history
On April 4, 1896, Magdeburgerforth was connected to the German railway network. On this day the section from Burg via Grabow to Magdeburgerforth was opened. In the same year, on July 19, 1896, the connection from Magdeburgerforth to Ziesar Ost was extended and on October 8 the section Magdeburgerforth via Altengrabow to Groß Lübars was put into operation. The Magdeburgerforth station had thus become the separation station of the narrow-gauge network. The connection to Groß Lübars was extended on July 21, 1902 to Loburg and later to Gommern .
After the Second World War , the state railways of Saxony-Anhalt initially took over management, before management was transferred to the Deutsche Reichsbahn in 1949 . In 1965 the network was finally shut down.
In 2005, the traditional association Kleinbahn of the district Jerichow I took over the Magdeburgerforth station and subsequently expanded it into a museum station. Furthermore, the narrow-gauge connection to Altengrabow will be renewed.
