German: Berlin-Nikolassee station (German: Bahnhof Berlin-Nikolassee) is a railway station in the German: [[Nikolassee]] area of Berlin, Germany. It is served by trains of the German: [[Berlin S-Bahn]], and is notable for its prominent Neo-Gothic entrance building.

Overview

German: S-Bahn line S1 operates to and from central Berlin via the German: [[Berlin Nord-Süd Tunnel|Nord-Süd-Tunnel]] and terminates one station down the line at German: [[Berlin-Wannsee station|Wannsee]]. Line S7 operates to and from central Berlin via the German: [[Berlin Stadtbahn|Stadtbahn]], and passes through Wannsee on its route to German: [[Potsdam Hauptbahnhof|Potsdam Hbf]].

The two German: S-Bahn lines are served by separate island platforms on different alignments, with the S1 platform at a lower level than the S7 platform. A pair of main line tracks run parallel to the S7, but trains on these lines do not stop at German: Nikolassee, and no platforms are provided. The two platforms are linked to each other, and to the station building, by walkways.

A flying junction to the west of the station keeps the main line segregated from the German: S-Bahn lines. The same flying junction brings the two German: S-Bahn lines together, with the S1 lines between the S7 lines so as to allow cross-platform interchange at German: Wannsee.
