Munich-Berg am Laim station is a stop on the Munich S-Bahn in the district of Berg am Laim in the Bavarian state capital of Munich. The station is served daily from about 300 services of the Munich S-Bahn each day and is classified by Deutsche Bahn as a category 4 station.[1] It has two platforms tracks and lies on the Munich–Rosenheim railway and the Munich–Mühldorf railway.

History

No station was opened at Berg am Laim when the Munich–Rosenheim railway opened on 15 October 1871. Berg am Laim was only opened as a halt (German: Haltepunkt) on 1 in May 1897, but only on the line to Rosenheim, which then ran parallel but south of the line to Mühldorf at this point. The station was, however, closed on 1 May 1915 because the line to Rosenheim was moved to the north so that it was next to the line to Mühldorf, but no new station was opened. A year later, on 1 May 1916, another Berg am Laim halt opened, this time on both lines. On 1 October 1938, the station’s name was changed from Berg am Laim to München-Berg am Laim.[3] Until the introduction of the S-Bahn on Munich 28 May 1972, the station served two routes, but since the introduction of the S-Bahn it has only served the Mühldorf line. The platforms were made accessible for the disabled in 2008 with the provision of a separate underpass for the S-Bahn; previously travellers had to use the adjacent road tunnel to reach the platform.

Infrastructure

The station has two platform tracks on an island platform, which has been equipped for disabled people since 2008. The platform is accessible via a pedestrian underpass and it has a platform canopy and digital platform displays. Berg am Laimer Bahnhof bus stop is served by bus routes 146 and 185 of the Münchner Verkehrsgesellschaft (Munich Transport Company, MVG).[4] The station is located in the service area of the Münchner Verkehrs- und Tarifverbund (Munich Transport and Tariff Association, MVV).
