The Putbus station is a railway junction local importance in the town of Putbus on the island of Rügen in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern . This is where the Bergen auf Rügen – Lauterbach Mole railway crossed and the Altefähr – Göhren narrow-gauge railway with a gauge of 750 mm, from which only the Putbus – Göhren section is still operated. In 1998/99 a three-rail track was built so that both standard-gauge and narrow-gauge trains can run between Putbus and Lauterbach Mole. After the closure of the Putbus depotand the general decline in traffic, the station has lost much of its former importance as a rail hub. The station is also no longer used by express trains. An exhibition on the narrow-gauge area recalls the history of the Rügen small railways .
The reception building of the standard gauge line and the small train station with the terminal building, old service building, locomotive shed and railcar shed are under monument protection.
history
Putbus station was opened together with the Bergen – Putbus railway on August 15, 1889, which was extended to Lauterbach on May 15, 1890. The station building with the attached goods shed for the standard-gauge railway is located west of the tracks at the northern head of the station.
On July 21, 1895, the Putbus – Binz section was the first section of the Rügen small railways. Putbus was the operational center of the narrow-gauge railway from the start, but the layouts were kept extremely spartan if they were already built. There was no separate entrance building for the narrow-gauge railway, only a wooden waiting hall was built, to which a one-story service building was later added. The transshipment track was only completed in October 1895.
The Altefähr – Putbus section was opened on July 4, 1896, the line crossed the standard-gauge railway at the same level in the station area. The section was also integrated in the northern head of the station, so that a terminal station was created for the narrow-gauge railway.
In the 1900s and 1910s, the station was expanded, but all planned changes, such as an intermediate platform for normal and narrow gauge and a new locomotive shed for the narrow gauge railway, were not implemented. The level crossing in the station area was replaced in the summer of 1916 by a reinforced concrete bridge over the standard gauge railway. This bridge is still there today.
Even before the First World War, the pool traffic on the stretch to Göhren in the summer months increased the passenger traffic enormously. On the remainder of the narrow-gauge railway, goods traffic dominated, and agricultural products were the main ones. In the autumn of 1967, passenger traffic in the direction of Altefähr was discontinued, all freight traffic ended in December 1967, but Putbus retained its importance as a transfer station in bathing traffic.
Several vehicles have been on display in the station since 1995, including 99 4652 from 1995 to 2011 , and several vehicles from the early days are still there today.
For the three-rail expansion of the line to Lauterbach Mole, the station was significantly redesigned at the end of the 1990s; in addition to a new central platform for narrow and standard gauge, the two narrow-gauge platforms were also modernized. The previous exhibition area was built over, a new exhibition area is located north of the train station on the site of the former reloading facilities. Through trains to Lauterbach Mole no longer use the old narrow-gauge section. In 1999 the three-rail track was put into operation. The narrow gauge in the south head of the station threads into the standard gauge track without a tongue.
In the standard gauge section, apart from the continuous track between the main platform and the central platform, there is only one track to the locomotive shed in the south and one track to the loading ramp for narrow-gauge vehicles in the north of the station. A bypass track is no longer available, as the regular operation takes place with railcars.
Putbus depot
Right from the start, there was a double-track locomotive shed with six stalls. In the half-timbered building, the infills were lined with bricks, the shed was covered with a simple cardboard roof. A workshop and various warehouses were later added to the building. Over time, a separate workshop was built, which was designed like the engine shed.
After the takeover of the narrow-gauge railway by the Deutsche Reichsbahn , the Putbus depot was founded in Putbus on January 1, 1950 , to which the Altefähr, Altenkirchen, Bergen (Rügen) Ost and Göhren locomotive depots were subordinate. On December 31, 1966, the depot was dissolved as an independent department and incorporated into the Stralsund depot .
The standard gauge locomotive shed functioned as the Putbus deployment site for the Sassnitz depot (until 1967) and the Stralsund depot until the deployment site was closed in 1993.
The engine shed was demolished in 1985 and replaced by a new building. The systems are still used today by the PRESS .
In August 2018, the Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania transport company announced the award of an order for the construction of a new workshop for the narrow-gauge railway, the procurement value is 14 million euros. Originally, PRESS - as the leaseholder of the infrastructure - was supposed to renovate the old and partly listed workshop facilities, instead it is now building a new building north of the existing workshop. In addition, a museum area will be set up to present the historic vehicles. The project is partly funded by the European Regional Development Fund. The workshop is owned by the district of Vorpommern-Rügen.
traffic
Long-distance transport has not existed since 1990. Since the timetable change on December 13, 2009, the standard gauge line has been operated as the RB 26 every two hours (from May to August every hour) by the Eisenbahn-Bau- und Betriebsgesellschaft Pressnitztalbahn mbH (PRESS) with a Regio-Shuttle railcar from Stadler .
The Rügen Bäderbahn to Göhren runs every two hours.
Except for coal deliveries, there is no freight transport.
