The Lübeck – Lüneburg railway is a 77-kilometer, single-track, non-electrified railway connection from Lübeck on the Baltic Sea coast in Schleswig-Holstein to Lüneburg in Lower Saxony . The route was opened in sections between 1851 and 1864.
history
The Lübeck – Büchen connection was opened on October 16, 1851 after negotiations failed to establish a direct connection between Lübeck and Hamburg across Danish territory. The day before, the Berlin-Hamburger Eisenbahn-Aktiengesellschaft opened the section from Büchen to Lauenburg an der Elbe, where from 1864 a connection with the Hanoverian railway network was established via the Lauenburg – Hohnstorf trajectory . Since the Hamburg Elbe bridges were not available until 1872, they were part of the shortest rail connection Hamburg - Hanover .
It was not until 1865 that the Lübeck-Büchener Eisenbahngesellschaft (LBE), which kept its name, was able to put the direct connection Lübeck – Oldesloe – Hamburg into operation.
In 1878 an Elbe bridge was built as a pure railway bridge near Lauenburg .
The Lauenburg privilege was valid until 1937 , which means that Lauenburg travelers who wanted to travel to a station on the Berlin-Hamburg railway did not have to pay for the Lauenburg – Büchen section.
Long-distance traffic took place on the Lübeck – Lüneburg railway line until the first half of the 1990s , as some Vogelfluglinie trains used this route to bypass the Hamburg railway junction . Among other things, the Fehmarn Express, which is mainly used by Baltic Sea holidaymakers, ran on this route with the Cologne – Burg auf Fehmarn route . In addition, there were several Eilzugpaare the connection Flensburg -Lüneburg, including a connection Goslar -Flensburg and coaches connecting Kreiensen - Kiel .
business
The track is in the passenger with regional trains of the DB Regio in every hour sail that here since December 2009. railcars of series 648 are used. The course book number is 145. The section Ratzeburg – Lüneburg belongs to the tariff area of the Hamburger Verkehrsverbund , the section Lübeck – Lauenburg to the Schleswig-Holstein tariff . Freight traffic is only sparse.
On May 26, 2008, the Lübeck Airport stop went into operation. At the same time, the Lübeck electronic signal box was put into operation. It replaced six old signal boxes in Pogeez , Ratzeburg, Mölln and Güster . In addition, another platform was built in Ratzeburg to enable train crossings there again. Train crossings are now possible in Pogeez, Ratzeburg, Mölln, Büchen, Dalldorf, Lauenburg and Adendorf.
In order to enable travelers from Lüneburg to change trains in the direction of Schwerin in Büchen , the trains usually stop there for up to 10 minutes. This results in a slight increase in the total travel time.
A new stop in the Lübeck University District northwest of Lübeck Airport was opened in December 2013.
Long-distance transport
Due to the three-track expansion of the Hamburg – Hanover railway line between Stelle and Lüneburg , long-distance traffic between Lüneburg and Büchen again ran in 2011 . A car train from Hamburg to Munich was diverted three times a week and a EuroNight from Vienna to Hamburg five times a week. Two DB class 218 locomotives from Autozug Sylt pulled the trains between Lüneburg and Hamburg-Altona station . The electric locomotive ran with no drive behind the diesel locomotives.

future
In the long term, traffic between Lübeck and Ratzeburg is to be increased to every half hour during rush hour. An expansion of the route is currently (2016) not planned: The investigations for the Federal Transport Infrastructure Plan 2030 have shown that despite the relief of the Lübeck – Hamburg railway line by the SGV, an expansion is not economical due to the high investment costs . As a result, the project could not be included in the FTIP 2030. An optimized variant was included in the potential demand.
Adendorf station is to be expanded again to accommodate passenger trains. This was agreed on March 28, 2019 between the state of Lower Saxony, LNVG and DB.
