The Greifswald – Grimmen – Tribsees railway is a largely disused, single-track and non-electrified branch line in Western Pomerania . The railway operated by the Greifswald-Grimmener Railway Company was dismantled for reparation purposes after the Second World War and has not been rebuilt to this day.
history
The Eisenbahn-Gesellschaft Greifswald-Grimmen (GGE) opened the 48.4 km long, standard-gauge railway line on November 26, 1896 , which ran from Greifswald in a westerly direction via Grimmen to the Tribsees junction near the Mecklenburg border. In contrast to the numerous other "Lenz-Bahnen" in Pomerania, it was not a small railway .
The rail project was supported by the member of the Prussian House of Representatives for the constituency of Fritz von Hennigs . The founders of the company included the Prussian province of Pomerania , the districts of Greifswald and Grimmen , the cities of Greifswald and Tribsees as well as the railway construction company Lenz & Co. , in which individuals had participated in order to secure the financing of the project. This was also the operator until the end of the Second World War. Its parent company - the AG for Transport - held the majority of the shares until the expropriation and dismantling.
In 1935 the GGE transported 76,251 people and 123,467 tons of goods.
In the summer of 1945, the line was dismantled down to small remains. There was no reconstruction.
The remaining two-kilometer section from Grimmen to Grimmen Schützenplatz is still used today for freight transport (transport of building materials).
