The Neuruppin station is located in the same city in northern Brandenburg. It has only existed in this form since a comprehensive renovation of the railway systems in 1999/2000. The original Neuruppin station ( called Neuruppin Hbf from 1930 to the 1960s ) was closed to passenger traffic and the Neuruppin West stop to the west (in operation since 2000) was opened. Neuruppin West's station Part of the station Neuruppin, the same applies for the conversion for the breakpoint Neuruppin Rheinsberger Tor , which is available since 1899th A DB Regio AG workshop , located on the site of the former depot, belongs to the station . The reception buildings of the old Neuruppin train station and the Neuruppin Rheinsberger Tor stop as well as a locomotive shed in the depot are listed as historical monuments.
location
In Neuruppin, the railway lines from Wittstock (formerly from Meyenburg) to Kremmen , which runs roughly from northwest to southwest, and from Neustadt (Dosse) to Herzberg (Mark) in an east-west direction, cross. Both routes run through the city on a two-kilometer section. This section has largely belonged to the Neuruppin train station area since the route was rebuilt.
Both routes meet west of the city center. Here, in 2000, the Neuruppin West stop at the intersection with President Street went into operation. The railway line initially runs north-east. About 500 meters behind the Neuruppin West stop, on the southeast side of the tracks, is the no longer used reception building of Neuruppin Central Station on Bahnhofsstraße. On the other side of the track system is the DB Regio deployment site, the former depot. A few hundred meters behind the main station, the railway line turns to the southeast. The Rheinsberger Tor stop is located northeast of the city center at the intersection with the Strasse des Friedens. Both routes run together on a dam through the Ruppiner See and separate on the east side.
history
Prehistory and construction
Neuruppin was interested in a railway connection as early as the 1840s and wanted to guide the Berlin-Hamburg railway across the city and even wanted to contribute 50,000 thalers to the construction of the line. The difficult topographical conditions with the Ruppiner See to the east of the city prevented a direct rail connection with Berlin for a long time. Neuruppin only got its first railroad in 1880. The Paulinenaue-Neuruppiner Railway connected the city with Paulinenaue on the Hamburg Railway. The Neuruppin train station was built south of the city center east of Fehrbelliner Strasse.
In 1893 the Prussian State Railways opened their line from Berlin to Kremmen . This gave Neuruppin the chance of a further direct connection to Berlin and in the other direction to Wittstock . The problems with crossing the Ruppiner See were now believed to be solvable. The private Kremmen-Neuruppin-Wittstocker railway company was founded for the construction with significant financial participation from the neighboring cities and districts. Original plans included a tour south of the city center to the existing Neuruppiner station of the Paulinenaue-Neuruppiner railway. However, the lake in this area turned out to be too deep for a dam to be built. A route north of the city center was chosen, for which a new train station had to be built. The construction work was carried out by Lenz & Co. On December 16, 1898, goods traffic began, and passenger traffic began on February 1, 1899.
Further development
The Ruppiner Kreisbahn was founded in 1897 and wanted to connect Neuruppin on the one hand with Neustadt (Dosse) on the Berlin-Hamburg Railway and on the other hand with the Berlin Northern Railway . Herzberg (Mark) was chosen as the eastern end point , where there was a connection to the line from Löwenberg opened in 1896 on the northern railway to Lindow (later Rheinsberg ). On November 1, 1902, the line from Neustadt via Neuruppin to Herzberg was opened, which also used the station of the Kremmen-Neuruppin-Wittstocker railway.
On June 21, 1905, the 1.2-kilometer connecting line from Neuruppin station to the Paulinenauer line was opened. It served mainly the freight traffic. Passenger traffic from Paulinenaue remained in the new Paulinenau train station built in 1901 . In 1913 the Kremmen-Neuruppin-Wittstocker Railway and the Ruppiner Kreisbahn merged to form the Ruppiner Eisenbahn Aktiengesellschaft . During this time, the railway facilities were expanded, the representative station building at the Rheinsberger Tor stop (then Rheinsbergertor ) and a large roundhouse were built. In 1916 an airport was built in Neuruppin, which was connected to the railway line. In 1923 the Ruppiner Eisenbahn also bought the Paulinenaue-Neuruppiner Eisenbahn. The Paulinenauer Bahnhof in Neuruppin was completely closed in 1930, and all traffic was concentrated on the station on the Kremmen line, which was named Neuruppin Hauptbahnhof .
After the Second World War, the Ruppin Railway was nationalized. After an interlude as a state railway company, it was taken over by the Deutsche Reichsbahn in 1949 . The railway facilities in Neuruppin were administered by the Reich Railway Directorate Schwerin . Traffic to Neuruppin was influenced by the fact that the division of Berlin caused connections to West Berlin to be partially interrupted in the early 1950s and completely interrupted with the construction of the Berlin Wall . Some of the traffic shifted from the routes to Kremmen and Paulinenaue to the connection via Herzberg.
In 1970 passenger traffic to Paulinenaue was discontinued and the section from Neuruppin to Fehrbellin was dismantled, with the exception of a short connection in the city area due to the construction of the motorway to Rostock.
From 1995 to 1999 traffic from Neuruppin in the direction of Hennigsdorf was suspended for construction work to expand the line as part of the Prignitz Express project . Around the year 2000, the Neuruppin track system was completely rebuilt. The main station was closed to passenger traffic, a new stop approx. 450 m southwest of the main station was opened and was named Neuruppin West .
In 2006, passenger traffic on the Neustadt - Neuruppin - Herzberg route ended. The infrastructure of this route was transferred to the RegioInfra- Gesellschaft in 2010 , but the station area in Neuruppin remained in the possession of Deutsche Bahn.
passenger traffic
Until the end of the 20th century, all lines in contact with Neuruppin were only branch lines and generally only served by passenger trains that stopped in all or almost all stations .
Before the First World War, six continuous pairs of trains ran from the Stettin train station in Berlin via Kremmen and Neuruppin to Wittstock, some of them on to Meyenburg. In the direction of Neustadt (Dosse) and Herzberg there were five to six pairs of trains a day, with a change in Neuruppin. In the 1939 timetable, the offer in the direction of Berlin and Wittstock was similar, with two pairs of trains being added between Neuruppin and Kremmen. In the direction of Paulinenaue and Neustadt there were five pairs of trains a day and ten pairs of trains to Herzberg, practically all of them as railcars . After the Second World War, continuous traffic in the direction of Berlin via Kremmen was interrupted, until the early 1960s there was a continuous pair of passenger trains on the day from Berlin-Lichtenberg via Löwenberg (Mark) , Herzberg, Neuruppin, Wittstock and Meyenburg to Güstrow and Rostock.
In the 1970s and 1980s, between five and eight trains a day ran in the four directions that had remained after the traffic to Paulinenaue had ceased. Used came almost exclusively railcars of the series 171/172 , which were mostly located in Neuruppin. The trains in the direction of Kremmen continued to Velten , where you could change trains to Hennigsdorf. Later the trains were tied to Hennigsdorf.
In the first half of the 1990s, the train service was gradually clocked . In the mid-1990s, trains ran in all four directions almost every two hours. Two pairs of express trains connected Neuruppin with Berlin via Herzberg and Löwenberg (Mark).
From 1995 to 1999, while the line in the direction of Hennigsdorf was closed, direct regional express buses ran between Neuruppin and Berlin Zoologischer Garten station on the motorway. The RE 6 regional express line has been running between Neuruppin and Hennigsdorf and on to Berlin via the Berlin outer ring and the Berlin-Spandau train station since 1999 . There is no direct connection to downtown Berlin over a short distance.
After the rehabilitation of the section from Neuruppin to Wittstock, the RE 6 runs from Berlin via Wittstock to Wittenberge . Until 2006, this line was winged every two hours in Neuruppin Rheinsberger Tor, some of it ran via Herzberg to Rheinsberg. Trains ran every two hours between Neustadt (Dosse) and Neuruppin and Neuruppin and Löwenberg (Mark) via Herzberg. In 2006, traffic on these sections was stopped. Since then, the RE 6 has been the only line that Neuruppin has served. The RE 6 runs every hour, between Neuruppin and Wittenberge only every two hours on weekends. The seasonal traffic to Rheinsberg (RB 54) running in the summer months was carried out from Neuruppin Rheinsberger Tor via Herzberg instead of Löwenberg (Mark) in 2012 and 2013 due to construction work on the Berlin Northern Railway . Five pairs of trains ran on this line every day in the summer months.

Current Neuruppin train station
The Neuruppin railway station, which was built in 1999/2000, includes the city's railway facilities on the approximately two-kilometer common section of the two railway lines. Two tracks run parallel through the city from the Neuruppin West stop (including) to behind the Rheinsberger Tor stop. Both stops are part of the Neuruppin station. A branch leads from the north-western track to the DB Regio deployment site with the corresponding systems. Equipment for freight traffic or other tracks are no longer in operation or have been removed.
Former Neuruppin Hbf
Until the integration of the Paulinenauer trains in 1930, the station was only called Neuruppin , occasionally with the addition: Kremmener Bahnhof or Kremmen-Wittstocker Bahnhof . From then until the mid-1960s it had the addition of Hauptbahnhof , after which it was only called Neuruppin again . Until the renovation around the year 2000, it had a house platform at the station building southeast of the tracks and two island platforms. The platforms were connected by a tunnel, through which the depot northwest of the tracks could be reached.
With the exception of the two continuous main tracks and the systems at the deployment site, the track systems of the former main station have been removed by DB Regio. The listed two-storey reception building was sold to a youth housing project in 2013. The headquarters of the railway administration used to be there. A ten-hour roundhouse in the railway depot is also listed. The freight transport facilities with loading lane and goods floor were located southwest of the reception building and are now used by a logistics company.
Neuruppin West
The lines from Neustadt (Dosse) and Wittstock meet to the west of the stop . Neuruppin West has two outer platforms with “DB PlusPunkt” shelters.
Neuruppin Rheinsberger Tor
Until the 1910s the station was only called Rheinsbergertor . Until the end of the 20th century it had a track with a platform. Since the renovation, it has had two outside platforms. To the east of the stop, a track leads over the sea dam before the two lines separate on the east bank of the Ruppiner See. The station has a representative single-storey reception building with a mansard roof and a round tower based on the architectural elements of the Rheinsberg Castle . The ensemble includes a pavilion next to the station building, which now houses a snack bar. The station building itself has been used by the Rheinsberger Tor public station since 1997 . The Bürgerbahnhof is a combination of tourist information and ticket sales point. The station building and the pavilion ("southern outbuilding") are under monument protection.
