The Ducherow station is on the main line Angermünde - Stralsund situated Station . The station, which was opened together with the line in 1863, was also the starting point of a main line to Swinoujscie from 1876 to 1945 , which mainly served the tourist traffic to the island of Usedom .

location

The station is located in kilometer  163.19 of the VzG route 6081 ( Berlin Gesundbrunnen  - Angermünde  - Stralsund Hbf ) and is the starting point of the VzG route 6768 (Ducherow - Świnoujście Centrum  - Seebad Heringsdorf ), which has been closed since 1945 .

The center of the eponymous municipality of Ducherow is located immediately west of the train station and is connected to it via state road 31 . The state road crosses the route at the same level. The former station building is north of the level crossing and west of the line. The access was via the cross street Am Bahnhof. Since a renovation in 2004, the platforms are located south of the level crossing. The side platforms are each 140 meters long with a platform height of 55 centimeters.

The neighboring operating points are the Ferdinandshof stop to the south and the Anklam station to the north.

history

Entrance building, around 1906

In the middle of the 1850s, the project of a Western Pomerania railway to connect the Baltic Sea ports of Greifswald and Stralsund took shape . On the line built by the Berlin-Stettiner Eisenbahn-Gesellschaft (BStE), in addition to several train stations in the larger municipalities and cities, two stops in Jatznick and Ducherow were planned in order to be able to cover a sufficiently large catchment area. The operating site, now designed as a train station, went into operation on March 16, 1863 , together with the first section of the line from Angermünde to Anklam .

With the construction of the main line to Swinoujscie (Polish: Świnoujście ) from 1873, the first major renovation of the station took place. The line went into operation on May 15, 1876. In the same year a new reception building was completed, presumably the station restaurant opened with it . After the nationalization of the BStE in February 1880, the Royal Railway Direction (KED) Berlin was the authority responsible for the station from 1881 , from 1895 the station was in the area of ​​the KED Stettin (from 1922: Reichsbahndirektion [Rbd] Stettin).

With the double-track expansion from Jatznick to Stralsund or Swindemünde Hbf, a second expansion took place from 1906 to 1910. The station was expanded to five passenger tracks, access was from the main platform and from two central platforms, which were connected by a pedestrian tunnel. Several shunting and loading tracks were built to the west of the platforms. The exit of the Swindemünde route was designed to be free of intersections, the overpass structure for the main line from Swindemünde to Angermünde was located about 2.7 kilometers north of the reception building in the town of Busow . The line tracks ran parallel to the Stralsund Railway to the Ducherow station, where they ended in tracks 2 and 5. Along with the expansion, the signal boxes were renewed; On the west side, a two-tier locomotive shed with built-on overnight and common rooms, a turntable and a water tower were built . In 1914 a siding went into operation for a local coal trade.

The Rbd Stettin had the station building expanded in 1923 to include a northern extension. As a result, additional living space could be gained and the station management expanded. This was of particular benefit to those transferring to Usedom. From 1935 a small locomotive ( Kö 4466 ) was stationed in Ducherow for shunting service . To accommodate the vehicle, a separate stand with a partition wall was marked out in the locomotive shed. For 1940 and 1942 the Kö 4911 was located in Ducherow. The locomotives were responsible, among other things, for the operation of a siding to a forage collection point of the Wehrmacht .

The demolition of Karniner bridge over the river Peene in April 1945 linking the island of Usedom of Ducherow out was no longer possible. Due to the shift to the west of Poland , the line was also interrupted at Swindemünde, so that the southern section from Ducherow was dismantled as a reparation payment to the Soviet Union . When the border was moved, the Stettin Reich Railway Directorate was also dissolved; it was replaced by the Greifswald Reich Railway Directorate , which was responsible for the station until 1990. This was accompanied by the dismantling of several tracks, including track 1 on the house platform, the turntable and later also some auxiliary buildings. The Ducherow railway maintenance depot , which was responsible for maintaining the Swindemünde route, dissolved the Greifswald district in 1950.

From September 24, 1988, the Pasewalk  - Züssow section was electrified. On December 14, 1993, the Reichsbahn had the water tower blown up, and almost a year later, on January 1, 1995, ticket issuance in the reception building closed. Since the last train station manager moved out before the fall of the Wall , the building has been empty since then. Also after the fall of the Wall, the sidings to the coal trade and the former AGZ (built after 1945) were given up. In summer 2005 the station was rebuilt again. The existing platforms were removed and two new side platforms were built south of the state road. The old central platforms were then removed and the pedestrian tunnel filled. In addition, the station was dismantled except for a passing track, followed by the conversion of the mechanical interlockings to an electronic interlocking .

Signal boxes

Signal box Dst

The station was initially equipped with two, after 1908 with three signal boxes. The new buildings from 1908 were mechanical signal boxes of the Zimmermann & Buchloh type . Command signal box and seat of the dispatcher was the signal box Duf at the northern end of the platform 3, it was subordinated to the guards interlocking Dnt at North Head and Dst in the amount of the level crossing at South Head. A telegraph operator also worked in Duf . The signal box was closed in 1967 and the building was demolished five years later. The dispatcher now had his seat in the north tower B2 (formerly Dnt), the south tower was given the same name as W1. While the exit signals were high frequency signals ( form signal ), the entry signal from the direction of Anklam, probably also the entry signal from the opposite direction, in later years were hi-signals (light signals). The southern entrance signal A is said to have been a three-wing shape signal until 1945. By March 2005, the signals were converted to the Ks signal system and an ESTW-A was set up for the Ducherow control area. Since then, the station has been monitored by the operations center of the Eastern regional division of DB Netz in Berlin-Pankow .

Small and field railways

On September 1, 1897, the Ducherow small station of the Mecklenburg-Pomerania narrow-gauge railway to the west of the state railway station went into operation. The station was the end of a 6.9 kilometer branch line (600 millimeters narrow gauge ) from Dargibell , where there was a connection to Anklam and Friedland . The railway was used exclusively for freight traffic, there was no connection to the state train station. Several field railways connected to the station, including to the lands of the Count of Schwerin and to the Ducherower brickworks . The field railway initially crossed the state railway line in the course of the Ducherow-Ueckermünder Chaussee. Since this and the later Reichsbahn prohibited a crossing of their route with locomotives for safety reasons, the railways were operated as horse-drawn trams . The small railway line was dismantled in 1945 as a reparation payment to the Soviet Union .

From 1949, the field railways connected directly to the station, and in the same year the first diesel locomotive was also used. The clay bricks were initially reloaded by hand, later a gantry crane was available. The connection to the station was operated until the expansion of the Chaussee in 1976, after which it was transported away by truck . The light railroad was in operation until 1992.

traffic

Until 1945, the station was primarily used for transfer traffic and local freight traffic. However, there was no car handling to and from Usedom. In addition to passenger and express trains from Berlin to Stralsund and the island of Rügen and Usedom , the station was also occasionally served by international express trains . The station is currently operated every two hours by the RE3 regional express line, which creates a direct connection to Stralsund and Berlin.
