English guided tour in our Historic S-Bahn from 1928 - the 1st ever!
Details
On Saturday 20th June 2026 for the first time ever we offer rides with an “English carriage” in our historic train from 1928, where a guide will address you in English, as we noticed an increasing number of international guests over the past year – see the link https://hisb.de/veranstaltungen/aktuelles/463-stadtrundfahrten-im-juni.html.
Tours 1 starts 10.55 at Ostbahnhof, and will have the English guide in coach 3, so English visitors are asked to select “Wagen 3” in Fahrt 1 via Reservix - https://ticketshop-historische-s-bahn-ev.reservix.de/p/reservix/group/540123 - The ride on the historic S-Bahn train begins at Ostbahnhof on Track 10, from where we first head via the Stadtbahn, Charlottenburg and Grunewald to Wannsee. There, we change direction and return via the Wannseebahn and the North-South S-Bahn Tunnel (the route of S1) to Nordbahnhof, where our journey ends at 12.30. Tickets cost 20€ adults, 9€ kids under 14.
## About us
We are Historische S-Bahn Berlin e.V., a voluntary association of more than 300 inscribed members who takes care of a collection of historic S-Bahn trains from S-Bahn Berlin - see our website www.hisb.de. Our voluntary team of around 50 hyperactive train-maniacs has worked hard not only to preserve the trains, but to make sure that we are now able, since 2023, to run again regular rides through Berlin with carriages from 1928 and 1938. Since then we have revived the popular annual Christmas- and Easter-trains, and introduced a “Halloween-train” in 2025, plus offering regular historical tours. We also have a collection of around 30 historic coaches, which are stored in the S-Bahn depot at Erkner where we offer regular open days. We are an entirely voluntary charity (gemeinnütziger Verein) who do not receive subsidy or other subventions to maintain, rebuild and get on track again the historic S-Bahn coaches and to maintain this iconic Berlin heritage accessible for the future - so join us and support us!
