Brandenburg Hauptbahnhof ( Brandenburg Hbf ) is the most important train station in the city of Brandenburg an der Havel . It is located on the Berlin – Magdeburg railway line , which is connected there with the Brandenburg city railway. It has largely lost its previous important role in long-distance and freight transport, but the tasks in regional transport have remained. A water tower on the site of the former freight yard and a memorial plaque for French slave laborers on the station building are listed as historical monuments. The station only got the name addition Hauptbahnhof after the end of the Second World War, before that it was called Brandenburg Rb (Rb stands for Reichsbahn).
location
The station is located on the route kilometer 61.3 of the Berlin – Magdeburg line (counted from the former Potsdamer Bahnhof in Berlin), which runs roughly in an east-west direction. To the west of the station, the Brandenburg Urban Railway crosses the main line and leads to the main station via connecting arches. The train station is south of downtown Brandenburg.
history
General
Brandenburg was first connected to the railway network in 1846 with the opening of the Berlin-Potsdam-Magdeburg Railway on August 7, 1846. In 1904 the Brandenburg city railway went into operation from Treuenbrietzen via Brandenburg to Neustadt (Dosse). Today only the section between Brandenburg and Rathenow is still used. The urban railway had its own Brandenburg Neustadt station , which was located next to the main station and later became part of the main station. The route of the Westhavelländische Kreisbahnen Röthehof – Roskow – Brandenburg, which opened in 1901 and closed in the 1960s, did not touch the Brandenburg Central Station. The terminus of the line in the city of Brandenburg was the Krakauer Tor station in the northeast of the city, a branch line led to the Brandenburg-Altstadt station on the urban railway.
In 1995 the line from Berlin to Magdeburg and thus also the Brandenburg main station was electrified.
passenger traffic

For a long time, Brandenburg was the stop for many long-distance trains from Berlin via Magdeburg and on to West and South Germany. With the division of Germany after 1945 and the construction of the Berlin Wall, the traffic flows changed. In long-distance traffic, the station was served by the trains between Berlin and Magdeburg, in some cases further to Halberstadt , and an interzonal train from Görlitz via Brandenburg to Cologne . In local traffic there were a number of trains from Brandenburg in the direction of Potsdam, some trains popularly known as "Sputnik" from Berlin via the Berlin outer ring to Potsdam continued to Brandenburg. The transit trains from the western part of Berlin to the Federal Republic also drove via Brandenburg, but did not stop there.
After the fall of the Berlin Wall, trains to West and South Germany stopped again in Brandenburg. International trains, including night trains to Paris and Amsterdam , also served the station. After electrification in 1995, some ICE trains also ran to the station. With the commissioning of the high-speed route Hanover – Berlin , long-distance traffic shifted mainly to this route and no longer drove via Brandenburg. In the first few years there were still a few ICE trains via Brandenburg and Magdeburg, but they were soon discontinued.
Regional traffic was gradually synchronized in the mid-1990s and subsequently increased to an hourly rate on the main line and in the direction of Rathenow, with two trains per hour in the direction of Berlin.
In the 2016 timetable , the following lines stop in Brandenburg, which is in the area of the Verkehrsverbund Berlin-Brandenburg , in addition to two pairs of long-distance trains:
The ICE train has stopped in Brandenburg since the 2015/16 timetable change. It only drives on the night from Sunday to Monday.

Investments
The station has a house platform and previously two island platforms on the through tracks of the main line. The outermost track as well as the adjoining side tracks were dismantled so that the southern of the two island platforms became an outside platform. The platforms are connected to each other and to the station forecourt on the north side of the track system via a tunnel; there is no direct access from the south.
The station building is north of the tracks. To the west of it there are two platforms with head tracks for the trains to the urban railway.
In the western part of the station are the transfer tracks for traffic to the urban railway, in the eastern part of the station the facilities of the freight station, which is no longer used today. A large part of the city's freight volume was and is handled in the Brandenburg Altstadt station on the urban railway.
