The Proschim-Haidemühl-Spremberg railway was a 13.71-kilometer branch line in Brandenburg , which from 1907 to 1947 connected the Westbahnhof of the city of Spremberg with the Proschim - Haidemühl station on the Neupetershain-Hoyerswerda railway line and is now completely dismantled.
history
The line was opened on October 1, 1907. In 1908 a track connection to the Spremberg Stadtbahn was created in Spremberg West . The route served the places Jessen (Jaseń) / Gosda (Gózdź) and Roitz (Rajc).
In the summer of 1936 there were five pairs of trains in each direction , in the summer of 1939 there were six and in 1944/45 there were again five. The average travel time was around 22 minutes. Only second and third class trains ran . The main importance was in freight traffic, in order to connect the (cloth) factories, which are mainly located in the Spremberger Neustadt west of the Spree, to the railway network. The light rail to the main / east station was quite steep and therefore only suitable for freight traffic to a limited extent.
On September 30, 1947 the cessation of traffic followed. Most of the route lay in today's Welzow-Süd opencast mine and is therefore no longer recognizable; the settlements along the way were excavated. Spremberg West station was north of Westbahnstrasse.
