history

Platform of the Buckower Kleinbahn , on the right the facilities of the main line, 1991

The Müncheberg (Mark) station went into operation on October 1, 1867 and was initially called Dahmsdorf Müncheberg . It was not until later that it was given its current name Müncheberg (Mark) . In 1897 the narrow-gauge Buckower Kleinbahn was opened, which had its own station north of the state train station. The Müncheberger Kleinbahn was added in 1909. In 1930 the Buckower was converted to standard gauge so that a wagon crossing west of the station was possible, at the same time the line was electrified.

On January 18, 1944 , a serious train accident occurred when an express train from Küstrin hit a stationary train. 56 people were killed and another 159 injured.

Towards the end of the Second World War in April 1945, the station was closed and reopened that same year. In 1971, all train operations on the Müncheberger Kleinbahn were discontinued and the track systems were dismantled in the 1970s. Some railway systems on this route were still preserved in Müncheberg station until the renovation.

On August 5, 2002, track 1 was disconnected from the network and has not been used since then. From 2009 to 2010 the Müncheberg station was modernized and redesigned. Around 900,000 euros in funding were made available for this purpose. The groundbreaking ceremony was on September 1, 2009. On December 17 of the same year, the new platform was put into operation. In April 2010, work on redesigning the area around the station was completed. There was also an inauguration ceremony. At the end of August 2011, the former, no longer used platform 1 at the level crossing was cut out. In November 2011 the former signal bridge was dismantled . In December, Müncheberg was connected to the electronic signal box in Küstrin-Kietz . The reconstruction of that bridge began around 2013. Since January 2012 there is a holiday apartment in the former pumping station .
