history

On December 15, 1866, the section between Neustadt Eberswalde (today: Eberswalde Hbf) and Wriezen went into operation. The train station in Freienwalde initially has a waiting hall and the Ntm signal box at the level crossing. On New Year's Day 1877, the routes from Angermünde to Freienwalde and from Wriezen to Frankfurt (Oder) were opened to public transport. In 1887, the Szczecin Railway Operations Office checked whether an expansion or expansion of the facilities would be necessary due to higher passenger numbers. After the construction of a rail-free central platform was announced on February 5, 1888, construction began in the same year. The tunnel that connects the two platforms was not completed until six months later.

In 1888 the station had five tracks. There were also goods sheds, a ramp, scales, a station building and two officials' houses. The goods shed was built between 1889 and 1890. The cost of the tunnel and goods shed was 53,000 marks. In 1894 there were major expansions to the facilities, with overtaking and installation tracks being added. The steadily increasing number of travelers made it necessary to expand the reception building. It was inaugurated in 1900. The water tower was built four years later. In 1910/13 the Bad Freienwalder train station was expanded again. Work began in the autumn of 1910. The cost was estimated at 1.3 million marks. 1912 were instruction interlocking Fwf (later B2 ) and the guard interlocking FWT and Fst (later W1 or W3 ) completed, which replaced the previous interlocking Ntm. These were mechanical interlockings from Zimmermann & Buchloh . A year later, the roundhouse with overnight building and the turntable were put into operation. The Freienwalder Landgraben had to be relocated to a new bed, as space was required for the construction of the workshop and the maneuvering area with drainage mountain. With the change to the summer timetable in 1926, the name of the operating center was changed. Since then it has been called Bad Freienwalde (Oder) . This was preceded by the recognition of the city as a mud spa .

After some delays, the small railway line to Zehden went into operation on October 5, 1930 . The building of the small station was behind the signal box Fwt . For the final victory , armaments work began on the site of the small train station. After the Oder dam near Reitwein broke in March 1947, the rails and tunnels in Bad Freienwalde were under water. A station bridge completed in 1914 was set on fire around 1950 by flying sparks from a steam locomotive. Initially, only provisional repairs followed. In 1969 this was completely rebuilt.

On behalf of the Reichsbahnamt Eberswalde , an inventory of the systems was carried out in the station. The semicircular and three-track rectangular shed were no longer in operation at that time. Three of the former five water towers were out of order in 1948. They had a capacity between 45 and 50 cubic meters. The coaling system in the locomotive station was dismantled and probably transferred to a larger depot. The systems in the station that were still functional in 1948 included a purification system with a track length of 28 m, a rigid Vögele turntable with a diameter of 20 meters and a load-bearing capacity of 160 tons, and a de-icing system supplied by Lehmann in 1929. The hand-operated track scales with a lifting capacity of 42 tons, a bridge crane (lifting capacity 10 t) and a slewing crane (1 t).

On June 27, 1965, passenger traffic on the route to Zehden was stopped. Since the end of the war, the trains only went as far as Hohenwutzen . From then on, the task of the trains was taken over by buses. Freight traffic was not given up until May 22, 1966. In November 1973 the roof of the reception building and goods shed as well as the water tower were damaged. After the locomotive shed in Bad Freienwalde had been empty for a long time, the Eberswalde (Obw) superstructure opened a track construction machine station there on September 1, 1976, where other machines were serviced and repaired. From 1977 the track systems in the south-eastern part of the station were expanded considerably. In May 1978 the new tracks 2, 4, 14, 15 and 16 and the light signal bridge at the W3 signal box went into operation. At the same time, the platform block in Bad Freienwalde was finally abolished and tickets were only checked by train staff. In 1980, a diesel tank system with a capacity of 60 cubic meters was built, so the tank trips to Eberswalde could be omitted. In May 1982, the Prenzlau railroad service vehicle plant set up a wagon repair facility to repair damaged freight wagons. In 1993 the barrier post was closed. From now on, Stellwerk W1 took over this task. In 1984 pull-out tracks at the former small train station were renewed. Increased checks by wagon masters were necessary, as customers increasingly returned open freight cars with damaged car floors. In order to identify defects in the car at an early stage, some mirrors were attached to the drainage mountains.

In October 1989 the large water tank in the water tower was shut down and dismantled due to the poor condition. In 1990 the demolition of the water tower was planned. However, it was put on the list of monuments. The reconstruction work continued until May 1991.

On May 9, 1991, a station festival took place in Bad Freienwalde, organized by the Deutsche Reichsbahn and surrounding associations. Some vehicles were exhibited there and four special trains drove to the station. These were the steam locomotives 52 8006-0 from Eberswalde , 50 3527-4 from Waren (Müritz) , 52 8075-5 from Berlin and VT 137 from Stralsund . Another such festival took place on May 28, 1992 and was also very well received. The last major station festival in Bad Freienwalde took place on May 1st, 2001 with the participation of Deutsche Bahn AG . Due to the extensive dismantling in the years 2001 to 2003, the requirements for the locomotives were no longer met. Small festivals organized by the city continued to take place on the station forecourt until 2008.

Encounter between two ODEG railcars , 2009

On January 13, 1992, the wagon master's post was dissolved. The tank system for the shunting locomotive was shut down and dismantled in May 1993. On May 23, 1993, a bike rental was set up at the train station. Since May 1994 there is no longer any local supervision on the central platform. On December 31, 1994, the track construction machine station located in the locomotive shed was closed. The turntable in the former small train station was dismantled on March 13, 1997. The renovation work on the station forecourt was completed in May 1998.

Largely renovated reception building, January 2020

In 2001 the major dismantling work began. Several tracks and main form signals were dismantled. Platform 1 was rebuilt. From March to April 2003, the remaining H / V shape signals were converted to Hl signals . The switches that provided the connection to platform tracks 2 and 3 have been removed. Since then, train journeys have only taken place on the house platform . Another turnout was installed there, which established a connection to two other tracks. The one remaining platform is divided into sections 1a and 1b. After the renovation work, the station timetable came into force on April 14, 2003. The train from Eberswalde always came in first and stops at platform 1b. Then the train came from Wriezen, drove through platform 2 and stopped at platform 1a. The timetable was changed at the end of 2014, the train crossings were relocated from Bad Freienwalde to Niederfinow and Wriezen.

The engine shed burned down almost completely on the night of November 10, 2011.

The renovation of the station building, which had been vacant for several years, began in 2019.

Platforms and tracks

Today the station has two platforms. However, these are located on a track and are about 100 meters apart. The platforms are each 70 meters long. 1a has a height of 55 centimeters, 1b of 76 centimeters. The platform roof was built around 1900 and is a listed building.

Reception building

The station building is a red brick building that was built around 1900. In 1910 it was expanded. Another renovation followed in 1934. A train station restaurant was opened in 1910.

Signal boxes

Former signal box Nwt at the exit to Eberswalde, 2011

The first Nwt signal box was replaced in 1912 by three mechanical signal boxes of the Zimmermann & Buchloh type , which could be used to remotely control the individual points and signals . The command signal box Fwf ( F reien w alde F ahrdienstleiter later B2 ) was at the south end of the middle platform 3.2 in operation. The guard interlocking FWT ( F reienwalde W est t urm later B1) was located at the exit to Eberswalde or Angermuende, the second guard interlocking Fst ( F reienwalde S OD t urm) stood at the exit to Wriezen. In April 2003, the DB Netz replaced the mechanical interlocking technology with a relay interlocking of the type GS II DR. Operation is via a table in interlocking B2, the guard interlocking W1 and W3 went out of operation.

Other plants

Listed buildings: water tower, outbuildings, residential buildings

The reception building and the following other facilities are under monument protection:

There are two former civil servants' houses in Bad Freienwalde. One of them is to the right of the station building and was built around 1870. The other, which is to the east of the water tower, was not built until around 1900. One of the two is connected to a toilet block. The farm building, stable and workshop building are located diagonally across from the water tower. These systems can be traced back to the years around 1900. The signal box is at the eastern end of the entire system. The former goods shed is at the northeast end and was built around 1890. The free-standing water tower was built in 1904. The station service building, built as an iron skeleton , was not opened until 1930.
