Werneuchen is a train station in the town of the same name in the Brandenburg district of Barnim . The station is on the Wriezener Bahn and has been included in the Berlin suburban tariff since 1938. Since December 2006, the operating point has also been the terminus for trains coming from Berlin .

Location and structure

The station is located in route kilometer  28.040 of the VzG route 6528 ( Berlin Wriezener Bf  - Werneuchen - Wriezen ) at an altitude of 77.97 meters above sea ​​level . The line is classified as a branch line in the Werneuchen area . Up to and including Werneuchen it belongs to the regional network Ostbrandenburg of the DB Netz , behind the eastern border of the station the RegioInfra is responsible. This section has been without traffic since December 2006.

From the reception building of the tracks are considered arranged as follows: 7-3-1-2-4. In the past, the tracks were numbered differently: 7–1–2–3–4.

The station boundaries are at the entry signals A and H, track 1 (old 2) is the continuous main track. Track 2 (old 3) and 4 are also main tracks, all three have exit signals on both sides . There are also side tracks 3 (old 1) and 7. The latter is in front of the station building to the west. The station has three platforms, a house platform and two intermediate platforms. Passenger trains only use the intermediate platform on track 1, the system is 206 meters long with a platform height of 26 centimeters.

Within the station confines one goes siding to a yard of Berger Bau from. Another siding was at the east end of platform 3. There are also three level crossings in the station. The crossings in km 27.660 and km 28.836 ( B 158 ) are secured with half barriers, the crossover in km 28.330 is secured with flashing lights.

The signaling equipment is monitored by the ESTW-A Werneuchen, operation is carried out by the dispatcher Beeskow.

history

The station in Werneuchen was built with the construction of the Wriezener Bahn at the end of the 19th century. The first plans for a railway line from Berlin to Neumark came up in the 1860s and were shelved in the 1870s. The Königliche Eisenbahn-Direction (KED) Berlin began in 1887 with the preparatory work for the branch line from the Lichtenberg-Friedrichsfelde station via Werneuchen to Wriezen , the state granted the legal approval for construction on April 8, 1889. After eliminating various disagreements regarding the route near Berlin the construction of the line began in the spring of 1897, the responsibility now lay with the KED Stettin . The city of Werneuchen supported the building project with 25,000  marks and provided land worth around 26,700 marks.

The first section from Lichtenberg-Friedrichsfelde to Werneuchen went into operation on May 1, 1898. Among the guests of honor that Werneuchen's mayor Lamprecht received were the district administrators of the Niederbarnim and Oberbarnim , Treskow and Oppen districts , the presidents of the KED Berlin and Stettin Kranold and Heinsius, the regional president of Frankfurt , Puttkamer and the councilor and later Chancellor Bethmann Hollweg . The opening of the second section to Wriezen should initially follow on October 1st of the same year. Since not enough workers were available, commissioning was delayed until October 15, 1898. The line from Berlin up to and including Werneuchen became the responsibility of KED Berlin when it was commissioned; after Werneuchen, KED Stettin was still responsible.

The station was equipped with three platform tracks, a loading track and a two-tier locomotive shed - added in 1899 - for suburban trains to Berlin. The shed tracks 5 and 6 were located north of the platforms and led directly to the siding track 4, which was connected to the other tracks at the east end. Since mostly tank locomotives were used in suburban traffic between Berlin and Werneuchen , there was no need for a turntable . Coal bunkers , a water crane and an overnight room for the locomotive staff completed the facility. Loading track 7 was south of the reception building, and another short stub track was located immediately north of the reception building. The station also had an overhead crane and a weighbridge . There was also a train station restaurant . The reception building itself was a two-story brick building with two waiting rooms and two service rooms, a toilet and an attached tool shed. Service apartments as well as separate houses with outbuildings for the station supervisors and railway masters completed the ensemble.

The city of Werneuchen hoped the new route would give a boost to growth and tried to lure the Berlin population into its surroundings. In the vicinity of the railway, she parceled out the area and established the colonies Rudolfshöhe and Amselhain. The Prussian State Railways followed the development by expanding the timetable accordingly. Of the twelve trains that came daily from Berlin, half ended in Werneuchen. Despite various petitions, however, KED Berlin did not feel compelled to introduce the local tariff to Werneuchen, as the number of passengers on the route was too low. The introduction of the suburban tariff would also have required the expansion of the line to a double-track main line , the reconstruction of the stations and the removal of the crossovers on the same rails.

During the First World War , the city of Werneuchen and the Greater Berlin Association tried again to introduce the suburban tariff at KED Berlin. This was preceded by almost doubling the number of journeys from 777,000 in 1912 to around 1.5 million in 1917. Government councilor Erich Giese , commissioned by the KED with the investigation, led this increase primarily to the circumstances of the war - hamster journeys , employment of the rural population in Berlin Defense industry and military traffic  - back. A tariff change was therefore omitted.

In the 1920s, the transport association of the Reichsbahnlinie Berlin – Werneuchen was founded to emphasize the demands for the introduction of the suburban tariff. The mayor of Werneuchen, Lehmann, chaired the meeting. The Rbd Berlin rejected the concerns several times. From 1936 the construction of an air base began , for which a siding was laid east of the station . To increase capacity, especially at the crossing of military trains, a track connection was also built between tracks 3 and 4 at the eastern head of the station. With the completion of the eyrie, Werneuchen was a garrison town . The military presence was probably also decisive for the introduction of the suburban tariff on May 15, 1938. The plans to expand Berlin to become the world capital Germania shortly afterwards envisaged the expansion of the line for the electric S-Bahn service to Werneuchen. In the 1930s, the locomotive shed was used to accommodate a small locomotive .

During the Second World War , rail traffic continued until April 16, 1945 at the latest. The approaching Red Army led to the escape of the Reichsbahner from Wriezen. Behind the last train, a military train loaded with explosives , railway pioneers destroyed the track to Werneuchen with a rail wolf . On April 20, the Soviet troops reached the city, which then launched air raids on Berlin.

From November 24, 1945, the first trains commuted again between Berlin-Lichtenberg and Werneuchen. The reopening of the line to Wriezen was still a long time coming due to the extensive destruction. From May 1947, individual trains ran again via Werneuchen to Tiefensee, and from August 18, 1947, the line to Wriezen was completely open again. With the border shift after the end of the war, the areas of responsibility also changed. Since Stettin (Szczecin) was now in the People's Republic of Poland , the management temporarily relocated to Pasewalk and from October 1945 worked from Greifswald . From April 1, 1955, the responsibility for the section beyond Werneuchen changed from the Greifswald district to the Berlin district.

After the Second World War, track 6 was no longer used. Between 1954 and 1967, the Deutsche Reichsbahn had the shed demolished. Track 5 served as a siding. During the same period, another siding immediately west of the level crossing on trunk road 158 went into operation. The track led directly into the protective switch of the airport connection and was provided with a track block at the west end . The loading route was enlarged in the 1970s .

Werneuchen has been the terminus for passenger trains from Berlin since December 2006, after the section from Tiefensee to Wriezen was abandoned in May 1998. The Mittenwald railway real estate company acquired the station building.

With federal and state funds, a modernization including barrier-free expansion of the station is planned over the next few years .

Control and safety technology

The station was equipped with entry signals from the start . The exact number of signal boxes and barrier posts from the opening time is not available; the level crossing on the Chaussee Berlin - Freienwalde (B 158) was post-secured. The points were set in place. In 1926 a mechanical signal box of the VES unit type went into operation.

In 1954 the station had three signal boxes and a barrier post. Signal box WB 1 was at the level of entry point 1 from the direction of Berlin. Signal box who was accommodated in the reception building. Signal box WB 2 was at the level of the second level crossing. The post WB 10 secured the transition to the F 158. By 1967 at the latest, the Deutsche Reichsbahn changed the designation of the signal boxes, the offices were now designated - from west to east - with W1, B2, W3 and WP4. The responsible dispatcher was on duty in the station building, while the other two signal boxes were exclusively point- keepers on duty. The main signals were form signals according to the H / V signal system , but instead of advance signals , the entry signals were announced with cross signs .

In the 1980s, the Reichsbahn had the existing signal boxes built using a GS II DR relay signal box . The shape signals gave way to light signals according to the HI signal system . The mechanical signal boxes were demolished after it was put into operation. The relay interlocking went out of service in July 2018 and was replaced by an electronic interlocking . The operator station of the dispatcher is in CBI Beeskow .

passenger traffic

From May 1, 1898, Werneuchen was served by five daily pairs of trains that connected the station with Lichtenberg-Friedrichsfelde, one train came directly from the Schlesisches Bahnhof in Berlin . With the opening of the section to Wriezen, four pairs of trains were extended up to there, three of which in turn had connections in the direction of Königsberg (Neum) . From 1903, the trains began on the Wriezen platform of the Silesian station. By 1907, the Prussian State Railroad expanded the service to twelve pairs of trains, half of which ended in Werneuchen. From 1909, individual trains ran via Werneuchen to Tiefensee in the summer months and on weekends . By the summer schedule of 1914, the offer had grown to 16 pairs of trains, about two thirds of which ended in Werneuchen.

The timetable remained almost the same until the introduction of the suburban tariff. The winter timetable 1932/33 indicated 19 pairs of trains between Berlin and Werneuchen, eleven of which ended in Werneuchen, one pair of trains ended daily in Tiefensee. Two more pairs of trains were also extended from Werneuchen to Tiefensee on weekends. Three pairs of trains went from Werneuchen to Wriezen, four more to Königsberg (Neum). Among these was a pair of express trains that passed between Lichtenberg-Friedrichsfelde and Werneuchen without stopping. With the introduction of suburban traffic, the offer to and from Berlin was reduced to an almost hourly service, with 22 pairs of trains commuting between the two cities. The offer between Werneuchen and Tiefensee also benefited from the measure and was concentrated especially in the excursion traffic.

Between April 1945 and November 24, 1945 the train traffic stopped completely. After operations resumed, four pairs of trains initially commuted between Berlin-Lichtenberg and Werneuchen, and a year later there were six pairs of trains. From May 1947 the trains ran again via Berlin-Lichtenberg to Wriezener Bahnhof, in the opposite direction the Reichsbahn extended two pairs of trains a day via Werneuchen to Tiefensee. After the section to Wriezen was reopened, two pairs of trains commuted between Werneuchen and Wriezen. From December 1949, the Berlin trains began again at Berlin-Lichtenberg station. By 1951, the offer increased to twelve pairs of trains in the direction of Berlin and four pairs of trains in the direction of Wriezen. From 1956, the Wriezener trains were tied through in Werneuchen and supplemented by a pair of trains. Little had changed in this timetable structure until 1991. Only the Berlin terminus of the trains gradually shifted from Berlin-Lichtenberg to Ahrensfelde station between 1976 and 1982 . The reason for this was the start of the electric S-Bahn service on the Wriezener Bahn.

With the 1992 summer timetable, the Deutsche Reichsbahn introduced the hourly service between Ahrensfelde and Werneuchen on the route. Six pairs of trains ran every two hours via Werneuchen to Wriezen. In order to increase the capacity utilization of the Wriezener Bahn, the Reichsbahn and, from 1994, the Deutsche Bahn further expanded the offer. Since May 1993 some trains ended, and since May 1994 all trains ended again in Berlin-Lichtenberg. In the opposite direction, there were now direct connections from Werneuchen via Wriezen to Bad Freienwalde (Oder) and Angermünde . With the summer timetable of May 1997, Deutsche Bahn interrupted the direct connections to Wriezen. The section from Tiefensee to Wriezen has been interrupted since May 1998.

In December 2004, after winning the tender, the Ostdeutsche Eisenbahn (ODEG) took over operations on the line from DB Regio . Since December 9, 2006, all regional trains have ended in Werneuchen. On December 14, 2014 the Niederbarnimer Eisenbahn took over the management of the ODEG.

Freight transport

On the route, also in Werneuchen, the shipping of agricultural goods such as cattle and milk dominated , with two pairs of local goods trains running on the route every day . In the 1960s, the shipment of grain, fertilizers and building materials as well as kerosene for the Werneuchen airfield dominated . Around this time, Werneuchen became the hub station for the surrounding stations, which were served by transfer trains. Most of the neighboring stations were closed as freight tariff points during this time .

In the 1970s, the station had a daily turnover of 25-30 carloads. In addition to the airport, customers also included the Werneuchen agrochemical center . Until 1991, two pairs of local goods trains still ran via Werneuchen, and the station has been served by handover since then. It was operated first from Wriezen , later from Berlin-Schöneweide and since around 1998 from Berlin Northeast . After the closure of the agrochemical center and the withdrawal of the Soviet troops, mainly building materials are brought in via the former airport connection.
