History

Husum - Erfde - Rendsburg

Originally there was a direct, 50 km link of Husum by the Treeneniederung about Norderstapel and Erfde to Rendsburg and as here described to Kiel. The route Husum - Erfde - Rendsburg was opened on 1 September 1910. In Norderstapel cruised to 1934 the route Friedrichstadt Schleswig Schleswig the circular path.

In the late 1920s, there were continuous passenger trains of the relation Husum - Erfde - Rendsburg- Kiel. The trip took about three hours. A faster pair of trains with few Heading Hold needed only about two hours and 20 minutes. 1959 sailed railcars the route to Rendsburg in about 70 minutes. Local trains of the relation Husum - Kiel were still out on Erfde while Eilzüge already drove over Juebek. It perverse about eight pairs of trains a day.

On May 25, 1974, the passenger of Husum Erfde to Rendsburg has been set. At the same time the freight was stopped on the section between Erfde and scorn. The line was then successively dismantled. Thus, two random routes for the remaining freight Husum - Erfde and Rendsburg- mockery from the continuous connection. These were further reduced in the following decades piecemeal.

One reason for the closure is said to be in the middle part of the range of boggy ground. Since then, all trains from Husum to keel over Juebek, Schleswig and Rendsburg, which means a detour of about 12 km.

The track is now largely dismantled. On 28 May 1988, the transport of goods between Fockbek and scorn has been set. Until 1 July 1999, there were more freight by Fockbek, most recently as station track. A remaining, about 2.5 kilometer remaining piece connects the Rendsburg railway station with a northern industrial area and is also now unused.

From Husum from there until September 24, 1988 more freight to Erfde, until 27 May 1989 or after Schwabstedt until May 22, 1993 until after Mildstedt. As a station track to 2003, there was a modest freight to a timber in Mildstedt. There the route last came to a buffer. Service trips were made by the private railway NVAG from Niebüll. Following the insolvency of NVAG and closure of the woodwork no rail transport took place on this residual portion.

Husum - Juebek

This 26 km long route was created after the Prussian -Danish War of the operated since October 25, 1854 haul Flensburg- Tonning, which had been built, among others, for the transport of livestock to the UK and at the Husum already 32 years before connection to the march travel has been reached. After the annexation of the Duchy of Schleswig by Prussia in the north-eastern part of this route was diverted from Eggebek over Schleswig to Neumünster on a new route. From Sollbrück from where the old line was rededicated to Ohrstedt and Husum, on 29 December 1869 Juebek station on the shorter detour route, the link is operational.

Long before the closure of the route Husum - Erfde - Rendsburg express trains on Husum - Juebek were performed. So the line was used as early as 1959 of two locomotive-hauled Eilzugpaaren the relation Husum - Kiel. There were passenger trains operated each station the way. Their trip took about 37 minutes. The breakpoint Rosendahl was decommissioned before 1975 as the first station the way the track. Today, the trains no longer hold between Husum and Juebek. The last freight customer on the line entertained the Bundeswehr in Ohrstedt until the end of 2001 in freight transport their connection. There was a gap in the morning clock persons schedule. Since 2006, the Bundeswehr connection can be operated again.

Juebek - Rendsburg

In the middle of the railway line Neumünster -Flensburg is shared; the Klosterkrug station was located on the 1869 route degraded.

Rendsburg- Kiel

This section was opened on October 15, 1904 by the Prussian state railways. The passenger was mostly operated by local train. Already in the late 1920s there were through trains to Husum, some of which had only a few intermediate stops. Later sailed regularly three to four Eilzugpaare the route, including a pair of trains Husum -Lübeck. After closure of the railway line Niebüll -Flensburg 1980, the seasonal circulating train pair was Sylt wave (Kiel - Westerland ( Sylt), sometimes from Lübeck) via Rendsburg instead of Flensburg. This train reversed in 2005 for the last time. He was the last locomotive hauled passenger train on this route.

Youngest breakpoint between Rendsburg and Kiel was Mettenhof. Thus a nearby Kiel satellite settlement was operated from the early 1970s. 1984 all intermediate stops were canceled. 1987 Regional rapid transit (RSB ) were introduced. The field station (formerly Brandsbek ) was taken with the operation recording the Nord-Ostsee- Bahn (NOB ) in 2000 as a breakpoint again.
