The best city hikes and walks around Motzener Lake

Various renovations are planned around the Königs Wusterhausen train station. These are intended to make the station more efficient and fit for the future. As commuter numbers increase, so does the need for capacity in local rail passenger transport (SPNV). With only one continuous main track for regional services, Königs Wusterhausen station is a proven bottleneck. The track layouts hinder smooth operations between regional services and the S-Bahn (commuter rail) network. Therefore, a gradual expansion of the infrastructure is being planned as part of the i2030 infrastructure expansion program (https://www.i2030.de/), and some of it is already under construction. As a first step toward a more efficient infrastructure, a new reversing track (https://www.i2030.de/start-fuer-den-umbau-der-noerdlichen-einfahrt-zum-bahnhof-koenigs-wusterhausen/) was put into operation in 2023 in the south of the station. An additional track will be laid to the north of the station. This will allow trains from Berlin to enter track 1 simultaneously and trains heading towards Berlin to exit track 3. Construction of this subproject (https://www.i2030.de/start-fuer-den-umbau-der-noerdlichen-einfahrt-zum-bahnhof-koenigs-wusterhausen/) began in June 2025. In addition, three additional switches will be installed at the southern entrance to the station, and a freight train track will be extended to 740 meters. This will increase operational flexibility and stability while simultaneously improving the connection of the Königs Wusterhausen port to the rail network. The complete reconstruction of Königs Wusterhausen station is also planned for a later phase. The S-Bahn and long-distance train tracks will be separated. The current crossing of S-Bahn and regional trains leads to significant timetable restrictions in both systems and is therefore to be eliminated. This is also one of the necessary prerequisites for extending the 10-minute S-Bahn service to Königs Wusterhausen. Deutsche Bahn is again expanding the Storkower Straße railway overpass as a standalone project outside of i2030. More information on the planned expansion measures can be found at: https://www.i2030.de/suedost/.

The Wildau University of Applied Sciences (TH Wildau for short) was founded on October 22, 1991, following the legacy of the Wildau Engineering School, founded in 1949 and originally educating mechanical engineering students. In addition to engineering programs, the Wildau University of Applied Sciences also offers degree programs in business administration and public administration, with a total of 23 bachelor's and 15 master's programs in various disciplines. The practical relevance of the program remains a key hallmark of the university today.

Freight locomotive 52 8135 (factory no. 15571) was built in 1943 at the Borsig locomotive factory in Berlin. In 1965, it was converted from locomotive 52 474 at the Stendal locomotive works. It was used primarily as a freight locomotive until 1989. The locomotive stood as a memorial locomotive in the Aeropark in Diepensee from 1991 to 1998. After the park went bankrupt, the locomotive was acquired by the Technical University of Applied Sciences in Wildau in 1998 and placed on a turntable in front of the Technical University on June 9, 1998. At the beginning of the 2020s, the locomotive received a new paint job, with the locomotive superstructure and chassis being painted black.
