The Treuenbrietzen – Neustadt (Dosse) line is a branch line in Brandenburg that was originally built and operated by the private Brandenburgische Städtebahn AG . The name Brandenburgische Städtebahn is often used for the route itself. The route, which is only operated on short sections today, leads from Treuenbrietzen via Belzig and Brandenburg to Neustadt (Dosse) .
The single-track branch line has a total length of 125.6 kilometers and connected the four main lines, which start from Berlin in the direction of Hamburg, Stendal, Magdeburg and Dessau. It was designed in the 19th century as part of a large-scale railway ring around Berlin for strategic military reasons and soon became one of the most important German private railways.
history
The Brandenburgische Städtebahn AG, founded in 1901, opened the line on March 25, 1904. The United Railway Construction and Operating Company ran the company until March 31, 1914 , then the Brandenburgische Städtebahn itself. After the First World War, operations began in 1920 to the Brandenburg State Traffic Office .
From 1932 the railway only procured multiple units for passenger transport.
When World War II ended, 95 percent of the shares were publicly owned; about one third each went to the Prussian state, the province of Brandenburg and the municipal bodies (the districts of Ruppin, Westhavelland and Zauch-Belzig as well as the cities of Brandenburg and Rathenow). Nonetheless, the AG was converted into a state-owned company and from April 1, 1949 it was managed by the Deutsche Reichsbahn .
On December 15, 1953, a connecting track from Brandenburg Altstadt to the Brandenburg Süd depot on the route towards Golzow went into operation. This made it possible to travel directly to Brandenburg Neustadt (later part of Brandenburg Central Station ) without having to worry . These connections were used by both freight and passenger trains for commuter traffic to the Brandenburg steelworks .
In the 1960s, the USSR demanded further expansion from the GDR in order to give the former Czechoslovakia access to the Rostock port for freight traffic independent of Berlin .

Passenger traffic was stopped on October 1, 1962 on the section between Treuenbrietzen and Belzig. On November 30, 2003 the section between Rathenow Nord and Neustadt (Dosse) and on December 13, 2003 the section between Belzig and Brandenburg was put out of service. The poor condition in many places on the Brandenburg – Belzig section extended the travel times of the passenger trains, which are now run as Regionalbahn 52. Regional buses of line 570, which were used in parallel, caused further passenger losses. Passenger traffic on the Rathenow – Rathenow Nord section was given up on December 14, 2005, so passenger trains only run on the renovated Brandenburg – Rathenow section.
Even the freight has been abandoned gradually, between Belzig and Niemegk on 31 December 1998 and between Rathenow and Neustadt (Dosse) on 31 December 2001. Some sections are still private railway infrastructure companies held (EIU) on the section Belzig- Niemegk, this is the Deutsche Regionaleisenbahn GmbH (DRE) and between Brandenburg and Golzow the Prinsen Eisenbahninfrastructure GmbH operates the route.
The Brandenburg – Rathenow Nord section was renovated from 2003 to 2005 for 55 million euros and put back into operation on June 27, 2005.
The Rathenow – Neustadt (Dosse) section was closed on May 31, 2006. After the neighboring communities had shown no interest in acquiring the route, this was done in 2009 by the Havelbahn property development company, which wanted to set up a handcar operation . When this failed, the rails were first dismantled and then the route is to be freed of sleepers and gravel by March 2013 so that the land can primarily be sold to the neighboring communities.
In September 2007 Ostseeland Verkehr GmbH won the procedure for expressing interests initiated by VBB for the operation of the Rathenow – Brandenburg (Havel) section (RB 51). From December 2007 to December 2011 it operated the route as MR 51 with Desiro vehicles . Since December 2011, after a renewed invitation to tender, the East German Railway has been operating as OE 51 with brand-new Stadler GTW . With the timetable change on December 9, 2012, the line designation was standardized to RB 51, the line will continue to be operated by the East German Railway.
As a result of the invitation to tender for the Rathenow – Rathenow Nord section by DB Netze , which ran until August 31, 2011 , the RegioInfra Gesellschaft took over this section.
In July 2010, Prinsen Eisenbahninf Infrastruktur GmbH put the section from Golzow to Brandenburg Hbf, which follows the already closed Belzig – Golzow line, to tender for delivery to other RIUs. However, there were no sales negotiations. The Prinsen company began dismantling the rails between Golzow and Reckahn in January 2013 after all parked cars had been withdrawn.
Dedication was initiated for the section between Belzig and Golzow and the line was dismantled in 2012. In contrast, the section between Belzig and Niemegk was bought by the DRE at the end of October 2013. At the beginning of January 2014, on behalf of the Potsdam-Mittelmark district, it presented a concept for the establishment of a leisure railway including handcarriages and freight transport.
