The Wandsbeker industrial railway GmbH served as a freight rail connection in the district of Hamburg-Wandsbek for 50 years of service of freight cars from its own transfer station Hamburg-Wandsbek to nearly forty industrial companies. Around twenty of them were the shareholders of this GmbH .
history
What was remarkable about this line, which opened on March 15, 1916, was the gauge and electrical operation.
The transfer station was connected to the freight yard of the Lübeck-Büchener Eisenbahn- Gesellschaft - since 1938 Deutsche Reichsbahn (or, after the Second World War, Bundesbahn ). He had normal and narrow-gauge tracks, the routes in the streets of the city had been laid exclusively in meter gauge . Most of the tracks at the transfer station were provided with overhead lines so that the electric locomotive could run here.
Statistics give a total track length of 7.8 km in meter gauge and 1.7 km in standard gauge for 1961 .
The standard-gauge freight wagons were delivered on trestles and later on trolleys . The trains were initially transported with electric battery locomotives, which could also be operated on the overhead line in the station, from 1919/20 to 1957 with steam locomotives. Diesel locomotives were also used from 1941 until it was shut down on June 30, 1966. In the transfer station, an electric locomotive was in overhead line operation until the end, although the Lübeck – Hamburg line ( Vogelfluglinie ) was not electrified until 2008.
After the industrial railway was shut down, standard-gauge freight wagons with DB Culemeyer road scooters were delivered until the 1980s , with the tank wagons for the Reichold company (formerly: BECKACITE KUNSTHARZ GmbH ) being placed on narrow-gauge rolling wagons on the factory premises.
route
The transfer station was south of the Hamburg – Lübeck railway line, east of Holstenhofweg . A track went east from there to Schimmelmannstraße , from there the track with the change of direction led west along the street, where there were four connections, and ended before Holstenhofweg .
To the west, the track went from the transfer station to Holstenhofweg , where it turned north and ran along the road over the railway line. Via Ölmühlenweg and Am Stadtrand we went to Tilsiter Straße , before which the route ended in a loop. A branch track led into Helbingstrasse , another from this into Helbingtwiete to beyond Friedrich-Ebert-Strasse , but the connections north of Friedrich-Ebert-Strasse were abandoned before 1949. There were over twenty sidings on this route with the main customer Beckacite Kunstharz in Helbingstrasse .
Another important track branched off from this line at the end of the railway overpass at Holstenhof and led back south to the railway line, swiveling west next to it to Efftingerstrasse, on this north to Holzmühlenstrasse and then north of the Wandse towards west to Hogrevestrasse, on this continued and ended in front of Wendemuthstrasse. The North German yeast industry was one of the main connections here. A siding branched off from this track shortly after Holzmühlenstraße, which reached over Walddörferstraße.
The connections were usually laid in such a way that the trains could be pushed into them, thus avoiding repositioning trips on the road.
