The Haderslev Office Jernbaner ( German  Haderslebener orbit ) was an own establishment of the district Hadersleben in North Schleswig , which was ceded to Denmark the 1920s.

In 1914, the network of the Kleinbahn had a circumference of 209 kilometers. From 1936 the railway was no longer able to cope with the competition from the massively subsidized road traffic, and the routes were discontinued shortly after one another, most recently in 1939 the Haderslev – Toftlund section.

history

In the predominantly Danish-speaking North Schleswig, the Prussian state tried to massively improve the infrastructure. This also included the construction of small railways according to the Prussian Small Railroad Act of 1892.

The meter- gauge railway ran the following sections. All are listed in the course book 1914 under 102 h:

Hadersleben – Christiansfeld

route	km	opening	Shutdown
German: Christiansfeld - Hadersleben Danish: Christiansfeld – Haderslev	18.9	March 4, 1899	June 25, 1932

In the 1920s there were plans to relocate the main line ( Fredericia -) Kolding - Pattburg to the east, because Hadersleben and Aabenraa , the two largest cities in North Schleswig, should no longer be accessible only by branch and small railways. With this solution, parts of the Koldinger Südbahn and the Christiansfeld – Hadersleben circular route would have been included in the new main line. However, this project did not get beyond the planning stage. Instead, the roads in the part of the country were expanded.

In 1905, the Flensburg – Fredericia railway line was raised and the narrow-gauge line was built with partial use of the cleared subgrade.

German: Hadersleben - Sommerstedt - Schottburg Danish: Haderslev - Sommersted - Skodborg	37.3	July 1, 1905	February 1, 1933

The section between Amtsbanegaard and Statsbanegaard, equipped with four tracks with gauges of 1000 mm and 1435 mm, was taken over by the DSB in 1934 in order to be able to maintain train traffic to the port. For more information, see the Vojens – Haderslev line, details about the route and stations .

Ustrup-Toftlund-Arnum-Scherrebek

route	Length km	opening	Shutdown
German: Ustrup – Oberjersdal – Toftlund Danish: Ustrup – Over Jerstal – Toftlund	34.5	April 2, 1904	June 24, 1939

German: Arnum – Scherrebek Danish: Arnum – Skærbæk	21.0	April 1, 1911	May 21, 1937

In Arnum, the “Kreis” railway closed in 1910 and the expansion phase ended in April 1911.

In Scherrebek there was a possibility to change to the march railway . In grams you could switch to the other route of the “Kreis” railway (to Rödding).

The Reichskursbuch 1914 lists four to six pairs of trains per day on the individual sections under the number 102 h; between Gramm and Rödding there were even seven.

The vehicle fleet comprised 35 steam locomotives, 62 passenger cars, 5 baggage cars, 17 mail cars, 335 freight cars and 26 others.

The traffic has always been in deficit and there was no money to renew the routes. So the circular path was set early.

Ferry connection between Aarøsund and Assens

From 1923 there was a need to bring sugar beet from Jutland to the sugar factory in Assens on Funen . For this purpose, the ferry port of Aarøsund, which until then only served car traffic, was equipped with track systems. The Sønderjylland vehicle ferry, built by the Schmidt-Tüchsen & Hegge shipyard in Laboe , has been in use there since 1921 .

In 1923, the car ferry in Aalborg Værft was converted into a railway ferry with tracks with a gauge of 1000 mm in order to be able to cross the vehicles loaded on the circular route to Funen. For this purpose, the bow and stern openings of the ferry were widened to 2.9 meters by removing the cladding and equipped with new wooden doors. On October 5, 1923, the first three freight cars were brought from Aarøsund to Assens.

On May 22, 1937, scheduled traffic on the Haderslev Amtsbanegaard – Aarøsund Havn line ended. The freight wagons were transported to Assens by the Kleinbahn until the end of the beet campaign in 1937/38.

After the end of the beet transports, the route 350 m before Aarøsund was interrupted from February 15, 1938 and the route to Haderslev was dismantled. The locomotive shed in Aarøsund, the tracks in the train station and on the ferry dock, as well as the remaining 350 meters of track, the steam locomotive No. 44 ( 1448/1910 / Jung) and 64 open wagons were taken over by Roedyrkerforeningen Haderslev Näs , which belongs to Assens Sukkerfabrik . This continued to transport the freight wagons by ferry.

After a collision with a mine on October 22, 1942, Sønderjylland sank south of Årø. After the uplift in the spring of 1943, it was repaired in Svendborg Skibsværft . Because of the oil shortage during the Second World War , the ship only sailed during the beet campaign from October to January until 1946.

In February 1951, after the end of the beet campaign in 1950, the transport of the railway wagons by ferry was stopped and the tracks on land dismantled.
