Rangsdorf station is a station in the locality of Rangsdorf in the district of Teltow-Fläming in the German state of Brandenburg. It is located at kilometre 24.3 of Berlin–Dresden railway. Until 1919, the western part of the station was served by the Royal Prussian Military Railway.
The station is located in Fontaneplatz to the west of the centre of the village of Rangsdorf. It is at ground level and consists of three platforms for passenger traffic. The entrance building of the former Military Railway is located to the west of the tracks and is now used as a residential building. The entrance building of the former Berlin-Dresden railway is located on the eastern side. A third entrance was built at the southern end during the development of the former Military Railway platform for suburban traffic in 1940. A footbridge connects the platforms and both sides of the station.
The military station, which was later developed as a suburban station is listed as part of the Military Railway in the heritage list of Brandenburg.
The station, along with the Berlin-Dresden line of the Berlin-Dresden Railway Company (Berlin-Dresdener Eisenbahn-Gesellschaft) was opened on 17 June 1875. Four months later, the Royal Prussian Military Railway (Königlich Preußische Militär-Eisenbahn), which was built parallel with the Dresden Railway, was opened to Zossen. The military station was available for passenger traffic from 1890 and a separate entrance building was opened for the military station on the western side of the railway tracks ten years later.
Under the terms of the Treaty of Versailles, Germany was forbidden after the end of the First World War from continuing to operate the Military Railway. The approximately 30 kilometre-long track between Berlin and Zossen was dismantled in consequence and passenger trains then ran on the Dresden Railway. The entrance building of the Military Railway continued to be used as a residential building.
Deutsche Reichsbahn planned the electrification of the Dresden Railway between Berlin Priesterweg and Wünsdorf by 1 October 1940. In fact, electrication was completed only as far as Rangsdorf and this was opened to traffic on 6 October 1940. A second edge was added on the west side of the platform of the military station for the electric services, while steam-powered trains running to Wünsdorf stopped on the east side of the platform. At the same time the pedestrian bridge was built between the two sides. The main platform on the Dresden railway was subsequently closed. The war prevented any further electrification. The S-Bahn services operated every 20 minutes and connected with the suburban services to Wünsdorf.
