Berlin Jungfernheide is a railway station located at Charlottenburg-Nord, in the Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf district of Berlin, served by the S-Bahn lines S41 and S42, the U-Bahn line U7 and Regional-Express trains of the Deutsche Bahn. Its name literally translates into "maiden's heathland"; it was named after what was once a large forest in the proximity of this station.
The U-Bahn station was opened on 1 October 1980 (designed by R.G.Rümmler) as the extension of the U7 from Richard-Wagner-Platz to Rohrdamm. It features two platforms, intended for an interchange toward the Berlin-Tegel Airport that has never been built. The next station is Mierendorffplatz.
The U-Bahn platforms for U5 is currently used for firefighting exercises, and will no longer be usable for any future line.
