At both ends of the station there are crossovers between the lines. A pedestrian tunnel connects the station building with the platforms and continues to Bahnhofstrasse to the east of the tracks. The station forecourt of the entrance building is on the side street of Straße Bahnhofsberg, which is connected to the bridge carrying Cottbuser Straße over the railway tracks to the south of the station.The station has four platform tracks. Tracks 2 and 8 are located to the west or east of the main platforms; tracks 1 and 3 lie on a common island platform on the west side. Tracks 1 and 2 are, however, normally the only platforms served by passenger trains.
