[edit] History
Since the suburban move of Berlin which ended in the late nineteenth century, allowed by the development of the train, was Hohen Neuendorf a little town with few residents. The creation of a train station in Hohen Neuendorf on the North Train from Berlin in the last quarter of the 1800s, thanks to the larger, richer nearby village of Stolpe, led to a speedy development of Hohen Neuendorf paralleled to that occurring in Berlin. With the rising role of Hohen Neuendorf as a commuter village across from Stolpe (which stayed largely agricultural in nature), it was finally with the (mis)placement of the train stop that emphasis on the settlement of Hohen Neuendorf ensued. The new station today is frequented by the users of Berlin's "S-Bahn" ("Schnell-Bahn", lit. fast train), while the old station's building has now been made into a hotel.
