The Jasnitz station is a station on the Berlin-Hamburg Railway in the district Ludwigslust-Parchim in the southwest of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern . The station, opened in 1876, was set up so that the Mecklenburg Grand Duke Friedrich Franz II could reach his hunting grounds in the extensive forests of the area. The station was one of the few princely stations in Mecklenburg and received a representative reception building with a princely room. The listed building was demolished in autumn 2014.
location
The train station is located in the Jasnitz district of the Picher municipality, about four kilometers north of the core town. Originally the station was laid out about one kilometer south of the Jasnitz forestry department; the surrounding houses were previously referred to as Picher mining operations . With increasing development around the station area, most of the houses in Jasnitz are now in the station area.
Extensive forests stretch out especially north of the station. The area used to be called Die Jasnitz , and the name Wildpark for the forest is common. The name Jasnitz is of Slavic origin and is derived from Eschenort .
The station is located at kilometer 180.6 of the Berlin – Hamburg railway line, around ten kilometers northwest of Ludwigslust station and eleven kilometers southeast of Hagenow Land station .
history
railway station
Originally there were no intermediate stops on the 21-kilometer section between Ludwigslust and Hagenow of the Berlin-Hamburg Railway, which opened in 1846.
Around 1870, Schulze von Picher campaigned for the state government to build a bus stop near the town. After discussions with the board of directors of the railway company, this was finally approved. In 1874, construction work began on building a bus stop in Jasnitz. The decisive factor for the construction of the station in this small town (in the 1880s it had only 43 inhabitants) were ultimately not economic reasons, but the hunting interests of Grand Duke Friedrich Franz II. On January 1, 1876, the station went into operation.
Around 1950 a granary was built near the train station, which later became a loading center. In 1969 a scrap processing company settled at the station. Both factories were closed shortly after the fall of the Wall in the early 1990s.
In the mid-1990s, as part of the expansion of the Berlin – Hamburg line, the station facilities were redesigned and the tracks in the station were electrified. The signal box in the station was in operation until 1996 and the building was inhabited until 1997. After that it was empty without the owner, Deutsche Bahn, securing the house accordingly.
The reception building was demolished in autumn 2014. The Deutsche Bahn justified this with severe water damage and threats to the operational safety of traffic on the railway line.
traffic
In the beginning, only a few passenger trains stopped at the station, later the offer was expanded. Before the First World War (timetable 1914) around seven passenger trains stopped at the station in each direction per day, in 1939 there were five. While some of these trains connected Jasnitz directly with Berlin and Hamburg, the range from the 1950s to the early 1990s was limited to four pairs of trains between Ludwigslust and Hagenow, including Zarrentin at times . In the mid-1990s, the offer was clocked, since then Jasnitz has been served every two hours. Since 2002, the East German Railway has operated passenger services from Hagenow via Jasnitz and Ludwigslust to Parchim . The continuation to Neustrelitz Hauptbahnhof was discontinued in 2014.
Wood, grain and cattle were loaded at the station for freight transport. Freight traffic was discontinued in the early 1990s.
Investments
The station building was on the north side of the tracks.
It was a two-story brick building with a half-timbered attic . The building was originally designed to be strictly symmetrical. Later, an extension was built on the west side and a goods shed on the east side of the building. Inside there was the prince's room and a waiting room for the 2nd and 3rd and 4th grade. There were also rooms for the dispatcher and living rooms on the upper floor in the station building.
After 1919 the prince's room was closed and after a renovation it was used for residential purposes. To the east of the reception building there was another signal box, a brick building with a half-timbered attic. Like the toilet block, it was demolished in 1993 as part of the renovation work on the station.
Before the Second World War, the station had a total of five continuous tracks, two of which were dismantled after 1945 as a reparation payment .
Since the renovation in the 1990s, the station has had two through tracks and an overhaul track on the southwest side of the facility. The two outer platforms are located on the northern through track and on the overtaking track south of the through tracks. The former loading street connects to the latter.
The former restricted road crossing west of the reception building was replaced by an underpass at the end of 2004. This underpass also serves as a connection between the two platforms.
