history

The station, which was built on the Löwenberg – Lindow line, opened on August 10, 1896. From 1899, the trains ran to Rheinsberg (Mark) station , and in 1902 the Neustadt – Herzberg line began operating.

From 1970, the 172 series rail buses dominated the appearance of the station, before trains hauled by steam locomotives were used. Destinations that could be reached directly from Herzberg are Rheinsberg, Neuruppin, Löwenberg and Oranienburg. Until 2006 the Prignitz Express and a regional train from Neuruppin to Löwenberg ran in Herzberg. Today the offer is limited to the seasonal line RB 54 from Berlin to Rheinsberg.

The station served as the backdrop for the film Der Baader Meinhof Complex and the series Doc meets Dorf . In addition, filming for the film No Man's Land - The Aftermath was carried out on the route and at the station.

Operation and facilities

Until 2006, crossings of three trains were common in the station. After the station lost its importance, the tracks and platforms were drastically reduced. The remaining two tracks have been the platform tracks since around 2010.

Freight traffic is limited to transports from the Rheinsberg nuclear power plant and some diversion traffic. In addition, there are transfers of the DB Neuruppin plant.

The Herzberg signal box is manned on operating days by a dispatcher who also serves as a train conductor.

According to VBB , the station is one of the worst quality stations in Berlin-Brandenburg. This is due, among other things, to a lack of passenger information.
