history
After Nykøbing Falster had a railway connection with the Nykøbing – Orehoved line in 1872 , A / S Gjedser Jernbane built the Nykøbing – Gedser line as a private railway and put it into operation on July 1, 1886.
The mail steamer connection from Warnemünde to Nykøbing, which was already in service, was shortened to the Warnemünde – Gedser route. On January 1, 1893, the Nykøbing – Gedser connection was nationalized and taken over by the Danske Statsbaner . With the opening of the Warnemünde – Gedser ferry connection on October 1, 1903, international long-distance traffic came to this route. After the Second World War , the traffic situation fundamentally changed due to the Iron Curtain . Since 1949 the Warnemünde – Gedser ferry connection has been operated by the DSB together with the Deutsche Reichsbahn . Since this connection could not be used by the German Federal Railroad , they set up the train ferry Großenbrode-Gedser in 1951 .
In 1963 the Vogelfluglinie was opened and operations on the Grossenbrode – Gedser ferry connection were discontinued. Since then, only long-distance trains have run between Denmark and the GDR via Gedser . After train traffic by the Deutsche Reichsbahn had declined from 1954 to a weekly pair of passenger trains, there was again a daily direct connection Berlin - Copenhagen with a night train ( Baltic Sea Express ) since 1957 . From 1960 a day train ( Neptun ) was added, initially as a transfer connection, continuously from 1964 and partly served by railcars until the 1970s.
In 1995 the rail ferry service between Warnemünde and Gedser was stopped. At times there was no train service between Nykøbing and Gedser before it was reactivated for a few years. In December 2009 the train service was completely stopped. Last day, a pair of trains ran on the route. The route should be expanded, but this failed due to cost reasons. The station was closed with the 2009/10 timetable change.
In the course of the renovation of the ferry port, all tracks were removed from the station in summer 2011 and the building was redesigned as another ferry terminal. It is no longer possible to resume the Berlin – Copenhagen rail connection via the Rostock – Gedser ferry. However, the Gedser Railway Museum in the depot was connected to the existing railway line with a new track connection. Museum trains ran to Gedser again between 2015 and 2019.
Gedser remise
As early as 1986, Danske Statsbaner (DSB) gave up the depot built by A / S Gjedser Jernbane . A railway museum has been set up there since 1987 . Bevaringsforeningen Gedser Remise rented the depot, which DSB no longer needed, and bought it on April 1, 1998. Many vehicles from other museum railways are kept in it.
With the help of German and Danish fans of the Olsenbande film series , the well-known "Det Gule Palæ" signal box from the film The Olsenbande sets the course , originally located on the freight train routes in Copenhagen's southern harbor, was largely saved. It was transferred from Copenhagen to Gedser in September 2016.
The Railway Museum shows railway objects and operates a museum train between Gedser and Nykøbing F. This traffic had to be temporarily suspended due to track damage, but was carried out with a railcar in autumn and Christmas 2019.
Special
The station was used for the exterior shots of the Korsbæk station in the Danish television series Matador.
