Station 1931 The station was built in 1874 on the Berlin-Potsdam Railway for the development of the residential area of Neubabelsberg; hence its original name, Neubabelsberg. It opened on June 1 of the same year. The first station building was a reconstructed wooden pavilion by Kyllmann & Heyden, which had been erected the previous year as the German House at the Vienna World Exhibition. The station building, which still stands today, was designed by Günter Lüttich in 1931. On April 1, 1938, the station was renamed Babelsberg-Ufastadt due to its proximity to the ever-expanding Ufa film complex.[1] At the end of World War II, the Teltow Canal Bridge near Kohlhasenbrück was blown up, resulting in the suspension of S-Bahn service between Zehlendorf and Babelsberg-Ufastadt from April 1945 to June 15, 1948.[2]

In the years that followed, the building, now located on Karl-Marx-Straße, served as a SED party school, a polytechnic high school (1961–1974) and as a furniture warehouse. After being on the real estate market for years, the villa was bought by the FDP-affiliated Friedrich Naumann Foundation in 1998 and renovated from 1999 to 2001. Before construction work began, a fire caused by arson caused severe damage, particularly to the valuable interior furnishings.[3] The old villa was supplemented in 2000 by a modern office building designed by the architect Diethelm Hoffmann. The foundation has had its headquarters here since April 2001.

From the Truman Mansion, President Truman issued the order for the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Shortly before the Wehrmacht's unconditional surrender on May 8, 1945, the "Erlenkamp House", which was located on what was then the SA street from 1933 to 1945, was confiscated by the Soviet accommodation administration, with the residents having two hours to leave the building . In the run-up to the Potsdam Conference, the house was prepared for its accommodation purpose and then used as living quarters until the Commander-in-Chief of the Soviet occupation troops in Germany, Marshal Georgi Zhukov, was recalled in the spring of 1946.[2] Although Zhukov was also head of the Soviet Military Administration in Germany (SMAD), which was based in Karlshorst, he preferred to be close to the military.

The "Haus Erlenkamp" in what was then Kaiserstraße 2 in Neubabelsberg was planned by the architects Karl von Großheim and Heinrich Joseph Kayser and built between 1891 and 1892. The builder was Carl Müller-Grote (1833–1904), owner of the G.Grote publishing house and publisher of the works of Theodor Fontane.[1] The villa served as his summer residence and was an early meeting place for important personalities. A regular guest was Edwin Redslob, the Reich Art Commissioner of the Weimar Republic, who co-founded the Tagesspiegel in 1945. The house was named "Truman Villa" because the President of the United States Harry S. Truman lived here during the Potsdam Conference; for this reason and because of its white paintwork, the villa was also nicknamed "Little White House". From July 15, 1945, Truman lived in the villa for 17 days together with US Secretary of State James F. Byrnes and Defense Advisor William D. Leahy.

Border station The station was renamed Griebnitzsee in 1949. From 1952, Griebnitzsee served as a control station. From 1961 to 1989, the station was closed to local traffic, and until 1990 it served as a border station and border crossing point (GÜSt, passenger traffic) of the GDR. Boarding and disembarking at Griebnitzsee station was prohibited for transit traffic through the GDR to and from West Berlin. Interzonal traffic between West and East Germany was carried out via the Berlin Stadtbahn. Later, interzonal trains were routed via the Berlin Outer Ring (including the Aachen–Potsdam–Görlitz and Munich–Leipzig–Potsdam–Rostock train pairs), thus serving exclusively for transit traffic between West Berlin (Berlin-Wannsee, Zoologischer Garten, Friedrichstraße) and West Germany from/to Schwanheide/Büchen (Hamburg, Northern Germany) until 1976 Marienborn/Helmstedt (Hanover, West Germany) Gerstungen/Bebra (Hesse, Frankfurt am Main, Saarbrücken) Probstzella/Ludwigsstadt (Southern Germany)
