The Wengerohr – Bernkastel-Kues line was a branch line in Rhineland-Palatinate . It connected the Wengerohr train station (today Wittlich Hbf ) on the Moselle route with the Bernkastel-Kues train station on the northern bank of the Moselle .
The line was only built on a single track and never electrified . Today the Maare-Mosel-Radweg runs along its route .
history
The Mosel route was at its construction in 1879 of Koblenz to Cochem the course of the still well Untermosel follow. With the Kaiser-Wilhelm-Tunnel one then bypassed several Moselle loops for the first time. From Neef to Bullay , the Moselle route then runs for several kilometers along the Moselle. Due to the strong meandering of the Middle Moselle, the Moselle route leaves the Moselle valley near Pünderich and leads on a relatively direct route via Wengerohr to Trier .
Since this meant that many winegrowing towns were not connected to the railway network, the following year began to open up individual towns with branch lines. On March 21, 1883, the branch line to Traben along the Moselle was opened.
In the same year the branch line to Cues was completed. This began in Wengerohr in the Wittlich valley and followed the course of the Lieser , which flows into the Moselle at the Lieser community of the same name .
Passenger traffic ceased on June 2, 1984, and all traffic on May 27, 1989.
In the period that followed, the route was completely dismantled and replaced by the Maare-Mosel cycle path .
In July 2016, the proposed DB Netz AG , the exemption from railway operations for purposes of the section from km 0.480 (next to the sandy road in Wengerohr, just behind number 3) to km 3.250 (southern outskirts plates).
