The Lalendorf station is located in the same municipality in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern . The Neustrelitz – Warnemünde line and the Bützow line in the direction of Neubrandenburg cross in Lalendorf . Both railways originally had separate train stations. After the railway line from Neustrelitz to Warnemünde was rebuilt around 1960, it runs past Lalendorf station, but is connected to it via a connecting curve. The station building and some other buildings in the station area are listed as historical monuments.

The station is located in the municipality of Lalendorf in the Rostock district on the southern edge of the town center, about 10 kilometers east of Güstrow and about 40 kilometers southeast of Rostock. The railway line from Bützow runs in an east-west direction, the railway line from Neustrelitz to Warnemünde from southeast to northwest.

history

General

View from the Lloydbahn part of the water tower and the station building

Lalendorf station was opened in 1864 when the Mecklenburgische Friedrich-Franz-Eisenbahn (MFFE) built its line from Güstrow to Malchin. In 1867 the line was extended to Strasburg , from where there was a connection to Stettin on the Prussian side . In 1886 the Lloyd-Bahn went into operation from Neustrelitz to Warnemünde, which crossed the MFFE route in Lalendorf. It got its own station north of the MFFE station. The station forecourt with access road and inn was used by both railway companies. Both lines were connected to each other at the western end of the stations.

After the MFFE had been nationalized in 1877, the state parliament decided in 1890 to nationalize the Lloydbahn as well. The negotiations dragged on, so that the railway only became part of the now state MFFE in 1893. After the nationalization of both railway companies, both stations were combined into one office. Since 1893, the express trains from Rostock to Berlin between Rostock and Lalendorf no longer took the direct route, but via Güstrow, which became one of the most important nodes in the Mecklenburg railway network. To make the transition between the two routes easier, a connecting curve from the MFFE train station in the direction of Neustrelitz, the so-called Berlin curve , was built. From then on, the Lloydbahn station was used as a freight yard. He also received a connecting curve in the direction of Teterow . The Lloyd railway line from Lalendorf to Rostock lost its importance and became a branch line . It was not until 1930 that this line was expanded and used by individual relief express trains.

Signal box

Towards the end of the Second World War, the station was destroyed when an ammunition train standing there was shot at and exploded. Among other things, the former station building of the Lloydbahn and an official residence were destroyed. After the war, the line from Plaaz via Lalendorf, Waren (Müritz) to Neustrelitz was dismantled as a reparation payment to the Soviet Union, and the facilities at Lalendorf train station were also reduced to a minimum.

The new overseas port was built in Rostock at the end of the 1950s. The line from Neustrelitz to Rostock was rebuilt, especially to connect it. It was completely redrawn with larger curve radii. While it was essentially built on the old planum south of Lalendorf, it was given a completely new location in the Lalendorf area and further north. The Lalendorf train station was no longer touched, the line passed east of Lalendorf and crossed the east-west line at an intersection. The Berlin curve remained south of the intersection as a connection to Lalendorf train station. At the junction of the curve from the Berlin route, the Lalendorf Ost depot was built in place of the earlier Vogelsang branch. Both stations were controlled from a new relay interlocking from the GS II DR construction work east of the platforms in Lalendorf station.

When the line was rebuilt, the section of the station that was previously used by Lloydbahn was given tracks again, which were used to park construction trains and as a transshipment point for building materials and agricultural products. In 1984 the line from Neustrelitz via Lalendorf station, Güstrow to Rostock was electrified, the direct line from Lalendorf via Plaaz to Rostock followed a few months later. In Lalendorf, a transformer substation for traction current with a siding was built in the area of ​​the “Berlin curve”.

After 2000 the station was rebuilt and the platform tracks were reduced to one. The station was connected to an electronic signal box .

passenger traffic

The station was usually approached by passenger trains in and from all four directions. As a rule, express trains did not stop at the station, express trains only occasionally. After the line in the direction of Plaaz was dismantled in 1945, there was no passenger traffic from Lalendorf there; When the line was rebuilt after 1960, it no longer served the station and was only ever used by fast-moving trains. Regional traffic from Güstrow via Lalendorf towards Waren (Müritz) was discontinued in 1996. Since then, only InterRegio and later Regional Express trains have operated in this relation between Rostock and Berlin via Güstrow, but as a rule they do not and do not stop in Lalendorf.

Today the RE 6 line from Lübeck via Bad Kleinen, Bützow, Güstrow, Neubrandenburg, Pasewalk to Szczecin and the OLA from Bützow via Güstrow, Neubrandenburg, Pasewalk to Ueckermünde each serve the station every two hours and thus complement each other at an almost hourly rate. The RE 5 from Rostock via Güstrow to Berlin usually passes through the station without stopping.

Outbuildings

The station building is north of the tracks and is empty (status: end of 2012). Today three tracks are still in operation, only one of which has a platform. There is a restricted crossing in the eastern area of ​​the station. In this area, the connecting curve branches off towards Waren and a siding to a substation. The signal box, which was built in the late 1960s and is no longer used today, stands there; the original signal box in the western part of the station was demolished around 1970.

The facilities of the Lloydbahn, which later became the freight yard, are located north of the tracks of the east-west line at an acute angle to it. After the Second World War, this part was no longer used as a train station with signal systems, but sidings were laid there for the supply of building materials and for parking wagons, some of which still exist. The Lloydbahn station building no longer exists, but there are some outbuildings in this area and a water tower that dates back to the time after the First World War.

The station forecourt and the driveway were used jointly by both railway companies. The route of the old route from Lalendorf to Plaaz, which existed until 1945, has been preserved; today there is a path on most of the sections.

The reception building of the MFFE, two civil servants' houses, the avenue to the train station and an administration building are under monument protection.
