The Ketzin station is the station of the city Ketzin / Havel , who is the line operation without regular traffic since setting. It was the terminus of the Nauen – Ketzin railway on the Osthavelländische Kreisbahnen .
history
In 1893 the railway line from Nauen to Ketzin was inaugurated as the first line of the private Osthavelländische Kreisbahnen AG and the Ketzin station opened. From 1913 the Ketzin station became the seat of the main workshop. After the Second World War , the railway company was expropriated in 1946. The railway and its entire infrastructure first came to the Brandenburg State Railways and then to the Deutsche Reichsbahn . Three years after the expropriation, Ketzin became a depot of the Deutsche Reichsbahn. On May 21, 1966, passenger traffic on the connection between Nauen and Ketzin ended. Ketzin continued to operate in freight transport. For example, in 1984 a so-called new coloring hall was built. Ketzin station was still used for freight traffic until 1997.
In 2007, the Ketzin Station Friends Association was founded with the aim of renovating the station building and making it accessible to the public. Three years later, the association changed its name to Arbeitsgemeinschaft Osthavelländische Kreisbahnen and took over a three-kilometer stretch of track and the Ketzin station area without the reception building and some ancillary buildings.
