The Seebad Heringsdorf station is the central station in the Baltic Sea resort of Heringsdorf on Usedom and the seat of the Usedomer Bäderbahn .
It was built as the terminal station of the Ducherow – Heringsdorf – Wolgaster ferry, which initially ran only to Heringsdorf, with three platform tracks. The lake-side platform is extended past the station building so that it is suitable for longer passenger trains .
The Heringsdorf depot located here - once the smallest depot of the Deutsche Reichsbahn - is still used today by the Usedomer Bäderbahn.
history
Heringsdorf station was opened on July 1, 1894 as the end point of the Ducherow - Swinoujscie - Heringsdorf line. Due to the heavy traffic, the line was expanded to a double-track main line in 1908. In 1911, the extended single-track line from Heringsdorf via Zinnowitz to Wolgast (ferry) was inaugurated. The station, now known as Heringsdorf Seebad , was reached by express trains from Berlin until the Second World War .
After the cession of the eastern part of the island with Świnoujście to Poland and the dismantling of the southern section of the Ducherow – Świnoujście as a result of the war, Usedom had island rail traffic with Heringsdorf station as the operational center. The Ahlbeck – Heringsdorf section was dismantled onto one track.
With the takeover of rail operations by Usedomer Bäderbahn GmbH (UBB) , Heringsdorf station was fundamentally modernized between 1994 and 1997. The Usedom Railway has been connected to the mainland via the new Peenebrücke Wolgast since 1996, now at the other end of the island than before the war. Heringsdorf station became the destination station for individual long-distance trains again . Local trains, until 2017 of the Usedomer Bäderbahn , today the DB Regio Nordost , have been running to Świnoujście Centrum since 2008 after the construction of the Ahlbeck – Swinoujscie section .
Some of the high-rise buildings of the station are now listed .
Heringsdorf depot
When the line opened in 1894, a small locomotive station was set up. In addition to a locomotive shed , treatment systems and a turntable were available. At the end of the Second World War , the Karnin lift bridge was blown up, and the Usedom rail network was thus cut off from the mainland. The Deutsche Reichsbahn then converted the Heringsdorf locomotive station on August 2, 1945, initially into an independent service and on January 1, 1946 into a depot . The Zinnowitz locomotive station , which opened in 1911, was assigned to the Heringsdorf depot as an operational site . In terms of the number of vehicles stationed here and the size of the facilities, the depot has always been the smallest depot of the Deutsche Reichsbahn.
The Zinnowitz deployment site was closed in 1991. On September 1, 1992, the depot was dissolved as an independent agency and placed under the Stralsund depot . The Usedomer Bäderbahn took over the former facilities in 1994, and in 2001 the previous locomotive shed was demolished and replaced by a new building with three tracks.
Vehicle use
After the Second World War, steam locomotives of the 56.2–8 series were initially stationed in Heringsdorf , and from 1948 on, several 91 series locomotives were also used. Solitary one was the locomotive of the series 55.7-14 represented in Heringsdorf. In 1965/66, the 64 series was briefly used in the depot , which in turn was replaced by the 86 series in 1966 . These were the only ones in the entire series to receive small smoke deflectors , and a vehicle from the 56.2–8 series had already carried smoke deflectors here. The traction change took place in the 1970s when the class 110 diesel locomotives replaced the steam locomotives in 1974 . This series shaped the rail traffic on Usedom until 1993, an average of nine vehicles were stationed here. The 106 series , which mainly hauled freight trains , was also used from 1974 to 1980 . Class 102 shunting locomotives were also used on Usedom in the 1970s .
In May 1993, the class 771/772 railcars again came to Usedom, from 1953 to 1962 various railcars ( VT 135 033 and 039 and VT 135 063 ) were primarily used on the Zinnowitz – Peenemünde line. The class 110 locomotives were then handed over, only two vehicles remained on Usedom as a reserve. Heringsdorf has only been using the 646.1 series since 2001 . A battery tow vehicle is available for internal movement . Until the summer of 2016, a pair of trains ran seasonally on the IC 32 Cologne Hbf - Ostseebad Binz with through coaches to Heringsdorf ( UrlaubsExpress Mecklenburg-Vorpommern ). This train route was discontinued for the 2017 timetable.
