Neustrelitz Hbf in the city of the same name is an important railway junction in the south of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania . Here the Neustrelitz – Warnemünde railway branches off from the Berlin Northern Railway . For the formerly private train from the Prussian border at Buschhof to Strasburg , a separate train station was built next to the main train station, which today bears the name Neustrelitz Süd . Its reception building and some outbuildings of the main train station are under monument protection.
Location and name
The main station is located east of the city center of Neustrelitz at route kilometer 98.5 of the Berlin Northern Railway. The line from Berlin reaches Neustrelitz from the south and turns north of the train station in a northeast direction. The Neustrelitz – Warnemünde (Lloydbahn) line begins at the station in a north-west direction. To the east of the main station is the Neustrelitz Süd station on the Wittenberge – Strasburg railway line. This comes from the west, passes under the northern runway south of the stations and then initially runs parallel to the northern runway. The Neustrelitz Süd station is no longer used for passenger traffic after the tracks were swiveled from the direction of Mirow, so that trains on this line can start from Neustrelitz Hbf.
Originally the station was only called Neustrelitz. With the commissioning of a separate station for the private company he was since 1908 Neustrelitz Staatsbf and since 1922 Neustrelitz Reichsb called. Since June 15, 1941, the station has been called Neustrelitz Hbf .
history
Plans for a railway line from Berlin to Stralsund via Neustrelitz, at that time the royal seat of Mecklenburg-Strelitz , have been in existence since the 1850s. In 1853 the Prussian King Friedrich Wilhelm IV approved a private railway line between these cities. However, due to the poor economic situation and the lack of state aid, the project failed. In the 1860s these plans were revived and the Berliner Nord-Eisenbahn-Gesellschaft was founded. In the spring of 1872, construction work began on the line, and in 1873 on the Mecklenburg section too, but it dragged on. After shares in the company were taken over by the Prussian state in 1875, the line from Berlin via Neustrelitz to Neubrandenburg was finally opened on July 10, 1877; on January 1, 1878, it went into operation continuously as far as Stralsund. The line was also under the Prussian railway administration in Mecklenburg. The Neustrelitz reception building was built in a particularly representative manner, as the Grand Duke of Mecklenburg-Strelitz resided there.
In 1886, the Neustrelitz station became a railway junction after the Lloydbahn ran from Neustrelitz to Warnemünde. Corresponding areas had already been taken into account when the station was built. Due to cost-saving measures, the extensions to the station for the new route were reduced to a minimum. A stump track on the house platform was built, as well as some transfer and side tracks were built. The only building of the Lloyd-Bahn in Neustrelitz was a combined residential and service building on Schwarzen Weg. After the nationalization of the Mecklenburg Railways and the inclusion of through express trains from Berlin via the Lloydbahn to Copenhagen, the track system was expanded several times. The tracks of the Lloydbahn were administered by the management of the Mecklenburg Friedrich-Franz-Eisenbahn , that of the Nordbahn by the Königlich Prussischen Eisenbahndirektion in Stettin. Even after the establishment of the Deutsche Reichsbahn , the border between two directorates (Schwerin and Stettin, later Greifswald) ran through the station.
On May 18, 1890, the Mecklenburg Friedrich Wilhelm Railway Company (MFWE) opened its line from Neustrelitz to Mirow. In 1895 the line was extended to the Prussian border at Buschhof, where there was a connection to the Prussian line from Perleberg via Wittstock . As early as 1890, the MFWE had also opened the line from Blankensee on the northern railway in the direction of Neubrandenburg to Strasburg . In 1907 they built their own line between Neustrelitz and Blankensee parallel to the northern railway. While the MFWE had shared the state train stations in both places, it was now building separate train stations. In Neustrelitz, the Neustrelitz MFWE station, which later became the Neustrelitz Süd station, was built next to the state station. In 1910, the Thurow – Feldberg railway branching off from the MFWE line to Strasburg was opened, the trains of which always ran continuously to and from Neustrelitz.
The station building was destroyed in the Second World War, only the ground floor remained and was equipped with an emergency roof. After the end of the war, the line from Thurow to Strasburg, which was formerly owned by MFWE, was dismantled, and traffic to Feldberg continued. The track of the Lloydbahn in the direction of Rostock was dismantled from Neustrelitz to Plaaz as a reparation payment . At the end of the 1950s, however, it became clear that the line had to be rebuilt urgently. Above all, the newly built overseas port of Rostock required an efficient freight train connection. In 1958, the reconstruction of the line began, which was completely redrawn over large sections. In the Neustrelitz area, too, the route was created in a different location. While the original line branched off towards the northwest at the northern end of the station, the new line initially follows the northern runway and only then turns to the northwest. On March 31, 1961, the line between Lalendorf and Neustrelitz was initially reopened as a branch line, then converted into a single-track main line on May 30, 1964.
With the conversion of traffic to diesel locomotives from 1969 to 1973, the Neustrelitz depot was built as a new large workshop. First of all, large series 130 and 132 diesel locomotives were serviced here. Around 2000 railway workers worked at the Neustrelitz location.
On June 2, 1984, electrical operations began at Neustrelitz station. In previous years, the second track was laid in the direction of Waren (Müritz) and the station was rebuilt. Since then, the new central platform can be reached via a pedestrian underpass. In 1993 the railway line to Neubrandenburg was also electrified. In 1992 the station building was renovated.
In 2000, traffic on the line to Feldberg was stopped. In 2003, the track branch from Mirow was rebuilt and the line led directly to the main station, since then the south station has been without passenger traffic. The control of the signaling systems is done since that time the electronic signal box Fuerstenberg / Havel, from the operations center in Berlin. In December 2012, rail operations on the line to Mirow should be discontinued due to insufficient passenger numbers. As part of a model project, however, in cooperation with the district and the infrastructure operator, RegioInfra GmbH, six pairs of trains continue to run between the two cities a day. They are operated by the Potsdam railway company or its outsourced passenger transport company Hanseatische Eisenbahn GmbH (HANS).

Bus transport
The central bus station is located in the immediate vicinity of the train station. Three city bus routes operated by the company BB-Reisen connect it with all parts of the city. Regional bus lines operated by the Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania Transport Company to the towns and villages in the area also start at the bus station .
Investments
For passenger traffic, the station has a house platform and an island platform with two platform edges. At the northern end of the house platform there is another head platform. The facilities for freight traffic are connected to the north of the platforms, where there is also a track connection between the main railway lines and the southern station.
The track on the house platform bears the number 2, on the neighboring island platform are tracks 3 and 4. Track 1 is a head track at the northern end of the house platform.
The station building is on the western side of the track facing the city. It was badly damaged in the Second World War and only temporarily and partially rebuilt.
The Neustrelitz Süd train station is located east of the main train station and can be reached via the main train station's pedestrian tunnel. It has a house platform and an island platform that is accessible at ground level via the tracks. Its reception building is a listed building. The Lloydbahn's residential building for railway officials on Schwarzen Weg and the public lavatory at the main train station are also listed.
The railway depot's facilities are located just under a kilometer north of the passenger station on the west side of the tracks. After Deutsche Bahn wanted to part with the plant, it was taken over by Prignitzer Eisenbahn GmbH , which later became a subsidiary of the Italian Netinera . Today it operates under the name Netinera Werke GmbH .
