The Küstrin-Kietz station is a through station and a former separation station (branch station) in the municipality of Küstriner Vorland in the Brandenburg district of Märkisch-Oderland . In it the railway to Frankfurt (Oder) branched off from the continuous Prussian Eastern Railway . It was opened as a depot in 1877 and opened for passenger and freight traffic in 1882. After the Second World War it became a border station for traffic to Poland . After reunification , the station lost its importance. Traffic on the route to Frankfurt (Oder) was discontinued in 1996 as a result of the lower demand for transport services. The station's facilities were partially dismantled in the period that followed. In 2006, Deutsche Bahn AG put an electronic signal box in the Küstrin-Kietz station into operation, from which, among other things, the line coming from Berlin to Strausberg is monitored.
location
The station is located about 80 km east of Berlin at the 80.990 kilometer of the Ostbahn (counted from the old Ostbahnhof that no longer exists in Berlin ) and at 0.0 kilometer of the former route from Küstrin-Kietz to Frankfurt (Oder). It is located in the center of Küstrin -Kietz , a district of the municipality of Küstriner Vorland and borders there on Karl-Marx-Straße. To the west, the next operating point is Gorgast train station, four kilometers away . To the east follows on German territory (west of the Oder mainstream) the Küstrin-Altstadt station, which has not been used since 1945, and after a total of about four kilometers, the Polish station Kostrzyn . On the route to Frankfurt, the next operating point was the Neu Manschow stop, the next train station was in Reitwein . Küstrin-Kietz is part of the Berlin-Brandenburg transport association (VBB).
Station names over time
The Küstrin-Kietz train station has been renamed several times in its history:
- Cüstrin-Lange Vorstadt (1879–1882)
- Kietz (1882–1904)
- Cüstrin-Kietz (1904–1929)
- Küstrin-Kietz (passenger traffic: 1929–1952; freight traffic: 1929–1954)
- Kietz (passenger traffic: 1952–1991; freight traffic: 1954–1991)
- Küstrin-Kietz (since 1991)
history

On October 12, 1857, the Kgl. Direction of the Ostbahn zu Bromberg the railway line from Frankfurt via Cüstrin to Kreuz put into operation. This created a direct rail connection from Berlin to Königsberg . Ten years later, on October 1, 1867, the management opened the direct connection between Gusow and Berlin via Strausberg , after the Cüstrin - Gusow section had already gone into operation a year earlier. The Cüstrin station west of the Oder was about one and a half kilometers east of the line separation. At first, no train station has been set up at the junction.
Because the freight traffic increased more and more and the block distance between the train stations Cüstrin and Podelzig was too long with a length of 12.2 kilometers, the Cüstrin-Lange Vorstadt depot was opened on May 15, 1879 to increase passability. Presumably in 1880, by October 15, 1882 at the latest, the station was opened to passenger traffic, and it appears in the timetables under the name Kietz .
In its annual report from 1895, the Frankfurt (Oder) Chamber of Commerce criticized the various station names Kietz, Cüstrin and Cüstrin Vorstadt, as these often led to misrouting and delays in freight traffic. Around ten years later, on June 4, 1904, the stations were given the new names Cüstrin-Kietz , Cüstrin Altstadt and Cüstrin Neustadt Hbf . With the renaming of the city in Küstrin , the station names were adapted accordingly. Since the tracks in Küstrin old town were soon no longer sufficient, the Küstrin-Kietz station was expanded in the 1920s and 1930s.
The station building was destroyed in the Second World War . In March 1950 the reconstruction of the destroyed building began, around this time some signals and barriers were also replaced. The route to Frankfurt (Oder) was open again from October 6, 1950. For the continuous freight traffic between Berlin and Frankfurt (Oder), two new connecting curves were built west of the station (tracks 15 and 16), which connected the Eastern Railway from the west with the Frankfurt side in both directions. In addition, between 1952 and 1954, the track system was expanded to include four transfer tracks on the Frankfurt side. To secure train movements, three additional signal boxes went into operation at that time , which had standard key works, the main signals and points were mostly set in place.
Due to the Oder-Neisse line established as the German-Polish border in the Potsdam Agreement , the greater part of Küstrin came to the People's Republic of Poland as Kostrzyn . Küstrin-Kietz, from 1952 only Kietz , has since performed tasks as a border station for goods traffic , but the actual border clearance took place in the more efficient Kostrzyn station . The passenger trains on the German side ended in Küstrin-Kietz. The Küstrin Grenz railway station in between has only served as a depot since then. In the freight traffic between the German Democratic Republic and the Soviet Union , the station played an important role as part of the Main Line of Friendship . The importance of the border station was also reflected in the number of employees: in 1984 around 180 railway workers were working in Kietz, in 1985 there were 250 employees - including technical departments. At maximum times (as of 1971) around 17 trains per day ran across the border, plus three service passenger trains for railway workers and customs officers when shifts changed .
With the fall of the Berlin Wall , freight traffic to Poland suddenly collapsed, and in 1991 the number of cross-border trains fell to seven. In the same year, on the anniversary of German reunification , the community and the train station in Küstrin-Kietz were renamed. On May 30, 1992, the first passenger trains crossed the border again. On June 2, 1996, Deutsche Bahn ceased passenger services on the route to Frankfurt (Oder). With effect from November 9, 2000, the Federal Railway Authority approved the closure of the line. It was later dismantled.
In 2006 the station was rebuilt and modernized again. For the conversion of the mechanical and electromechanical interlockings to an electronic interlocking (ESTW), a large part of the tracks was tied off or removed. When the ESTW went into operation on November 4, 2006, the station still comprised three main tracks, one of which had a platform edge.
construction
Tracks and platforms
The station had a total of three platform tracks. Track 1 on the Berlin side and track 21 on the Frankfurt side had a house platform at the reception building, the intermediate platform on track 22 on the Frankfurt side could be reached on the same rails. Today the Küstrin-Kietz station has a side platform that is about 224 meters long and 26 centimeters high, but the usable length of which has been limited to 100 meters.
The continuous main tracks on the Berlin side are tracks 2 and 3, track 2 joins the main track to Berlin, in the direction of Kostrzyn the line runs over the border on two tracks. To the north of it, tracks 4 to 9 were six setting-up tracks for freight trains, tracks 4 to 6 were only accessible from the west. On the Frankfurt side, south of track 22, were the holding tracks 23 to 26, which were connected on both sides. The tracks were connected directly to the connecting curve for track 15 via a switch connection. To the west of the station building were further side tracks .
Reception building
The reception building, newly built after 1945, with a floor area of 550 square meters, is located between the tracks on the Berlin and Frankfurt sides. The building, in which some rooms are still used as service rooms for the Niederbarnimer Railway , was auctioned on June 20, 2014.
footbridge
Access was possible from two sides. The Bahnhofsweg led off to the west of the station building. For pedestrians there was a bridge over the tracks on the Frankfurt side. The first bridge existed before the Second World War, but was closed after 1945 due to the damage. It was replaced by a new building in the mid-1950s. In an accident in 1987, the superstructure was so badly damaged that it had to be replaced by a girder bridge .

Signal boxes
Before the Second World War, the station had three mechanical signal boxes of the unit type. The command station Ky (after 1950 B5 ) of the dispatcher stood north of the separation of the Frankfurt from the Berlin route. The Kwt guard interlocking (after 1950 W4 ) was located at the old entrance from Berlin west of the Schwarzen Weg, the second Kst guard interlocking stood at the Bahnhofsweg at the level of the old entrance from Frankfurt (Oder). In Küstrin Altstadt there were two electromechanical signal boxes of the Siemens & Halske design in 1912 (after 1950 W6 and W7 ).
With the expansion of the station in the early 1950s, the Deutsche Reichsbahn had three more mechanical signal boxes built. The signal box W1 was built at the new entrance from Berlin, which was moved forward for the construction of connecting tracks 15 and 16 to the west. Signal box W2 was erected at the merging of track 16 in the line to Frankfurt (Oder), the entrance here was also relocated to the south. Signal box W3 was opposite Kst on the Frankfurt line and was initially responsible for connecting the transfer tracks 23 to 26. Since the technical possibilities were limited as a result of the destruction and the reparation payments to be made , the three new buildings were equipped with key works . Most of the points had to be set by hand on site. These were then locked using various keys, with which the required route was released. Due to the complex process, the signal dependency could still be guaranteed. With the conversion, signal box W6 received a new control area at the exit to Poland; together with W7, the two signal boxes were also subordinate to the command signal box B5. Between the interlockings B5 and W4 there was also the manual turnout district W8.
After the Frankfurt line was closed, it and the connecting curve were dismantled. The signal boxes W2 and W4 were subsequently closed, Kst had been abandoned in the 1960s and was now used by customs, no information is available on W7. The remaining four interlockings were replaced on November 4, 2006 by the electronic interlocking Kf from Siemens . The neighboring Gorgast train station has also been connected to the ESTW since it was commissioned. By December 2011, the Werbig , Seelow-Gusow , Trebnitz (Mark), Müncheberg (Mark) and Rehfelde operating points on the Ostbahn and the Seelow (Mark) station on the Eberswalde Hbf - Werbig - Frankfurt (Oder) line were connected to the ESTW.
passenger traffic
Despite its location on two important main lines, Küstrin-Kietz was not a major long-distance stop. The timetables from 1914 and 1939 indicate about eleven pairs of trains a day for the routes to Berlin and Frankfurt (Oder). While the Frankfurt trains mostly commuted between Küstrin Neustadt Hbf and Frankfurt (Oder), the Berlin trains ran to Küstrin Neustadt Hbf, Landsberg (Warthe) or Schneidemühl . Express and express trains passed without stopping.
After the Frankfurt line was put back into operation in 1950, three pairs of trains began to commute on it, later five pairs of trains. From the 1960s were on four pairs of trains light railcars of the VT Series 2 09 in use. In the direction of Berlin, the trains usually ended in Strausberg , where there was a connection to the Berlin S-Bahn . The circulations of both course book routes were usually coupled.
From 1992 the first passenger trains ran to Kostrzyn according to plan, the service was synchronized and the connections were run as lines RB26 (to Berlin) and RB62 (to Frankfurt). In the future , Deutsche Bahn will use class 628 diesel multiple units instead of the light-combustion railcars . A few years later, it stopped passenger traffic on the route to Frankfurt, and freight traffic followed shortly thereafter. In December 2006, the Niederbarnimer Eisenbahn (NEB) took over passenger traffic on the RB26 line. Since March 20, 2016, individual trains of the RB 26 have been running from Küstrin via Landsberg (Warthe) to Kreuz (Ostbahn) . These journeys are carried out in cooperation with Przewozy Regionalne and Arriva Poland by DB Regio with a DB class 628 multiple unit.
In addition to the NEB trains, two local bus routes serve the station.
