The Pasewalk station is a railway junction in the east of the state Mecklenburg-Vorpommern . The Angermünde-Stralsund Railway and the Bützow – Szczecin railway cross here . In addition to the Stralsund main station , Pasewalk is the most important German hub station in Western Pomerania .
location
The station is located on the northern outskirts of the 11,700 inhabitant town of Pasewalk . It is designed as a wedge station . The eastern side of the station serves the traffic in the direction of Szczecin , the western one in the direction of Angermünde . In the northern area of the station, the two lines are linked; there are extensive facilities for the shunting and freight traffic of the former two-sided shunting yard , which have hardly been used since the 1990s.
history
Pasewalk got a rail connection in 1863 when the Berlin-Stettiner Eisenbahn-Gesellschaft opened a railway from Angermünde with a connection from Berlin to Stralsund . The passenger and freight traffic was officially opened on 16 March. 1863 With the branch line to Stettin (today Szczecin ) opened at the same time , Pasewalk became a railway junction. The city of Pasewalk showed great interest in the construction of the railway and made an area of 1,721 square meters available free of charge.
In December 1866, the line from Stettin to Strasburg on the Mecklenburg border was extended, where a connection to the line from Bützow was made.
In 1880 the Berlin-Stettiner Eisenbahn-Gesellschaft and with it the lines around Pasewalk were part of the Prussian State Railways . From 1920 Pasewalk belonged to the Reichsbahndirektion Stettin of the Deutsche Reichsbahn .
In 1927 the tunnel to the platforms on the east side went into operation, in 1939 on the west side. A continuous tunnel between the two sides of the train station was never built, one must always through or around the reception building , run to get to the other station Part.
After the end of the war, Pasewalk became the seat of the Reichsbahndirektion for a short time, which included the lines of the former Reichsbahndirektion Stettin that remained on the German side. The head office was relocated to Greifswald as early as October 1945 .
The once important role in east-west traffic was interrupted by the border with Poland . Later the importance increased again especially in freight traffic. In 1957 four signal boxes were rebuilt in the station area. From 1975 to 1977 the Berlin – Pasewalk – Stralsund line was expanded to double-track again after the second track fell victim to reparation payments to the Soviet Union after 1945 .
To relieve the station, a connecting curve was built northwest of the station between the Charlottenhof station and the Belling junction , which enabled direct journeys from the direction of Neubrandenburg to Greifswald . A container terminal was to be built at the Charlottenhof branch station . A total of 1200 railway workers worked in the Pasewalk office.
On May 28, 1988, electrical operations from Pasewalk to Berlin began.
After the political change in the GDR , the importance of the station decreased rapidly, especially for goods traffic. Large parts of the track system have not been used since the 1990s.
At the end of 2008 the station was extensively renovated. The historic, listed platform roofing was retained.
Transport links
The station played and still plays an important role in long-distance and local transport . Long-distance trains from Berlin (and further south) to Stralsund and the Baltic Sea coast and from Hamburg to Stettin stopped here. The latter relation hardly plays a role after the end of the Second World War . In addition, there were local trains in the four main directions and on the Jatznick – Ueckermünde railway line branching off north of Pasewalk .
At the end of 2010, long-distance traffic was thinned out a little more to three daily train pairs, on weekends and during the season. After protests by the municipalities and the state government, the first scheduled ICE train connection on the Angermünde – Stralsund line was also started in March 2011. Today, Pasewalk is the stop for the Intercity Express trains from Stralsund (partly Binz ) to Berlin and on to Halle (Saale) , Erfurt , Frankfurt (Main) and Munich . On Sundays there are additional intercity trains to Cologne and Oldenburg (lines 32 and 56).
In regional traffic, the RE 3 regional express line runs from Stralsund via Berlin to Falkenberg / Elster every two hours. In the east-west direction, the RE 4 trains run every hour in the direction of Neubrandenburg and Bützow. The RE 4 runs alternately to Szczecin and Ueckermünde.

Locomotive shed Pomerania e. V.
The association Lokschuppen Pomerania e. V. tries to preserve the no longer needed systems of the station and depot . In the summer he runs a railway adventure center. In 2013, the locomotive shed won the venue of the year award for the Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania Festival, awarded by the Nordkurier .
Others
The Pasewalk train station went down in children's literary history through the poem Der Kater Karli Rasebalg (from the book The Railway Has Boots On ) - which was extremely popular in the GDR - who lives at the Pasewalk train station and from here the entire Mecklenburg Lake District as "Reichsbahn mouse controller" toured.
Pasewalk Ost train station
Pasewalk Ost station is located in the northeast of the city on the route to Szczecin . At times it developed into a small transport hub itself. This is where the Klockow – Pasewalk small railway began , which was initially built as a horse-drawn tram in 1893 and converted to steam operation in 1908. The line was in operation until 1961 for passenger and 1963 for freight. A railway line to Gumnitz branches off to the east of the station on the line to Ueckermünde . The route was primarily used for feeder traffic to the extensive facilities of the National People's Army in the Eggesin area .
