The Eutin – Neustadt line was a 16-kilometer, non-electrified branch line that connected the cities of Eutin and Neustadt in Holstein .
geography
The route ran through the terminal moraine landscape of East Holstein . It connected the district town of Eutin with the port town of Neustadt on the Baltic Sea.
There were three stops on the way: Röbel , Bujendorf and Oevelgönne . Only Bujendorf had a massive station building. Röbel only had one simple stop , the same applies to the Oevelgönne stop , which was only established after the Second World War. All three intermediate stations were quite far away from the town center.
The kilometrage was carried out continuously from Kiel (km 0) via Eutin (km 47). Even today, the section from Neustadt Gbf (km 62) to Neustadt Pbf (km 63) is kilometers from Kiel.
The route was part of the east-west axis Neustadt - Neumünster - Büsum , which consisted of five routes.
history
The line was opened on May 31, 1866 as part of the Neumünster – Neustadt line. The operator was the Altona-Kieler Eisenbahn-Gesellschaft , which was nationalized in 1884.
In the 1970s, the passenger line was served by a pair of express trains on the Heide – Neumünster-Neustadt route and around six pairs of passenger trains. The express train only stopped in Bujendorf between Eutin and Neustadt. Its travel time was 19 minutes, while the passenger trains took around 22 minutes. The series 515 and 798 were mainly used as locomotives, but there were also locomotive-hauled trains.
Around 1976 there was a pair of express trains between Kiel and Puttgarden that traveled the route in summer. It stayed with this attempt. In 1980 TEEM trains on the Hamburg-Eidelstedt -Neumünster-Eutin-Neustadt-Puttgarden route ran the route as planned.
Finally, in October 1981, long-distance trains of the Vogelfluglinie were diverted over the route. On May 22, 1982, however, passenger traffic was stopped. Freight traffic followed on December 31, 1982 (according to other sources on December 30, 1983 or June 3, 1984).
The tracks were dismantled in 1984/85. Only in the urban area of Eutin did the track remain up to a tank loading facility of the local Bundeswehr barracks ; but it is no longer used.
