The fish Hausener circular path AG was founded 1899th Main shareholders were the Prussian State , the province of East Prussia , the county Fischhausen and - in the early days - the company GmbH Lenz & Co .
On October 1, 1900, the company opened its full- gauge , 18.6 km long small railway line , which branched off from the Königsberg - Neukuhren line of Samlandbahn AG at Marienhof station and led across the Samland to Gaffken . From here she used the route from Palmnicken to the district town of Fischhausen for another five kilometers . Like the Königsberg - Fischhausen - Pillau line, it was built by the East Prussian Southern Railway Company .
Passenger traffic on the circular path was moderate; even in the 1939 summer timetable, only two daily train pairs were planned. An operating group had been agreed with Samlandbahn AG, which was looked after by the Ostdeutsche Eisenbahn-Gesellschaft . With the invasion of the Red Army in the beginning of 1945 the operation of this small railway ended.
After 1945 the route was canceled. The former catchment area of the Kleinbahn is almost uninhabited today.
