The Friedrichsruh station was operationally a stop on the Berlin – Hamburg railway in the Friedrichsruh district of the Schleswig-Holstein community of Aumühle in the Duchy of Lauenburg . The operating site used to be a class III train station and had a locomotive shed. Since the timetable change on December 15, 2019, the stop will no longer be served.
The listed station building, built in the middle of the 19th century, is one of the oldest preserved station buildings in Schleswig-Holstein and the only one on the line in the state that dates back to the construction time of the railway line. The Otto von Bismarck Foundation has had its seat there since 2000 .
location
The station building is on the 259.7 kilometer of the Berlin – Hamburg line. The place Friedrichsruh is located in the Sachsenwald and used to be a popular excursion destination for the residents of the nearby city of Hamburg . The two side platforms are offset from one another. Passengers reached the other side of the track through an underpass. To the east of the stop, state road 208 crossed the railway line.
history
In the course of the construction of the Berlin – Hamburg railway line, the reception building that has been preserved to this day was built in Friedrichsruh. Like almost all buildings on the Berlin-Hamburg Railway, it was built in the late classicist style. Among other things, there are similarities to the buildings in Friesack in Brandenburg and Ludwigslust in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, but both of these were later extended.
The place Friedrichsruh gained importance after 1871 when Imperial Chancellor Otto von Bismarck received the Sachsenwald as a gift from Kaiser Wilhelm I and Bismarck stayed there more often because of the good transport connections to Berlin. After his release in 1890, Friedrichsruh became Bismarck's retirement home. His property was near the train station tracks. Bismarck obtained special permits for himself and his state guests to stop the trains at his property, about 250 meters from the station building. After Bismarck's death in 1898, around 100,000 people visited the place every year, mostly by train.
The Historischer Bahnhof restaurant was located in the station building until the 1970s . After that it was empty. In the early 1980s, the RAF terrorist Christian Klar used the cellar as a hiding place. He was arrested in 1982 near Friedrichsruh. In the meantime, asylum seekers were accommodated in the station building. It was left to decay by the end of the 1990s. After the renovation, the Otto von Bismarck Foundation moved into the former reception building in 2000 and, in addition to the research facilities, also maintains a museum with a permanent exhibition on German history in the 19th century.
passenger traffic
The stop was last served by regional trains on the Hamburg Hbf - Büchen line by railcars of the DB class 648 every two hours on Sundays. Other local and long-distance trains passed Friedrichsruh without stopping. With the timetable change in December 2019, the stops mentioned, seven in each direction, were omitted.
