The Kaliningrad – Zelenogradsk – Primorsk railway runs from the city of Kaliningrad (Koenigsberg) , the center of the Russian Oblast Kaliningrad , in a semicircle around northern Samland to the small town of Primorsk (Fischhausen) on the Frischer Haff .

The section from Svetlogorsk (Rauschen) to Primorsk was closed after the collapse of the Soviet Union .

history

The section from Königsberg to Cranz was built in 1885 by the Königsberg-Cranzer railway company . In 1900 and 1901 it was extended by this company to Neukuhren, where a connection was made to the Samland Railway, which was built to Warnicken at the same time.

From July 8, 1895, a two-kilometer branch line ran from Cranz to Cranzbeek on the Curonian Lagoon , where there was a ship connection to the Cranz – Memel line . This connection was abandoned after 1945.

The section from Groß Dirschkeim to Palmnicken was built in 1936 by the Deutsche Reichsbahn and the section from Palmnicken to Fischhausen as early as 1884 by the East Prussian Southern Railway Company .

The connection on the Samland Railway south of Neukuhren was interrupted in 1945 under German responsibility.

This section was initially not restored by the Russians. So Svetlogorsk and the towns beyond could only be reached via the ring route until the 1960s. The partial dismantling of the Samland railway line was used to build the section from Warnicken to Groß Dirschkeim (today Donskoje ), which was supposed to enable German refugees to travel to Pillau .

Railway tracks at Jantarny (Palmnicken) in 2009

The section from Kaliningrad to Svetlogorsk was electrified in the early 1970s. On the section from Svetlogorsk to Primorsk, before it was shut down, diesel was used as a shuttle service.
