history

Preference share for 1000 marks of the Stralsund – Tribsees railway company from June 2, 1900

The Stralsund – Tribsees (STE) railway company was founded in 1899. The Kingdom of Prussia, the province of Pomerania, the district of Franzburg, the cities of Stralsund and Richtenberg as well as the railway construction company Lenz & Co. , which also took over the management, were involved. In contrast to numerous other private railways in Pomerania, it was licensed as a secondary railway; the provincial association had warned against admission as a small railway because the line was considered to be of supraregional importance (Preuss).

From December 23, 1900, the route led from Stralsund in a south-westerly direction to the district town of Franzburg and was extended to Tribsees on June 1, 1901 - now with a total length of 33.7 kilometers. The tracks had the standard gauge of 1435 millimeters. In 1935 97,430 people and 48,587 tons of goods were transported. In terms of the number of people transported, it was in third place in Western Pomerania .

In Tribsees, a community station of the Grand Ducal Mecklenburg Friedrich-Franz Railway (State Railway), the Railway Company Stralsund-Tribsees, the Railway Company Greifswald-Grimmen and the Franzburger Südbahn was built .

The main shareholder was the AG for Transport until the expropriation . In August 1945 the line was dismantled for reparations payments to the Soviet Union . There was no reconstruction. Only a short distance in Stralsund remained in operation as a siding.
