The Pritzerbe train station is one of two stops in the town of Havelsee and is located in the Pritzerbe district . It serves as a passing point for oncoming trains on the single-track Brandenburg – Rathenow line, the former Brandenburg city railway . The station with the old reception building, a goods shed and toilet house is now a listed building .
history
Pritzerbe was connected to the German railway network in 1904. The Brandenburgische Städtebahn AG, founded in 1901, opened traffic on the Treuenbrietzen - Belzig - Brandenburg - Rathenow - Neustadt (Dosse) route via Pritzerbe on March 25, 1904 . For the first ten years, the Vereinigte Eisenbahnbau- und Betriebs-Gesellschaft ran operations until March 31, 1914, which the AG management board then took over. After the decline of rail transport at the end of the war, operational management was transferred to the Brandenburg State Transport Authority in 1920 .
The single-track branch line had a total length of 125.6 kilometers and connected the four main lines that go from Berlin in the direction of Hamburg, Stendal, Magdeburg and Dessau. It was designed in the 19th century as part of a railway ring that encircles the greater Berlin area for strategic military reasons and was soon one of the most important German private railways.
From 1932 the railway only procured multiple units for passenger transport.
When World War II ended, 95 percent of the shares were publicly owned; about one third each went to the Prussian state, the province of Brandenburg and the municipal bodies (the districts of Ruppin, Westhavelland and Zauch-Belzig as well as the cities of Brandenburg and Rathenow). Nonetheless, the AG was converted into a state-owned company and from April 1, 1949 it was managed by the Deutsche Reichsbahn .
Local rail passenger transport was discontinued on October 1, 1962 on the section between Treuenbrietzen and Belzig. On November 30, 2003 the section between Rathenow Nord and Neustadt (Dosse) and on December 13, 2003 the section between Belzig and Brandenburg was put out of service. The Rathenow – Rathenow Nord section was given up on December 14, 2005, so passenger trains only run on the reconstructed Brandenburg – Rathenow section, on which the Pritzerbe is located. The Brandenburg – Rathenow Nord section was renovated between 2003 and 2005 for 55 million euros and put back into operation on June 27, 2005.
In September 2007 Ostseeland Verkehr GmbH won the procedure for expressing interests initiated by VBB to operate the Rathenow – Brandenburg (Havel) section (RB51). From December 2007 to December 2011 it operated the route as MR51 with Desiro vehicles . Since December 2011, after a renewed invitation to tender, the East German Railway has been running the line, initially as OE51, with brand-new Stadler GTW . With the timetable change on December 9, 2012, the line designation was standardized to RB51, the line will continue to be operated by the East German Railway.
Former reception building
The old station building is on the west side of the train station and is now used as a residential building on the upper floor. It is a listed building, along with a goods shed and a toilet. The lower floor is unused, the counter or waiting hall is closed and boarded up. Goods sheds and toilets are no longer used.
The station building was made of red bricks and is not plastered. It is two-storey and has a central projection . All windows on both floors were built with segmental arches . Over the windows and lintels there are small, segment-arched roofs . There is a cornice under the windows on the lower floor, between the two floors, at the level of the upper edge of the windows on the upper floor and above these windows . The central risalit has a gable with a gable cornice and profiled consoles over the corners directly under the roof. There are also two small arched windows with a canopy that merges into a cornice. A rose window was built above this . In addition to these details, an eaves cornice and similar corner consoles, as already described for the risalits, are to be listed for the east facade.
In the southern outer wall, segment-arched panels with roofs were embedded. There are no windows here. The cornice on the east side of the building runs over this wall. Below the gable is the same gable cornice as already below the gable of the central risalite. A similar rosette can also be found here. As an extension, there is an unadorned former shed in gray plaster.
On the north wall, only the gable cornice, the consoles reaching around the corners and a cornice are noticeable. Structurally, the old goods shed, which is also under monument protection, is attached. This has a framework, between which also red clinker was bricked. The west facade of the station building facing away from the tracks is designed like the east facade. Only the entrance differs slightly from that on the east side. In the corner between the main building and the goods shed, a former toilet block with a pent roof is bricked, which is the third part of the monument.
Today's infrastructure
During the renovation of the railway line from 2003 to 2005, the Pritzerbe station was designed as an alternative station for oncoming trains. For this purpose, in contrast to other former train stations on the route, which today are only stops , two tracks and switches were laid. Other pre-existing tracks for handling goods were dismantled. The two tracks in the station each have a modern, high platform that allows boarding and alighting at the level of the running railcars. There is a glass shelter on both platforms. Access to the old station building with the waiting hall and ticket issuance is blocked. The eastern platform can no longer be reached via the tracks, but only from the level crossing on Marzahner Chaussee, which runs south of the station.
