Bad Oldesloe station

Bad Oldesloe station is the most important station of the town of Bad Oldesloe in the German state of Schleswig-Holstein. DB Station&Service assigns it to category 2. It is located on the Lübeck–Hamburg railway, which was opened in 1865. The station has been a rail junction since 1875, when the branch to Neumünster went into operation. The Hagenow Land–Bad Oldesloe and Schwarzenbek–Bad Oldesloe railways followed in 1887 and 1897, but they have since closed. The track of the Elmshorn–Bad Oldesloe railway is only used as an industrial connecting track to Blumendorf for freight. Local public transport is operated by the Stadtwerke Bad Oldesloe, the municipal utility.
The station was opened with the Hamburg-Lübeck railway by the Lübeck-Büchen Railway Company on 1 August 1865. The station became a branch station on 10 December 1875 with the building of the line to Neumünster by the Altona-Kiel Railway Company . The Altona-Kiel Railway Company was taken over 1884 by the Prussian state railways and it opened a line to Schwarzenbek on 1 August 1887. The line to Ratzeburg was put into operation on 15 August 1897, also by the Prussian state railways. Both lines crossed the line to Hamburg to the south of the station on flyovers.
