Location and structure

Track systems, 1991

The train station is in the town of Kremmen in the Oberhavel district in Brandenburg, northwest of Berlin. It is the end point of the Kremmener Bahn, which branches off from the Berlin Northern Railway at Berlin-Schönholz station , at route kilometer 37.2. The Kremmener Bahn took over the kilometering from the Nordbahn, the zero point is the former Nordbahnhof (later Berlin Eberswalder Strasse station ) in the area of ​​today's Mauerpark . To the northwest, the Kremmen − Meyenburg railway line, which begins at Kremmen station, connects to the Kremmener Bahn. The Nauen – Oranienburg railway line coming from the south-west crossed the Kremmener Bahn, Kremmen station is at 20.6 km, counted from Nauen station. The station was built a little over a kilometer southeast of downtown Kremmen not far from Berliner Chaussee.

The tracks run in the station area in a south-east-north-west direction. The station building is southwest of the track system. The track system comprises the continuous main track 1 for the trains on the RE 6 line and the butt track 2 at the reception building for the RB 55 amplifiers.

The signal installations were two mechanical signal boxes , the command signal box  Krm and the guards interlocking  Kob , monitored from. Krm was at the south head, Kob at the north head of the station. The two signal boxes were in operation until around 2000. During the renovation phase, a GS II DR control table was installed in the command center . Since February 26, 2005, the station has been remote-controlled by the Neuruppin ESTW .

history

Entrance building, 1991

The Kremmener Bahn from Berlin was built by the Prussian State Railways and went into operation with the Kremmen station on December 20, 1893. As a result, the towns further north-west, especially the city of Neuruppin , were interested in connecting to this railway line. On June 25, 1897, the private Kremmen-Neuruppin Railway Company (later part of the Ruppin Railway ) received the concession to build a railway line that went into operation on December 16, 1898 for goods traffic to Neuruppin, and on February 1, 1899 for passenger traffic as well . In 1901 the station was rebuilt by the company Lenz & Co. , operator of the private railway until 1906, and received, among other things, a platform tunnel. Although both railway companies shared the station's facilities, the state railway did not allow the private railways to use their facilities to supply the locomotives with water. Lenz & Co. then built a water station in the neighboring Beetz- Sommerfeld train station . In the first years of operation, travelers from Berlin in the direction of Neuruppin still had to change trains in Kremmen, but even before the First World War, the trains ran on the routes of both companies from the Szczecin train station in Berlin to Neuruppin without having to change trains in Kremmen.

In the course of the construction of the Nauen – Oranienburg railway line in the 1910s, the station was once again "underwent a less thorough renovation". The original platform (tracks 1/2) of the trains Berlin - Neuruppin served from then on as the bypass line, to the north-east of it another central platform (tracks 5/9) was built. Both were connected to the reception building via a pedestrian tunnel. At the Südkopf, the Kremmener Bahn crossed the bypass line at the same level via an overpass.

In 1945, rail traffic in Kremmen was completely interrupted for a few months before a connection to Hennigsdorf took place again in June. The route of the Ruppin Railway from Kremmen to Wittstock and Neuruppin came to the Deutsche Reichsbahn in 1949 . After the construction of the Berlin Wall in 1961, the direct connection to Berlin via the Kremmener Bahn was finally cut and Kremmen was in a peripheral location. Passenger traffic to Nauen and Oranienburg was discontinued in 1967. After the shutdown, the Reichsbahn had the bridge at the Südkopf demolished and moved the entrance of the Kremmener Bahn to platform 1/2.

So little was changed or modernized in the systems that the ZDF and DEFA used the station as a location for the historical film Krücke in 1992 , which was set in the post-war period. Between 1995 and 1998 the line and track systems were expanded in the course of the creation of the Prignitz Express, so that the station was only connected to Hennigsdorf in the replacement rail service. Even after the line was expanded, the station building was no longer needed for operational purposes and was empty.

In the following years nothing happened on the station building except for the demolition of a shed. In 2004, Deutsche Bahn sold the building along with around 1,000 other train stations to a company from Luxembourg that was supposed to find buyers. In 2011, a citizen bought the station, but failed because of the entry in the land register . The station was empty until 2012 and was not used. In 2012, a local farmer and former mayor and mayor bought the building. He is planning to set up a kiosk, a gift shop, guest rooms and apartments there together with a tenant. The facade was extensively renovated by 2015.

passenger traffic

Platforms, 2015

With the start of electric S-Bahn traffic between Berlin and Velten on March 16, 1927, the suburban trains between Berlin and Velten were discontinued, travelers to Kremmen had to change trains in Velten. Trains that continued in the direction of Neuruppin and Wittstock, on the other hand, usually started at the Szczecin long-distance train station in Berlin and thus offered a direct connection between Berlin and Kremmen. In 1939 there were eight connections between Berlin and Neuruppin via Kremmen, six of which were continuous and two had to be changed in Velten. In addition, there were around 20 pairs of trains a day between Velten and Kremmen with connections from the S-Bahn.

The volume of passenger traffic on the Nauen – Oranienburg route initially remained low. In 1934, Kremmen station was served by only three pairs of trains a day in this relation, plus a single train from Nauen to Kremmen. As a result of the growing arms industry in the Oranienburg area, the number of trains on this route increased to eight pairs of trains per day by 1939.

In 1994 the train service was clocked, from then on the trains ran every two hours with individual amplifiers between Hennigsdorf and Kremmen.
