The elevated railway line through the centre of Berlin was (and is)
called "Stadtbahn". It provides four tracks, two of which have been
(since it opened in the 1890s) used for a rapid-transit type service.
Electrification, 3rd rail 750V


I'm not nitpicking, just trying to clear up a nagging doubt: I thought
that the S-Bahn in Berlin was electrified at at least 800V.


The railway stock list on mercurio seems to agree with you.

Klaus: thanks for the explanation! :-)
