The Itzehoe depot (short form: Bw Itzehoe) was built around 1890 in the north of the new Itzehoe station , after Itzehoe could be reached by rail from Glückstadt from 1857 and the line had been extended to Heide until 1878 . In 1889 the branch line Itzehoe – Kellinghusen – Wrist was opened.
The facilities in the depot included a turntable , a roundhouse and a water tower . The locomotives provided services primarily on the Marschbahn and the branch lines to Wrist, Brunsbüttelkoog North and Brunsbüttelkoog South. Locomotives of the class 38 , class 55 , class 57 , class 74 and class 91 were available .
The number of the 38 series shrank during the Second World War . In return, the Itzehoe depot received class 50 locomotives , and the number of class 57 locomotives increased. The area of responsibility hardly changed. After the end of the war, the class 50 was withdrawn and replaced by class 56.2 locomotives . The 64 series also made a brief guest appearance here .
The Itzehoe depot was dissolved as an independent agency in October 1959. The locomotives and their services were transferred to the Husum and Neumünster depots . As a branch office for these depots, the systems remained in operation. These facilities were demolished in the late 1970s and early 1980s. A tank system for diesel traction vehicles and sidings were built where the depot was once located. In July 2017, the tank system was no longer available.
