The Budwity station ( German  Bauditten ) was a station on the Małdyty – Malbork (Maldeuten – Marienburg) railway line opened on September 1, 1893 in East Prussia . From around 1925 he owned a reception building which was called the "Kaiserpavillon" and which previously stood in Prökelwitz.

The train station, which was operationally an agent manned stop in 1938, was called Ebenhöh (Ostpr) in German times . It is located in the small settlement Gumniska-Małe (formerly German  Klein Ruppertswalde ).

history

Ebenhöh (East Prussia) - train station in winter between 1920 and 1930

Originally the "Kaiserpavillon" in Prökelwitz ( Prakwice in Polish ) was built in connection with the hunting passion of the German Emperor Wilhelm II. On the railway line between Maldeuten and Marienburg .

After the end of the monarchy, the Prökelwitz stop was dissolved as a stopover in 1918 and the “Kaiserpavillon” was moved to Bauditten, where it has stood since then.

The wooden structure was completely dismantled and rebuilt in its current location around 1925. During this time and later, modifications were made that changed the original appearance of the “Kaiserpavillon”.

During the interwar period, the station was modernized between the 1920s and 1930s. After the strategic importance of the railway lines in World War II, the Małdyty – Malbork line was dismantled by the Soviets in 1945.

After the Second World War

From May 8, 1945 to July 16, 1947 the place was called Bałdyty and was then changed to Budwity. From 1948 the station with the name Budwity was recorded in the timetable of the Polish state railway PKP .

In 1949 the line was rebuilt, on which no more than four pairs of trains ran daily. The outbuilding was then inhabited by families of railway workers. In the 1950s, the station was converted for residential purposes. Later his condition worsened. In 1989, the profitability of the line was examined, which had been making losses for years. After the cessation of freight traffic, the last timetables from 1997 only contained two pairs of trains. At the end of 1999 passenger traffic was stopped and the station closed.

On April 26, 2004 the decision was made to finally shut down the line. Contrary to the usual practice in Poland of leaving the tracks of disused lines lying around, these were removed in 2008.

The building was not spared from looters. The entire interior was stolen and various types of destruction took place. The windows were nailed shut and the station was for sale for several years. It is now privately owned.

Viewed from the platform side - from the north - there was a bay window with a triple window under the tower. This bay window was replaced with new windows during the renovation in a modern design, where the heating of the building is also located.

The repair work on the station began at the beginning of 2018 and was completed in the middle of the year. The existing platform edge outside the property, a no longer operational arc lamp with a concrete mast in the middle of the garden and the small railway bridge, under which the only access to the station, the former loading yard and the still existing and inhabited outbuildings pass, are reminiscent of railway operations.
