Neuruppin Paulinenauer train station
Neuruppin Paulinenauer Bahnhof was the terminus of the Paulinenaue-Neuruppin Railway in Neuruppin, which was in operation from 1901 to 1930 . In the timetables it was only referred to as Neuruppin , just like the Neuruppin station of the Kremmen-Wittstocker Eisenbahn, which opened around the same time and later became the city's main station. The Paulinenau railway station replaced the first station of the Paulinenaue-Neuruppiner railway, which was opened in 1880 and was further south, which was still used for freight traffic afterwards.
From 1930 the trains from Paulinenaue also started at Neuruppiner Hauptbahnhof. The reception building of the Paulinenauer Bahnhof has been preserved and is a listed building . The building of the first station of the Paulinenauer-Neuruppiner Eisenbahn, the oldest station building in the city, is also listed.
location
The Paulinenauer Bahnhof is south of the town center of Neuruppin in the Ostprignitz-Ruppin district in Brandenburg . It was the end point of the railway line coming from the south from Paulinenaue. The station is east of Fehrbelliner Strasse and south of Scholtenstrasse.
The first Neuruppiner train station is about 500 meters south, also east of today's Fehrbelliner Straße in the area of today's Straße Am Fehrbelliner Tor. A planned street leading across the station area bears the name “An der Pauline” in memory of the railway line.
history
The Paulinenaue-Neuruppiner Eisenbahngesellschaft opened the line from Paulinenaue to Neuruppin (popularly known as the "Stille Pauline") for public transport on September 12, 1880 after a construction period of almost a year. This gave the city its first railway connection with a train station in the far south of the city.
Towards the end of the 19th century the need for additional rail connections increased. The Kremmen-Neuruppin-Wittstocker Eisenbahngesellschaft started freight traffic on December 16, 1898 and passenger traffic on February 1, 1899 on the route from Kremmen via Neuruppin to Wittstock , followed by the Ruppiner Kreisbahn with the Neustadt railway line opened on November 1, 1902 –Herzberg . Due to the topographical location of the city, the old train station could not be used; both companies used the new Neuruppin train station north-west of the city center.
In the meantime, the Paulinenaue-Neuruppiner Eisenbahngesellschaft had built a new station closer to the city with a representative station building, which was opened in 1901. From then on, the old station was only used for freight traffic. In order not to fall behind the other railway companies, the Paulinenaue-Neuruppiner Eisenbahngesellschaft needed the construction of a connection to the Neuruppin station of the Kremmen-Wittstocker Railway. The latter company commissioned Lenz & Co. with the construction of the 1.2 kilometer long line that branched off from the Paulinenaue line in the area of the old train station. The Paulinenaue-Neuruppiner Eisenbahngesellschaft had to cover most of the construction costs.
Initially, the new Paulinenau station continued to be used for passenger transport. In timetables he was only referred to as Neuruppin , only footnotes indicated the different locations of the two stations. The passenger traffic was always moderate and amounted to about five pairs of trains a day.
After the financial situation of the Paulinenaue-Neuruppiner Eisenbahngesellschaft became increasingly difficult in the early 1920s, it was taken over by the Ruppiner Eisenbahn (which in turn was already a merger of several local railroad companies) in 1923. However, it was not until May 15, 1930 that all passenger traffic in the Neuruppin station, which was then given the name Neuruppin Hauptbahnhof , was combined and the Paulinenau station was closed.
Not far from the first Neuruppin train station, the Neuruppin Königstor stop (after 1945: Neuruppin Fehrbelliner Straße ) was set up on the connecting route .
On May 20, 1970, passenger traffic between Paulinenaue and Neuruppin ended. Because of the construction of the Berlin – Rostock autobahn, the route from the southern outskirts of Neuruppin and Dammkrug was dismantled. Within Neuruppin, the line remained in operation for several freight traffic connections in the area of the first Neuruppin train station until the early 1990s.
All train tracks have now been dismantled. Both the reception building of the first Neuruppin train station and that of the Paulinenau train station have been preserved.

The first Neuruppin train station
The reception building is a two-storey building made of bricks and half-timbered houses with a gable roof . Master mason A. Zabel is accepted as the building master; the design comes from the Reymer & Masch railway company . The station building, the paved station forecourt and a one-story toilet building with a gable roof to the south of the station building are under monument protection. There used to be a two-tier engine shed and a loading ramp.
The area of the track system is currently (as of January 2015) unused. Plans call for the construction of a residential area. A winter berth for boats was planned on part of the area of the previous track system, which was changed in 2013 in favor of additional areas for residential construction.
The Paulinenauer Bahnhof
The "Paulinenauer Bahnhof, consisting of a station building, platform with edging and stairs, forecourt with paving" is on the list of monuments of the state of Brandenburg. The station building is based on the models of the Brandenburg brick Gothic. The name Zabel is named as the master builder, presumably on behalf of the Reymer & Masch railway company. It is a two-story building with a jagged floor , heavily structured by several turrets and other extensions. A building for express goods handling and a toilet building are also listed.
The station building is used by medical practices and a pharmacy. In front of the station building, a section of track and an art installation “Stille Pauline” reminds of the route. Thereby steles were set up that come from the former steps leading to the platform.
