Neubrandenburg depot
The Bahnbetriebswerk Neubrandenburg (short Bw Neubrandenburg ), since 1994 called depot Neubrandenburg (short Bh Neubrandenburg ), was opened in 1864 and served the maintenance, repair and provision of steam and later diesel locomotives that were based in Neubrandenburg or provided train services there. In 1945 the depot, which had previously been under the Reich Railway Directorate Schwerin, was assigned to the Reich Railway Directorate Greifswald .
With the electrification of the railway line between Stralsund and Neustrelitz at the beginning of the 1990s, the Bw's raison d'être was finally lost. In order to save costs, the Deutsche Bahn AG gradually dissolved the Bw between 1994 and 1997. After many years of decline, the city bought the area in 2014 in order to set up a sports and health park there with the help of an investor. After the investor has jumped, the city will continue to use the area again and plan to build a swimming pool there.
The parts of the former depot that have been preserved are entered in the official list of monuments.
history
In the course of the opening of the Güstrow – Teterow – Malchin – Neubrandenburg railway in 1864, a repair and maintenance workshop was opened by the Mecklenburg Friedrich-Franz Railway in the provisional terminus in Neubrandenburg . In 1873 the depot got a seven-track roundhouse with a 16-meter turntable and associated treatment systems. After the opening of the northern line in 1877 and the commissioning of the branch lines to Waren (Müritz) and Friedland at the end of the 19th century, the roundhouse was expanded to a total of 12 stalls.
By 1914, a second roundhouse with 6 stalls, a 20-meter turntable and an administration and social building had been built. In 1923 the new roundhouse received 6 more stands and in 1935 a standard turntable with a diameter of 23 meters replaced the 20-meter turntable that had existed until then.
The loss of importance of the Bw, which had already started in the early 1990s, continued with the electrification of the railway line between Stralsund and Neustrelitz in 1993/1994. On January 1, 1994, Deutsche Bahn took over the Neubrandenburg depot and converted it into a depot. On May 29, 1994, the Deutsche Bahn AG then dissolved the vehicle fleet and on July 1, 1994 placed the former depot at the Neustrelitz depot as an operational site. On October 1, 1997, the company was downgraded to a personnel deployment position, which in 1999 was again allocated to DB Regio AG and then closed.
Locomotive inventory
In 1932 a total of 23 steam locomotives were stationed at the Neubrandenburg depot. By 1936 the number increased to a total of 29 locomotives. The following list shows the number of locomotives from 1932 (1936 as brackets).
- Series 03 : 0 pieces (2 pieces)
- Series 17 10–12 : 4 pieces (4 pieces)
- Series 38 10–40 : 8 pieces (10 pieces)
- Series 55 25–56 : 4 pieces (5 pieces)
- Series 55 16–22 : 2 pieces (4 pieces)
- Series 91 19 : 5 pieces (4 pieces)
After the Second World War, new locomotives also came to Neubrandenburg. At the same time, old locomotives were decommissioned. In the 1950s and 1960s, the series 23 10 , 38 10–40 , 41 , 52 and 56 2–8 in particular were represented in Neubrandenburg. The introduction of the V 60 12 in 1968 heralded the change in traction in Neubrandenburg. At the same time, the series 91 0–1 , 93 0–4 and 74 4–13 were retired . In 1972 locomotives of the 110 series were housed in the Bw and in 1978 the 118 series locomotives finally replaced the last remaining steam locomotives. This made the Neubrandenburg depot, after the Neustrelitz depot, the second depot of the Reichsbahndirektion Greifswald that was steam-free.
Between 1983 and 1994, several class 132 locomotives were also based in Neubrandenburg.
Job sites
Between 1945 and 1991 the deployment sites Demmin, Friedland, Jamen Nord, Loitz and Malchin were assigned to the Neubrandenburg depot. Malchin belonged to the Neubrandenburg depot for only a few weeks and came to the Waren / Müritz depot at the end of 1945 . The Jamen Nord site, which had existed since 1950, went out of operation in 1958. Demmin and Loitz followed in 1965 and 1968. In 1991 the Friedland deployment site (since 1951 at the Neubrandenburg depot) was closed for the last time.
