Blankenfelde station is on the Berlin–Dresden railway in the locality of Blankenfelde in the municipality of Blankenfelde-Mahlow in the district of Teltow-Fläming in the German state of Brandenburg. The station consists of two sections that are structurally separate from each other. One section is located just south of the Karl-Marx-Straße level crossing and consists of an island platform for regional and long-distance services. The other section lies north of Karl-Marx-Straße and is the southern terminus of Berlin S-Bahn line S2. On the official S-Bahn maps its name is styled Blankenfelde (Kr. Teltow-Fläming) to avoid possible confusion with Blankenfelde locality in the Pankow district in northern Berlin.
The station is situated in the locality of Blankenfelde at kilometre 19.4 of the Berlin–Dresden railway. Curves connect the long-distance tracks to the northern branch of Glasower Damm Süd junction on the Berlin Outer Ring (Berliner Außenring, BAR). A long-distance track and the single track of the S-Bahn cross over the Outer Ring towards Berlin; both tracks merge before Mahlow station.
The long-distance platform is 229-meter long and 76 centimetres high and is covered for a length of about 30 metres. The S-Bahn platform is 180 metre long and 96 centimetres high and has one platform edge. The S-Bahn tracks are three metres above the level of the long-distance tracks. The long-distance platform has a pedestrian tunnel with exits on both sides of the tracks as well as a ground level access to the Karl-Marx-Straße level crossing. The S-Bahn platform can be accessed via stairs and a ramp.
The station was built as part of a Subbotnik by the people of Blankenfelder and was opened on 8 October 1950 with the name of Blankenfelde (Kr Teltow)—Kr standing for Kreis (district). This was in response to the imminent closure of the Anhalter Bahnhof in Berlin and the associated diversion of long-distance trains over the Berlin Outer Ring to East Berlin. Blankenfelde station was established as a transfer point to provide a connection between West Berlin and long-distance services on the railway to Dresden. Although the second track of the Dresden Railways had been removed for reparations to the Soviet Union, an island platform was built in preparation for the second track to be restored.
