‘Dahlem-Dorf’ means ‘Dahlem village’.
The station lies opposite the Domäne Dahlem, the historic manor of the old village of Dahlem, first recorded in 1275 as Dalm; farming has gone on there for more than 800 years. At the wish of Kaiser Wilhelm II, the entrance building of 1913 was made to suit the rural setting: a thatched, half-timbered house in the style of a north German manor.
