The Wusterwitz railway station is a station of the Deutsche Bahn in the town Wusterwitz in the west of the country Brandenburg . It is a through station on the Berlin – Magdeburg railway line . For several decades, the Wusterwitz station was a connecting station to the Wusterwitz – Görzke railway line , which was closed in the 1970s . The main railway station building and some auxiliary buildings are listed as historical monuments .
history
By 1846 the railway line from Berlin via Potsdam and Brandenburg an der Havel to Magdeburg was extended. The then Großwusterwitz received a connection to the German rail network and a train station.
In 1901 a private small railway branching off the main line, the railway line from Großwusterwitz via the town of Ziesar to Görzke , was opened. The small train began south of the main line and received its own station building and freight shed. In 1914 there were four daily trains running in both directions on the route from Wusterwitz to Görzke. In 1939 there were four daily trains in each direction on the route between Wusterwitz and Ziesar and one train from Wusterwitz to Karow and back. The rail connection between Wusterwitz and Ziesar via Rogäsen and Warchau existed in passenger traffic until 1971 and in freight traffic until 1974. Then the Deutsche Reichsbahn stopped traffic on this route and had the tracks dismantled. Remnants of the track are still present in various places.
The railway line from Berlin to Magdeburg was renovated and electrified in the 1990s as a German unity transport project after the political change . From December 1995, for example, ICE trains (without stopping) ran through Wusterwitz. Since then, Wusterwitz has been a stop on Regional Express Line 1 . This has been going from Magdeburg via Brandenburg, Potsdam and Berlin to Frankfurt (Oder) since 1998 . In the course of the modernization of the station, the historic station building with the ticket office was closed, platforms were relocated and only shelters were set up for travelers.
2015 Wusterwitz is in daily traffic on the clock at least once traveled the hour in each direction. A few additional trains run to Berlin in the early morning hours, while the timetable is thinned out at night. Wusterwitz is the last train station in the state of Brandenburg in the direction of Magdeburg on the western border of the Berlin-Brandenburg transport association .
Historic station building
Building on the Berlin – Magdeburg railway line
The former two-storey station building of the railway line from Berlin to Magdeburg in the historicism style stands north of the track system. It is a red, unplastered brick building . The station building has eight window axes . The fourth window axis on the street side from the west is located in a central projection , in which the main entrance to the building is located. There is a similarly designed risalit on the track side. The windows in the basement and the portal are arched segments. Arched windows were installed on the upper floor . Decorative elements are pilaster strips that line the window axes and cornices that separate the floors. Furthermore, the windows are each simply stepped. There are several panels and a slightly profiled frieze on the upper floor under the eaves . The gables of the risalits are designed differently. The risalit on the street side has gable ears and initially tapers upwards and ends bluntly. The track side risalit is designed with a stepped gable . The roof is covered with copper slate.
To the east and west, further, one-story station buildings, like goods sheds, adjoin the station building. These are also made of red clinker bricks. The old station buildings have been closed since the new railway line was built in the 1990s. Since then, they have had no access to platforms. These were either relocated further west (northern platform, which was previously directly at the station building) or the pedestrian crossing was dismantled (southern platform). The old buildings are separated from the tracks and the railway line by a fence .
Building on the Wusterwitz – Görzke railway line
The former station building of the small railway from Wusterwitz to Görzke is located south of the existing railway line . It is also a two-story building. This is plastered and has a yellowish, green paint. The windows are unadorned rectangular windows with wooden shutters . A hipped roof is covered with red beaver tails . In the roof there is a bat dormer as a clear opening. A one-storey former shed is attached to the reception building. The track system of the small railway is partially dismantled, partially, if it still exists, overgrown by wild growth. There is no longer a connection to the railway network for existing track systems. The old platform is still there under vegetation. The Kleinbahn buildings have also been separated from the station by fences since the 1990s.
Existing infrastructure
Since its modernization, Wusterwitz station has had four tracks: two continuous main tracks and two external overtaking tracks west of the old reception building. The platform in the direction of Magdeburg is on the northern overhaul track, well away from the former station building, the platform for trains in the direction of Brandenburg an der Havel, Potsdam and Berlin is on the southern main track opposite the station building. The platforms have been raised for barrier-free entry and exit on and off the trains. There are small shelters in glass and steel construction for travelers. There are also other steel seats in the open air. There is no direct transition between the platforms. The only way between the platforms runs outside the station area via the footpath on Ernst-Thälmann-Strasse or Walther-Rathenau-Strasse, the former state road 96. This crosses the tracks east of the station building. On the other side of Ernst-Thälmann-Straße there is storage space for bicycles , and parking spaces for cars have been created on the north side of the station. There is also a bus stop on the north side in front of the former reception building, where regional buses stop as feeders.
