At the turn of the 20th century, the railway network in Berlin increasingly developed into a bottleneck for the growing freight traffic. A bypass around the capital was considered for strategic military reasons. A line that had been opened from Jüterbog to
The extension from Nauen via Kremmen to Oranienburg (the Nauen–Oranienburg railway) was opened in 1915 during the First World War. In the course of the opening of the Seddin marshalling yard in the first half of the 1920s, connecting curves were built from it towards Ferch-Lienewitz and Beelitz Stadt. In the following years the network of the Berlin bypass railways were further developed with the construction of a connecting line from Seddin towards Großbeeren and the Outer Freight Ring (Güteraußenring).
Passenger services on the line mainly served local traffic.

Developments in recent years
On 30 April 1996, the Wustermark–Bredow–Nauen section was closed following the reopening of the direct Berlin–Hamburg line to Berlin.
The
In 1998, the bridge of the freight bypass over the Berlin–Blankenheim railway at Beelitz was closed. Instead of through trains from Potsdam to Jüterbog, trains subsequently ran between Potsdam and Ferch-Lienewitz and via Michendorf to Berlin-Schönefeld as the RB22 service.
Beelitz Stadt, Treuenbrietzen and Jüterbog have since been served by the RB33 service from Berlin-Wannsee via Michendorf. After 2000, there was an attempt to abandon passenger services on the section between Beelitz Stadt and Jüterbog, which has relatively weak demand, but instead this line was upgraded for 100 km/h operations in 2006/07. The attractiveness of the service has increased due to the shorter travel time and better connections in Berlin-Wannsee and, since the end of 2007, in Jüterbog. The contract for the operation of the RB33 service was awarded to
With the timetable change in December 2011, Ostdeutsche Eisenbahn (ODEG) took over operation of the Berlin-Wannsee–Jüterbog route. Class 646 (Stadler GTW) articulated railcars are used on the service, which was designated as OE33. Trains run over the whole line at hourly intervals from Monday to Friday, crossing in Treuenbrietzen, and every two hours on weekends. Also since December 2011, the RB 22 service has operated directly over the Berlin outer ring in preparation for the much-delayed opening of the Berlin Brandenburg Airport. The RB 23 (Potsdam Hauptbahnhof–Michendorf) service now runs on the Jüterbog–Nauen railway in the Caputh area.
At the timetable change on 9 December 2012, the line numbers were standardised, so that the designation of the OE33 service was changed to RB33.[3]
Various buildings standing next to line are heritage-listed: the stations buildings of Potsdam Sanssouci Park and Jüterbog, which were originally built for other lines, the station buildings in Tiefenbrunnen, Treuenbrietzen, Buchholz (Zauche) and Caputh-Geltow and a signalman's house in Priort.
