Cottbus – Frankfurt (Oder) railway line
_Karte.png)
The Cottbus – Frankfurt (Oder) railway was a single-track main line in Brandenburg , which was originally built and operated by the Cottbus-Großenhainer Eisenbahn-Gesellschaft and directly connected the two cities. It runs from Cottbus via Peitz to Frankfurt (Oder) . Only the section between Grunow and Frankfurt and a short section near Cottbus are still in operation . For today's connection between Cottbus and Frankfurt, the route via Guben and from there via the former Lower Silesian-Märkische Railway is used.

As early as 1840, plans included connecting the area around the town of Müllrose to the railway. In 1843 August Crelle presented a draft for a railway line from Berlin to Breslau , which was to branch off the Lower Silesian-Märkische Railway in Briesen . However, this connection was built via Frankfurt (Oder). Later plans examined a route between Frankfurt and Leipzig . After the Cottbus-Großenhainer Eisenbahn-Gesellschaft opened a line between these two places in 1870 , it planned an extension to Frankfurt. Original plans included a route via Friedland and Beeskow . Finally, a decision was made about a route a little further east.
The line was opened to traffic on December 31, 1876. Intermediate stations arose in Peitz , Jamlitz (initially named after the neighboring town of Lieberose ), Weichensdorf , Grunow and Müllrose . The railway initially acted as a long-distance transport connection between the Saxon capital Dresden , Cottbus and Frankfurt (Oder) as well as with the cities east of the Oder beyond that .
Since the Halle-Sorau-Guben Railway had already built the connection from Leipzig and Halle to Cottbus and on to Guben and Sorau in 1871 and '72 , there was also a connection to the rail connection from Berlin to Breslau and Frankfurt (Oder). The express and express train traffic between Cottbus and Frankfurt was therefore hardly run on this route after 1945, but took the somewhat longer and better-developed route via Guben and Eisenhüttenstadt , as it does today , to connect these two important places. Some local transport connections remained on the route via Grunow.
The line thus remained in its single-track and non-electrified condition. Due to insufficient utilization of the connection, Deutsche Bahn suspended traffic between Grunow and Peitz on June 1, 1996. For a few years, railcars still commuted between Cottbus and Peitz every hour until this traffic was also discontinued on May 30, 2000. Freight traffic ended on July 1, 1996 between Grunow and Jamlitz and on November 5, 2000 between Peitz and Jamlitz. In August 2002 the section between Cottbus and Willmersdorf was reactivated because the Cottbus – Guben railway had to give way to the Cottbus-Nord opencast mine in this area . As far as Willmersdorf, the laid route runs alongside the old route in the direction of Peitz. This also involved the construction of several new stops.
By order of August 12, 2014, the Federal Railway Authority published the reference to the application by DB Netz AG to exempt the route from railway operations (de-dedication) from km 93.935 to km 119.150. This affects 138 parcels in Peitz, Turnow-Preilack, Jamlitz, Lieberose and Friedland.
