37-880: In 1836, the Berlin Committee for the Construction of the Berlin-Szczecin railway was founded. The railway line was completed in 1842, and on 15 August 1843, the first train from Berlin pulled into the station, which at the time was known as the Berliner Bahnhof. This line ended in Berlin at Berlin Stettiner Bahnhof, later renamed Berlin Nordbahnhof ). This was the start of the railways in Pomerania. The station also served as

74-480: A contract for the reconstruction of the railway. As part of this investment, the station building, platforms 1 and 4 were rebuilt and a new footbridge was built. In the future it is planned for the second phase of the modernisation of the station. The main building of the station was completely closed for renovation, with a temporary station opened. On 29 April 2016 the modernised station was opened. On 14 November 14, 2017, Polish State Railways signed an agreement with

Since 2010, Angermünde is a federally declared resort town . The name Angermünde is an abbreviation of the older town of Tangermünde , for

148-582: A separate alignment, but this was abandoned in 1897. Since then, the line has run along the Ringbahn and along the Northern Railway to Bornholmer Straße where it returns to the old alignment. Before reaching the Berlin city limits north of Buch , the line has no significant curves. At Bernau the line swings briefly to the east to avoid the medieval centre. As far as Angermünde it runs largely parallel with federal highway B2 , which it crosses several times. To

185-808: A while the town was named New-Tangermünde ( Neu-Tangermünde ), until it was changed to "Angermünde", with Anger being German for a central square in a town. Angermünde is located in the Uckermarck region, roughly 69 km north of Berlin. It is made up of the Inner City (German: Kernstadt ), and 23 adjacent districts. The districts are: Altkünkendorf, Biesenbrow, Bölkendorf, Bruchhagen, Crussow, Dobberzin, Frauenhagen, Gellmersdorf, Görlsdorf, Greiffenberg, Günterberg, Herzsprung, Kerkow, Mürow, Neukünkendorf, Schmargendorf, Schmiedeberg, Steinhöfel, Stolpe, Welsow, Wilmersdorf, Wolletz, and Zuchenberg.

222-403: Is a town in the district of Uckermark in the state of Brandenburg , Germany . It is about 43 miles (69 km) northeast of Berlin , the capital of Germany . The population is about 14,000, but has been declining since its traditional industrial base, enamel -working, has declined. An administrative sub-centre of its district, it has several Protestant churches, a former Franciscan church ,

259-609: Is still used by regional trains on the Berlin–Angermünde route (some to or from Stralsund ) and on the Angermünde–Szczecin route as well as the long-distance trains on the entire Berlin–Szczecin line. Between central Berlin and the suburban station of Bernau the line also has its own suburban tracks used by the Berlin S-Bahn . The line is also a major route for the transport of freight between Germany and Poland. Except for

296-729: The Stettiner Bahn (Stettin Railway) is a mainline railway built by the Berlin-Stettin Railway Company between the German capital of Berlin and the now Polish city of Szczecin , then part of Prussia and known as Stettin. It is one of the oldest lines in Germany , built in 1842 and 1843 and was the company's trunk line. The line was duplicated between Berlin and Angermünde in 1863 and between Angermünde and Szczecin in 1873. The line

333-517: The line to Stralsund that branches off at Angermünde. The section between Passow and Szczecin remained unelectrified. Since the opening of the new Berlin Hauptbahnhof (central station) on 27 May 2006 trains again run through Gesundbrunnen station to the new North-South mainline so that travellers on the Szczecin line now take the shortest route to the centre of Berlin. Despite European integration

370-758: The East side of the station. The first phase of the North-South Tunnel was opened in June 1936, just in time for the 1936 Olympic games in Berlin. The end of the Second World War had serious implications for the route. The line's second track was dismantled to provide reparations to the Soviet Union . As a result of the boundary change after the Second World War , the city of Stettin became part of Poland in 1945 and

407-647: The First World War, the suburban railways were electrified. Originally it had been planned to use the usual German AC system of overhead electrification with 16.7 kilovolts and 15 hertz. However, while construction work was in full swing – in Pankow the first electric pylons had already been erected – German Railways decided in favour of a DC system with side-contact conductor rail at 750 volts. The hyperinflation of 1923 delayed construction, however, allowing completion to take place only in summer of 1924. On 8 August 1924,

518-414: The area around the station. In 2007 the station was partially renovated in connection with the end of the regatta The Tall Ships Races. The entrance hall of the station and the footbridge were modernised. On 20 December 2010, an agreement was signed for the reconstruction of the station and its surroundings. It was planned that by the end of 2014 the works would be completed. On 1 October 2014 PKP signed

555-561: The beginning of the line, the line crosses the German-Polish border. In Szczecin-Gumieńce, the railway joins the Bützow–Szczecin railway and then runs to Szczecin central station. The station's placement reflects the reasons for the line's construction: it is located on the banks of the Oder at the foot of the hill on which the centre of the city is located. The station building does not face

592-413: The beginning of the twentieth century led to chaotic conditions at level crossings, requiring the separation of the modes. This was carried out in several stages between 1912 and 1916 by creating embankments from Berlin to Bernau and separating long-distance and suburban tracks. The planned electrification of the suburban railways was not implemented for the time being, owing to World War I . Shortly after

629-508: The city, but rather the promenade next to the quay. The line was Berlin's first fast connection to the sea, which connected Prussia to the rest of world by steamship from Stettin. The Berlin-Stettin Railway Company (German: Berlin-Stettiner Eisenbahn-Gesellschaft , BStE) was founded in Berlin in March 1836 by a number of businessmen with the aim of building a railway from Berlin to Stettin. It

666-550: The company Porr for the next stage of station reconstruction, which includes, among others, the reconstruction of platforms 2 and 3 as well as a footbridge.

740-532: The first electric commuter train line was opened between the Stettiner suburban station and Bernau. Since 1 December 1930, this line has formed part of the Berlin S-Bahn . As one of public works projects to reduce the unemployment figures, launched after the Nazis' conquest of power in 1933, the long discussed project of a north–south transversal S-Bahn link was decided in 1933, and started to be implemented in 1934, linking

777-459: The initial phase towards dismantling the Prussian city fortifications of Fort Prussia (Fort Preußen). In 1846, a railway line was constructed to Stargard (and extended to Poznań by 1848). This line intersected the Berlin line at a right angle as the station was then a terminal station. This necessitated the excavation of a 100-meter tunnel into the hillside. At that time, the track layout led through

814-549: The north of the town of Eberswalde is the tunnel under the Oder–Havel Canal (Hohenzollern Canal): one of the most important engineering structures on the line. The last section of the line turns a little more to the east towards the Oder river. In the last few kilometres before the border with Poland the line comes within a few hundred metres of the state border of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern without actually crossing it. About three kilometres beyond Rosow, and 119.6 km from

851-509: The placement of the Stettin station next to the Oder in the middle of the business district. Since it had only sold shares worth 1.037 million thalers, it was taken over by the old Pomeranian local parliament, which guaranteed a return for six years, and the sum of 500,000 thalers was invested by the citizens of Stettin and neighbouring landowners. The final concession was issued on 12 October 1840. During

In close proximity to the station, on Czarnieckiego Street, the headquarters of the West Pomeranian Regional Transport Company is located. The City Tourist Trail begins and ends at the station. Nearby public transport stops: "Dworzec Główny" and "Owocowa Dworzec". The complex of buildings housing the Railway Directorate in Szczecin dominates

925-543: The railway track is in poor condition especially between Angermünde and Szczecin. Between Passow and Szczecin Gumieńce it is still single-track and unelectrified. The doubling, electrification and upgrading of the entire route to allow running at 160 km/h begun in 2021, funded by the federal government of Germany (€380M), and the federal states of Berlin and Brandenburg (€50M each) Angerm%C3%BCnde Angermünde ( German pronunciation: [aŋɐˈmʏndə] )

962-478: The section between Passow and Szczecin Gumieńce the entire route is electrified. The route originally began at Stettiner Bahnhof (Stettin station)—renamed in 1952 as Nordbahnhof (North station)—to the north of central Berlin . The track first runs briefly to the northwest and then turns toward the northeast. Near the current Berlin Ringbahn and the Prussian Northern Railway , the line formerly had

999-462: The southern part of Kępa Parnicka island (now Maklerska Street , formerly Eisenbahnstraße , meaning Railway Street ), along the Rybne Canal (until 1859), and then alongside Siedlińska Kępa island and along the present-day Hangarowa Street to the [Dąbie, Szczecin] station. Until 1857, a railway line led through Szczecin from Berlin to Königsberg via Krzyż, Piła , Bydgoszcz , and Tczew . In 1859,

1036-421: The station building was constructed, and after renovations and reconstruction following the damages of World War II , it stands to this day. Between 1975 and 1980, most of the Szczecin railway junction was electrified. Near the station, there are two signal boxes: "SG" and "SG 11". Currently, the station has four platforms covered by canopies (the canopy on the first platform is pre-war). Overhead passages lead to

1073-467: The station was expanded and transformed into a through station, with the current track layout passing through the northern part of Kępa Parnicka island, leading to the present-day Szczecin Central Port station. In 1898, the last line was extended from the station to Jasienica, Police (now a northern district of the city of Police . An out-of-use locomotive depot is situated in the hillside. Around 1900,

1110-470: The three northern suburban lines terminating at the Stettiner Bahnhof with the three southern suburban lines terminating at Potsdamer Bahnhof , by a tunnel from Stettiner Bahnhof to Anhalter Bahnhof . Two new stations were built in the north, at Bornholmer Straße and Humboldthain ; the suburban terminal, placed on the west side of the Stettiner Bahnhof was replaced by an underground station placed on

1147-425: Was hoped that 39,000 people and 20,000 tons of freight would be transported annually and that with an estimated construction cost of 2.5 million thalers this would provide a return of just over five percent. On 10 July 1836, an interim licence was granted for the railway. The cost in the final draft was 2.724 million thalers. The increase was largely due to upgraded standards, such as the use of better structures and

1184-432: Was moved on to the route of the Ringbahn to connect with the new transfer station of Gesundbrunnen . At Bornholmer Straße the line then branched off the line of the Prussian Northern Railway to the east. Freight tracks on the section had already been opened on 1 May 1897. Between 1903 and 1906, the Stettiner station was expanded and converted to accommodate suburban train services. The rapid growth of road transport at

1221-522: Was officially opened on 15 August 1843. The first time table provided for two pairs of passenger trains per day, taking four hours and 20 to 30 minutes, and one pair of cargo trains taking five hours and 21 minutes (in the Berlin-Stettin direction) and 45 minutes in the other direction. On 1 May 1846 the line was extended by the opening of the Stettin–Stargard section. The Berlin station in Stettin

1258-427: Was renamed Szczecin. The cross-border traffic between Angermünde and Szczecin declined significantly after the war, as Stettin's German-speaking population had been expelled in totality . In particular, passenger services were limited to one train a day. In 1950 the line's terminus in Berlin was renamed Nordbahnhof (North Station). The closure of the station on 18 May 1952 meant the temporary end of rail operations on

1295-675: Was the site of a 1420 victory of Frederick I of Brandenburg over the Pomeranians . From 1815 to 1947, Angermünde was part of the Prussian Province of Brandenburg . In the 19th century, the town was the seat of a Prussian circle in the Province of Brandenburg and linked to Berlin by the Berlin – Stettin (now Szczecin, Poland ) railway. Angermünde station then served as the junction for branch lines servicing Prenzlau , Bad Freienwalde , and Schwedt . From 1947 to 1952, Angermünde

1332-567: Was transferred to that line. The second track from Berlin to Angermünde was put into operation on 22 December 1863 and on 1 August 1873 the work which had begun in 1872 on doubling the Angermünde–Stettin–Stargard line was completed. On 1 February 1880 the BStE was nationalised and became part of Prussian state railways . On 12 December 1897 the line along Grüntaler Straße in the Berlin district of Wedding, which had several level crossings,

1369-599: Was transformed into a through station. The opening of the Prussian Eastern Railway ’s Krzyż – Piła – Bydgoszcz line in 1851 benefited the Szczecin Railway as the two lines were connected via the extension of the Szczecin–Stargard line to Krzyż in 1848 (or 1849). After the opening of the Eastern Railway's Krzyż– Kostrzyn – Frankfurt (Oder) –Berlin line in 1857, all of the Eastern Railway's traffic to Berlin
