Named after Buckower Chaussee, the old road to the neighbouring village of Buckow.
This ‘Chaussee’ (high road) is the historic route from Marienfelde to Buckow. Buckow’s name probably comes from a Slavic field name, buk (red beech), taken over by German settlers; the village was first recorded in 1373. The station opened on 15 May 1946 as a makeshift stop when suburban trains returned to the line after the war.
