The Ostseebad Binz station is one of two stations in the Baltic Sea resort of Binz on the island of Rügen . It is located at line kilometer 12.1 of the Lietzow – Binz railway line and is its southern terminus . The station is operated by Deutsche Bahn and regularly served by regional and long-distance trains.
Unofficially, the Ostseebad Binz station is also known as the Binz Großbahnhof , as the Binz LB station is also located on the Rügen Kleinbahn .
history
The station building was completed in 1938. A year later, the Deutsche Reichsbahn officially opened the station together with the Lietzow – Binz line. Due to the Second World War , however, initially only a few trains ran, in 1940 there were two pairs of trains per day. When the war was over, the line had to be dismantled as a reparation and the station had to be shut down. However, it was rebuilt within a few years, so that the station could go into operation again in 1952. After that it was used for military purposes. On October 1, 1953, goods traffic was resumed; passenger traffic resumed on December 11, 1956. In the years that followed, the first measures to expand the station followed. Towards the end of the 1950s, a few long-distance trains were run to Binz.
During the time of the GDR , the station was regularly served by express trains. Due to its relatively high importance for national and international long-distance traffic, it was connected to the electrical railway network on May 27, 1989. At that time the station consisted of three main tracks, three sidings and two locomotive tracks. A siding to a heating plant branched off at the signal box with the designation B1.
After the fall of the Wall , travel and freight traffic decreased. Freight traffic was therefore stopped in 1995.
In 1991 the first Intercity stopped at the Binz train station. From 1997 to 2000 the station was completely renovated, including the construction of the platforms. The station name was changed to "Ostseebad Binz". The connecting track to the heating plant was removed. The station also received light signals. The renovation cost around 9.5 million marks.
In March 2011, the Ostseebad Binz station was connected to the ICE network of Deutsche Bahn by a weekly pair of trains to Munich .

This is used exclusively for passage through the station to the end of the line about 150 meters further south. Long-distance trains always stop on platforms 2 or 3, regional trains on platform 4. There is a parking facility to the north of the station. The signal systems are controlled from the electronic interlocking in Lietzow .
