history
The district Greifenhagen in the Prussian province of Pomerania included to 1939, only an area on the right bank of the Oder south of Stettin. Since 1877 the main line Stettin – Küstrin of the Breslau-Schweidnitz-Freiburg Railway Company ran through it along the river .
The parts of the district further to the east were only opened up by small railroad lines twenty years later. The owner was the AG Greifenhagener Kreisbahnen, in which the district, the Provincial Association of Pomerania and the Prussian state were significantly involved.
It all started on January 25, 1895 with the 33-kilometer connection from the district town of Greifenhagen to the small town of Bahn and on to Wildenbruch in the south. At the same time, a small port railway was built in Greifenhagen.
From August 28, 1898, a line branched off from the first line in Klein Schönfeld to the neighboring district town of Pyritz , which also belonged to the Greifenhagener Kreisbahnen up to the district boundary (6 km), but was initially only used by the Pyritzer Kreisbahn . There were also continuous trains from Greifenhagen to Pyritz.
At the same time, a stretch from Finkenwalde near Stettin reached the municipality of Neumark (21 km). It had a very high number of trains for small railways (eight train pairs in 1939); because it was in the catchment area of the large city of Stettin with business and excursion traffic. On December 1, 1905, Neumark closed the gap to Woltersdorf on the Pyritzer Line. The standard gauge network thus reached a length of 75 km, of which only about 2 km were outside the circle.
The company was run by Lenz & Co GmbH until 1910 , then the small railway department of the Provincial Association and from 1920 the Association of Central Pomeranian Small Railways GmbH. This task was taken over by the Pomeranian regional railway directorate in 1937, until the company was incorporated into the Pomeranian regional railway under the name of Greifenhagener Bahnen with effect from January 1, 1940 .
In 1939 the vehicle fleet comprised 8 steam locomotives, 1 railcar, 14 passenger cars, 5 pack cars and 51 freight cars.
After the Second World War, the Polish State Railways relocated the beginning of the previous Finkenwalde - Klein Schönfeld line to Altdamm (now Szczecin-Dąbie), shut down most of the line and left the beginning as a connecting line, which was even electrified in 1983, to a heating plant.
In 1997 the passenger traffic Greifenhagen - Pyritz via Klein Schönfeld was discontinued, the passenger traffic Klein Schönfeld - Wildenbruch between 1983 and 1990. Today the entire route is no longer passable.
