The Lębork – Bytów line is a no longer operated branch line in the Polish Pomeranian Voivodeship . It runs in a north-easterly direction and connects the two district towns of Lębork ( Lauenburg (Pomerania) ) and Bytów ( Bütow ).
history
In 1870, the Berlin-Stettiner Eisenbahn-Gesellschaft established a connection to the German rail network for Lauenburg with the Stargard – Danzig line . The Prussian State Railways then made in 1902 for a connection of the circuit areas Lauenburg (Pomerania) , Stolp and Bütow after just three years before a rail link from Lauenburg to Leba (Polish today: Łeba ) on the Baltic Sea was created and in 1905 then also a Railway line in the West Prussian Karthaus (Kartuzy ) was built.
Bütow was connected to the Stargard – Danzig line in Schlawe (Sławno) as early as 1884 by the Prussian State Railroad via a branch line that led via Alt Kolziglow (Kołczgyłowy) to Zollbrück (Korzybie). In 1901 the line from Bütow to the West Prussian Lippusch ( Lipusz ) to Berent ( Kościerzyna ) was built, and in 1909 the railway to Rummelsburg (Pomerania) (Miastko) followed.
The Lębork – Bytów railway was shut down in 1945 and partially dismantled. In 1947 the Polish State Railways (PKP) reopened the Lębork– Maszewo Lęborskie (Groß Massow) section for rail traffic and also restored the Maszewo Lęborskie– Cewice (Zewitz) section, but only for freight traffic. In Cewice, a siding was laid to the military airfield near Siemirowice (Schimmerwitz).
On July 25, 1979, passenger traffic was finally stopped, and in 2004 also goods traffic on the entire remaining route and resumed in 2013.
Route description
The 55 kilometer long railway line ran largely parallel to the former German-Polish border from 1920, which separated Pomerania from the now Polish West Prussia ( Polish Corridor ). It was also laid out parallel to the German Reichsstrasse 158 from Lauenburg (Pomerania) via Bütow to Berlin , on whose route the voivodship roads 214 and 212 run today .
In its last section, the railway line runs through today's Krajobrazowy Dolina Słupi Park ( Stolpetal Landscape Park ), which it crosses along the banks of the Jezioro Jasień ( Jassen Lake ).
