The Brandenburg Krakauer Tor station (originally Dom Brandenburg station ) as the former terminus of the West Havelland regional railways is located in the Cracow suburb of the city of Brandenburg an der Havel . From him the trains drove on the single-track, now disused and dismantled railway line from Brandenburg to Nauen. The station with the old reception building and a goods shed is now a listed building .
history
In order to establish a rail connection from Nauen to Brandenburg and to connect the places along the route, especially for goods traffic, the rail line from Röthehof to the station of the independent municipality of Dom Brandenburg was opened on July 5, 1901 . In Röthehof there was a connection to the Osthavelländische Kreisbahnen route towards Nauen. As a continuation to the city of Brandenburg an der Havel was not possible for topographical reasons, the Westhavelländische Kreisbahnen built a branch line from Roskow in the city of Brandenburg to the Brandenburg city railway in 1904 . The name Brandenburg Krakauer Tor is already used for the railway station Dom Brandenburg in 1905 .
The railway company remained private until 1946, but was then expropriated by the Soviet military administration and finally incorporated into the Deutsche Reichsbahn . Due to the sharp decline in demand, passenger train traffic on the route to Krakauer Tor was discontinued on October 4, 1959, and freight train traffic as well. This was followed by the dismantling of the track system. The station building is now used as a private residence.
Building
The old station building was located southeast of the former track system. It is including the freight shed three parts and was made of yellow bricks brick. The middle part of the building is three, the western part is two-story and the former goods shed to the east is one-story. The middle part of the building juts out on all sides opposite the western one. The windows to the south and north are each designed with flat segmental arches. The windows on the upper floor in the central building are narrow, the other windows are wide. As a color contrast, individual layers of bricks, a simple, profiled cornice between the lower and middle floors, console stones supporting this cornice and the arched lines of the windows were bricked with red instead of the yellow ones otherwise used. The access to the tracks was in the eastern wall of the central part of the building under a canopy of the goods shed. This goods shed was timbered as a half -timbered structure and also walled up with yellow bricks between the wooden beams. It has a flat monopitch roof . The roofs of the other two parts of the building are flat gable roofs , with the gables of the central one facing north and south and those of the west facing west and east. Throat beams and vertical carved beams are used for decoration.
There was only one track in front of the station building, so that after the passengers got off the trains had to be pushed back to the tracks to the east to transfer the locomotive.
