history
The connection was primarily planned as a strategic route to bypass Hamburg . It was opened on August 1, 1887 by the Prussian State Railways .
From December 1907 to March 1952 there was a connection in Trittau to passenger trains of the Südstormarnsche Kreisbahn in the direction of Hamburg.
In 1944 there were three pairs of passenger trains a day, in 1963 seven pairs of passenger trains ran on weekdays and five pairs of passenger trains on Sundays. Most recently, only Uerdingen rail buses were used in passenger transport .
On May 29, 1976 the last passenger trains ran between Schwarzenbek and Bad Oldesloe, at the same time freight traffic between Mollhagen and Dwerkathen (today: Dwerkaten) was stopped, and on January 1, 1977 also between Dwerkathen and Trittau; the line between Mollhagen and Trittau was dismantled. On January 31, 1981, freight traffic between Trittau and Möhnsen ended . On August 31, 1984, freight traffic was also discontinued on the remaining sections and the line was subsequently shut down and completely dismantled. There is now a cycle path on the Trittau – Bad Oldesloe section .
