S-Bahn to BER Airport disrupted until August 31
From August 18, part of the S-Bahn route connecting central Berlin to Berlin Brandenburg Airport (BER) will be closed. Here’s what passengers need to know:
On August 18, a portion of the S-Bahn route linking central Berlin to Berlin Brandenburg Airport (BER) will be shut down for track maintenance. This closure will impact passengers traveling between the city center and BER Airport via the S-Bahn, specifically between Treptower Park and Schöneweide stations.
Passengers utilizing the S85 or S9 routes will be required to transfer to a replacement bus service at Treptower Park, which will take them to Plänterwald and Baumschulenweg before continuing to Schöneweide. From Schöneweide, the S-Bahn service will resume its operation to BER Airport.
To avoid the inconvenience of the replacement bus service, travelers have several alternative options. The RB24 and RB32 trains, which stop at Ostkreuz, Schöneweide, and BER Airport, can be used as alternatives. Additionally, passengers can opt for the Flughafen Express (FEX) from major locations such as Berlin Hauptbahnhof, Potsdamer Platz, or Berlin Südkreuz. However, it is important to note that since December 2025, the FEX no longer connects Gesundbrunnen and Ostkreuz with BER Airport.
