of the largest inland lidos in Europe, with a beach that is long and wide, replenished with sand from the Baltic coast. The entire ensemble of long, low buildings that appear to grow out of the underlying sandhills were designed by Richard Ermisch and fellow architect Martin Wagner in 1929–1930; it is today placed under monumental protection.

A special military train regularly operated between Berlin and Moscow until 1994 when the Russian military finally withdrew from Germany. Each of the Western Allies also maintained their stations and ticket offices in their respective zones: The Western Allies operated military trains over DR lines converging on the route between Berlin-Wannsee and Marienborn. DR conductors and engine crews managed these trains while military transport officers and soldiers dealt with their passengers and the Soviet military checkpoint officials at Marienborn. The presence of the DR in West Berlin was costly to the GDR – the

Originally using 550 V DC, it was converted to 800 V in April 1929, in the course of the "Grand Electrification" of the core of Berlin's city, Ring, and suburban lines. The lines terminating in the Potsdamer Bahnhof Wannsee station and the mainline terminus had to wait until 15 May 1933 to be electrified.

Also to the west of Potsdamer Bahnhof, and set back south by some 300 meters, a separate station for Wannsee line services called Wannsee Bahnhof was established. From 13 July 1900 to

When suburban fares were extended to it in 1938, it was s one of the last parts of Greater Berlin to be included in the Berlin suburban fare zone. In the Nazi era, as part of the planning for World Capital Germania, an extension of the suburban line via Lichterfelde Süd and Teltow to Trebbin was planned along with a new line to be built from Lichterfelde Süd to Stahnsdorf to link there with the Cemetery Railway to Wannsee.

While the regular railway tariff was based on multiplying the distance covered with a fixed price per kilometer, the special tariff for this Berlin tariff zone was based on a graduated tariff based on the number of stations touched during the travel. The core of this network, that is the cross-city ("Stadtbahn") East-West line and the circular "Ringbahn", and several suburban branches were converted from steam operation to a third-rail electric railway in the latter half of the 1920s.

When Wannsee became part of the Zehlendorf borough with the incorporation of "Greater Berlin" in 1920, Steinstücken (with the exception of the Potsdam Forest section) came with it, although it was not physically connected to the city. Until 1945 this fact was of little significance; daily life was orientated towards Babelsberg, a district of Potsdam, where Steinstücken is located. At the end of World War II in 1945, West Berlin's city boundary became the dividing line between the Soviet zone of Germany and the

After the First World War, the importance of the lido at the Wannsee increased, not only among the people of Berlin, but also in surrounding communities. After the lease ended, the municipality of Berlin took over, and the business became part of the municipal forest service, due to the location in the Grunewald. In the same year, 1924, the tents were replaced by thatched pavillons, and the sanitary facilities, lacking up until then, were improved. The

By the early 1800s, a new, non-wooden bridge was needed to accommodate the massive increase in traffic on the chaussee between the Prussian capital Berlin and the Hohenzollern residence in Potsdam.
