history

Rendsburg station was the junction of the Neumünster – Flensburg , Rendsburg – Kiel and Husum – Rendsburg routes via Erfde . In addition, north of the Kiel Canal, opened in 1895, there was the Rendsburg-Glacis-Rendsburg-Obereider freight train line (km 1.5), as well as a standard-gauge connecting line to the narrow-gauge Rendsburg circular railway , and south of the canal the Osterrönfeld-Rader Insel railroad, which was also only used for freight traffic .

The opening date of the depot is not known. However, from the opening of the Neumünster - Osterrönfeld - Rendsburg line on September 18, 1845, the Rendsburg-Neumünster Railway had to handle locomotives at the terminus.

The depot belonged to the machine office in Flensburg and with 60 employees was the smallest of the four offices of the machine office. The depot only served the use and repair of locomotives.

Technical Equipment

A 17-meter turntable was installed in front of the six-sided locomotive shed . There was also a coal bansen, an overnight building and a slag pit. There was also a tank system.
