Berlin Storkower Straße railway station

Berlin Storkower Straße railway station

Storkower Straße is a railway station in the Friedrichshain district of Berlin, close to the district's border with Lichtenberg. Located at the Ringbahn it is served by the S-Bahn lines rail text color|system=SBB|line=S41, rail text color|system=SBB|line=S42, rail text color|system=SBB|line=S8 and rail text color|system=SBB|line=S85.

The station was opened in 1881 under the name of "Central-Viehhof", as the vast area south of the station then was the site of Berlin's central slaughterhouse, that received animals by rail here. An over 400 m (1300 ft) long pedestrian bridge ("Langer Jammer") crossed the processing plant connecting the station with the Friedrichshain residential areas.

The station was renamed in the 1970s, while in 1991 the facility finally closed. The notorious bridge except for a few metres above the tracks was demolished in 2002.
