The Fichtengrund station is located in the village of Fichtengrund , today in the area of ​​the city of Oranienburg , north of Berlin at the junction of the Berlin-Karow – Fichtengrund railway from the Berlin Northern Railway, which opened in 1950 . This line was built in the GDR in order to bypass the area of West Berlin . At the beginning of the 1960s, the Fichtengrund station was rebuilt in place of a stop that had existed there since the 1890s . This also resulted in the Fichtengrund central signal box , which is now out of operation and is on the list of monuments of the state of Brandenburg .

history

The Fichtengrund halt went into operation on December 15, 1896. Above all, it served suburban traffic in the direction of Berlin, but was not included in the Berlin suburban tariff. As with the neighboring Sachsenhausen stop, those interested locally took over the majority of the construction costs at the stop and made land available free of charge.

The station gained in importance after the Second World War, when a bypass route from Berlin-Karow via Basdorf to the Berlin Northern Railway was created to bypass West Berlin, which ended in the main route at Fichtengrund. The connecting line branching off there between the Northern Railway and the Szczecin Railway took up the plans of the Berliner Güteraußenring (GAR) and continued its kilometering. The connection line went into operation on May 6, 1950, initially with a connection to the northern line from the direction of Oranienburg. On May 23, 1950, the connecting curve to the north followed, which reached the northern line at the Afg junction south of the Fichtengrund stop.

In the course of the expansion of the connection from Berlin to Rostock, the northern railway systems were rebuilt in the early 1960s. The old Fichtengrund stop was replaced by a modern train station located a little to the south, and the confluence of the connecting line from Berlin-Karow was redesigned so that the core area of ​​the train station was on the west side of the triangle between the northern line and the two connecting curves in the direction of Wensickendorf. In 1964, the Fichtengrund central signal box, a GS II DR track diagram signal box, was built. It was built at the confluence of the southern connecting curve with the northern runway. The facilities of the new station gradually went into operation between September 22nd and 28th, 1964.

The section between Wensickendorf and the Northern Railway was also used for military purposes. In Schmachtenhagen , a gauge change system to the broad gauge common in the Soviet Union was built for test purposes. After reunification in 1990 this line became meaningless and closed on February 20, 1999. As early as May 29, 1994, the stop in Fichtengrund was no longer available for passenger trains running on the northern line.

The station and the Fichtengrund signal box were also shut down. The signal box has been empty since then and was sold to private customers in 2012. In this context, the signal box was added to the list of architectural monuments in Oranienburg .

It is planned to remove the other facilities at Fichtengrund station and the still existing pedestrian tunnel in 2017 when the line between Nassenheide and Oranienburg is being expanded.

The station had a GS II DR track diagram . The structure was designed by the construction department of the Deutsche Reichsbahn. The building on the west side of the track system is a type construction from the 1960s, on the one hand it consists of the two-storey part of the building with the service room for the dispatcher with all-round windows. On the north side is a one-story low-rise building that contains the relay room, the power supply systems and the cable termination room. The outer walls were provided with coarse plaster, as it was considered modern in the GDR at that time. Today it is listed as a building of "considerable technical importance".

The Deutsche Reichsbahn built several similar looking buildings in Birkenwerder , Satzkorn , Hohen Neuendorf West and Schönfließ .

Other plants

The facilities of the Fichtengrund train station extended along the Berlin Northern Railway for a length of over 1.3 kilometers. In the area of ​​the Fichtengrund station, the line from Berlin-Karow flowed into the Berlin Northern Railway, with a connection to the south towards the Oranienburg station as well as to the north. On the north runway on the west side of this triangular track, there were two overhaul tracks with platforms next to the two through tracks. In this area, a pedestrian tunnel runs under the tracks. On both the north and south sides, turnout trapezes made it possible to change tracks in all directions. The northern line crosses the Havel in the north of the station area; in the east the connecting route to Karow the Oder-Havel Canal on the listed clinker harbor bridge . All switch connections have now been removed.
