The Schwerin – Parchim railway is a non-electrified, single-track branch line in western Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania . It connects the cities of Parchim and Crivitz with the state capital Schwerin .

Route

Plate train station

Schwerin center

The line branches off about four kilometers south of Schwerin Central Station from the railway line to Ludwigslust to the southeast. After two kilometers, the Wüstmark stop is reached, where there is a transition to the tram . About three kilometers further, before the level crossing at Landesstraße 72, where the Stern (Buchholz) station used to be, the siding to the Haselholz depot and shortly afterwards a track to the former barracks branches off. In a largely straight route, the federal motorway 14 and the Stör shortly before the Plate train station are crossed. Shortly after the train station, the line turns east and after three kilometers reaches the Sukow stop . Further in a north-easterly direction, the eastern edge of the flat Lewitz lowland is reached and the center of the route Crivitz is reached in an incline with a cut .

Shortly after the station, after a bridge, the route turns to the southeast. A sparsely populated and slightly hilly moraine landscape is reached in an ascent (a total of around 20 meters in altitude) , which extends to Parchim. The route runs largely parallel to federal highway 321 with stops in the villages of Ruthenbeck, Friedrichsruhe and Domsühl . The last two kilometers to Parchim are accompanied by the Müritz-Elde waterway on the southwest side . In front of the Parchim train station, a curve to the southwest leads to the Karow railway line . Both routes cross the Elde in parallel before they merge. Originally, both routes led separately to Parchim station .

history

The first five kilometers from Schwerin main station to the district of Krebsförden were opened on May 1, 1847 along the line to Hagenow . The 19.1-kilometer section to Crivitz that branches off there was opened on September 2, 1888 and the 21.3-kilometer section to Parchim on August 1, 1899.

Before the Second World War, the train service was very sparse with three to four journeys in each direction. The offer was also similar in the days of the Deutsche Reichsbahn .

In 1993 the Stern (Buchholz) station and three years later the Zieslübbe stop were closed. The offer was reduced to an approximate two-hour cycle in 1993 and to one hour cycle in 1996.

After the Schwerin public utility received a tender from Verkehrsgesellschaft Mecklenburg-Vorpommern (VMV) in May 1999 to operate passenger transport on the Rehna – Schwerin – Parchim route, they founded the MecklenburgBahn GmbH (MEBA) subsidiary in 2000 and built on vehicle maintenance and -abstellung a two-kilometer-long railway siding for tram depot Schwerin-hazel, which has been extended to it. On 10 June 2001 the MEBA took the traffic on the outbound of Schwerin routes to Parchim and Rehna six LINT 41 - railcars every hour on (weekends sometimes every two hours), the trains of Parchim after Rehna are carried bound. At the beginning of 2005, MEBA merged with the Veolia subsidiary Ostmecklenburgischen Eisenbahn GmbH (OME) to form Ostseeland Verkehr GmbH (OLA). After the transport contract for the Rehna – Schwerin – Parchim line was initially extended by one year to December 2009, the OLA was awarded the contract for a further three years until the end of 2012 in March 2009. An additional school train from Monday to Friday mornings Crivitz ordered to Schwerin. This also takes into account the 16 percent increase in passengers between 2002 and 2008 to 464,000 passengers per year.

The 20-meter-long Stör Bridge in Plate, which was built during the First World War and was ultimately only passable at 10 km / h, was replaced at the end of 2006 by a new steel superstructure that can be driven at 80 km / h. In April 2011, a new steel trough bridge was also installed over a local road in Crivitz, which made it possible to remove a speed limit stop. After expansion measures, the maximum speed between Schwerin-Görries and Crivitz could be increased to 80 km / h.

After the contract with the OLA expired in December 2013, the state of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, as the authority responsible for local rail passenger transport, awarded the follow-up contract to the East German Railway (ODEG).

business

The freight to the connection points in Wüstmark and Stern (Buchholz) is on three days a week from an in Bad Kleinen stationed V 60 the railway company Potsdam performed mbH (EGP) that the single wagonload traffic in space Schwerin on behalf of DB Cargo took over. In addition, block trains with bulk goods, which are hauled by non-federal railways , occasionally run to the Stern (Buchholz) junction and, since mid-2012, to the Consrade gravel works.

Planning and expansion

On the section from Crivitz to Parchim, the maximum speed was originally supposed to be increased from 60 to 120 km / h by 2007 according to the Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania regional public transport plan 2002-2007 . A new stop was planned in Schwerin-Krebsförden to connect the Sieben-Seen-Center, and an additional stop was also considered useful in Crivitz-Neustadt.

However, the expansion of the route was delayed. In July 2010, the Federal Railway Authority approved the expansion of the line to a speed of 100 km / h. This will reduce the travel time between Schwerin and Parchim by ten minutes to 50 minutes. Investments of 10 million euros are planned for the upgrading of the route, which will continue until 2014. The new bridge in Crivitz cost an additional 1.2 million euros. In August 2010, the expansion of the station in Plate began. This received a second platform. A central platform is planned for the Crivitz train station , and redesigns are planned for the stops in Sukow, Friedrichsruhe and Domsühl. All platforms will have a uniform height of 55 centimeters, lighting systems and a wayfinding system. The halt in Ruthenbeck is abandoned. Unbarred level crossings are partially provided with barriers, some crossings on dirt roads are closed. Existing barrier systems are to be modernized.
