History
In 1837, the county seat Prenzlau tried a connection to the Prussian railway network. The announced construction of the Berlin- Szczecin railway should be used to bring the train as close as possible to Prenzlau, thus allowing the construction of a branch line. However, during commissioning in 1843 only one station in Passow and a feeding Chaussee were first set up in the county seat. Plans to connect the city directly by rail, has not come to meet part of the Prussian Ministry of Commerce. Only with the efforts of the Western Pomeranian cities Pasewalk, Anklam and Greifswald was the construction of a branch line in the Uckermark and Vorpommern to date again. The construction of the " Uckermärkisch - Vorpommern Railway " was started on August 15, 1861. Already on October 10, 1862 rolled a first railway train of Angermuende to Prenzlau. The first section, in which also is Prenzlau, was finally opened to traffic on 16 March 1863.

West of the Central Railroad Station, a circle has been created and provided with corresponding transfer points between two tracks on the north side of the reception building for it. Just three years ago the railway line Templin Prenzlau had been opened to traffic.
By the year 1910, the route of Angermuende to Stralsund was expanded throughout twofold. A further expansion of the station facilities took place in the 1920s.
