The Demmin – Tutow railway line is a now disused branch line in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania . The approx. 14 km long standard-gauge railway line, which ran parallel for a few kilometers next to the Demmin-Altentreptow narrow-gauge railway of Demminer Kleinbahnen Ost, connected the Tutow airfield to the railway network.

The route was opened in 1935. Stops were initially only in Demmin and Tutow. After the Second World War, the line was also used by public transport for some time, for which additional stops were set up in Eugenienberg , Siedenbrünzow , Heidekrug and near Kruckow . In the 1960s, passenger traffic was stopped again. The route remained in operation for freight traffic; in addition to the airfield, a substation in Siedenbrünzow was also served during GDR times. On June 1, 1996, the line was converted into a siding at Demmin station. Today it is completely abandoned.
