The Paulinenaue station is a through station in the Paulinenaue community in the Havelland district . It was put into operation on the Berlin-Hamburg railway in 1846. Over the next few decades, the place developed into a hub . In 1880 a line from Paulinenaue to Neuruppin was opened and in 1901 a narrow-gauge line of the Rathenow-Senzke-Nauen district railway was added. In 1924 operations on this route were stopped again. In 1970 passenger traffic to Neuruppin was discontinued and the line was closed in the mid-1990s. The station building is a listed building.
location
Paulinenaue is located at route km 49 of the Berlin-Hamburg Railway and was the starting point for the routes to Neuruppin and Senzke. The train station is in the center of town. It borders on Ruppiner Strasse and Bahnhofstrasse . To the northwest is the nearest train station Friesack , which is a good 13 kilometers away, to the south-east this is the Nauen train station, which is about 15 kilometers away . The station belongs to the area of the transport association Berlin-Brandenburg .
history
Around 1845 Paulinenaue was an estate with about ten houses, which was significant due to Friedrich Wilhelm von Knoblauch's cattle breeding . This was primarily concerned with gaining access to the Berlin-Hamburg railway. Knoblauch therefore agreed to sell part of his property if he was given a break in his place. Since other landowners initially spoke out against running the route through their areas, the railway company of the Berlin-Hamburg Bahn bought 28 acres and 125 square rods from Knoblauch for 9961 thalers . Initially, 23 railway employees were employed in Paulinenaue. These included a restaurateur, a railway foreman, a railway attendant and switchman, a weigher, a dieter and a postal administrator.
In 1883/84 the line to Neuruppin was opened, the starting point of which was Paulinenaue. The place thus became a connecting station . At the same time, the reception building was also expanded. From 1901 another railway line ended in Paulinenaue, namely a branch line of the Rathenow-Senzke-Nauen district railway . As early as 1924, operations from Senzke to Paulinenaue were stopped again.
Towards the end of the Second World War in April 1945, the station was initially closed. But on July 6, 1945 operations were resumed.
Since 1970 there have been no more passenger trains on the route via Fehrbellin to Neuruppin. Thus, the station finally lost its function as a transfer station.
From July 14 to September 28, 2003 and from March 1 to June 13, 2009, Paulinenaue was not served due to construction work.

Platforms and tracks
The Paulinenaue station has three tracks, but only two platforms. The express trains pass through the station on the track in the middle and on the southern one. The latter is also the platform track where regional trains stop in the direction of Nauen. The regional trains in the direction of Hamburg stop on the northern track. This is where the disused line to Neuruppin began. All other tracks were dismantled before 2000.
Reception building
The station building only went into operation one year after the railway line opened. The builder was Raetzel from Friesack , who submitted the building plans on May 20, 1847. It was expanded in 1883/84.
It was originally one of the simple reception buildings with a saddle roof , two storeys with four window axes to the tracks and three axes downwards. Its gable side faces the platform. After the extension in the 1880s, the building was given elongated, asymmetrical structures consisting of several volumes.
The main entrance led to the middle wing. On one side were the waiting and restoration rooms, which were significantly enlarged by the extension, while on the other side, including the old building, only service rooms were housed. Drinks and food were also sold in the waiting room.
Today the building is empty and is in poor structural condition. It is a listed building and belongs to the Paulinenaue community as of January 2016. The Paulinenauer Kulturverein has been campaigning for the preservation of the reception building for several years . Various possible uses have already been considered.
traffic
In the early years, Paulinenaue was served by three passenger trains and one freight train in each direction per day. In autumn 2005 there were about 240 passengers getting on and off.
The station is currently served every hour by the regional express line RE 2, which is operated by the East German Railway . This runs between Cottbus and Wittenberge . Every 120 minutes the trains continue to Wismar .
